What is a bedside crib vs cot crib?

A bedside crib, also known as a bassinet or a co-sleeper is a baby cot attached to your adult bed. This allows your child to sleep next to you in safety. This is a form of co-sleeping in a safe manner that doesn't increase the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) like bedsharing, and can help you bond with your new arrival.

The cots come with one side that can be lowered so that you can reach your baby bedside crib easily in the nighttime to comfort them and feed them. This is especially helpful for mothers recovering from a c-section. Many of them are portable or foldable which means you can use them for trips and as a temporary solution for newborns who aren't ready to move into a crib that is large enough.

Others can be used with an adult bed that is standard or a high-rise model. This is a great option for families that intend to frequently travel or switch between bedrooms at night. You should also consider how big your bedroom is to ensure you can fit the crib comfortably. A lot of cribs have a riser that can be added to create an incline for babies who have reflux.

This crib was designed to enable parents to connect and sleep side-by-side with their children without sharing one bed. It's loaded with features that help make bonding between parent and baby safe, easy, and fun.

One of the most important features is a soft rocking motion that can be activated with the touch of an button. This will help soothe your baby to sleep by a gentle rhythm that doesn't disrupt their natural sleep pattern. This is ideal for older babies or toddlers who have difficulty settling down. It can also aid with digestive issues such as reflux and colic.

The crib can be locked in its place after the rocking has been completed to stop it from moving. It can be secured to the side of your bed by clips and straps. This makes the crib stable and secure and allows you to sleep soundly without worrying that your child will slide off into the middle. The round shape of the cocoon is complemented by softly padding on the sides and double mesh windows at both ends. This allows for airflow while keeping your baby safe.

The included mattress is comfortable and firm. It also includes a washable cover. The aluminum frame is lightweight, making the crib extremely portable and easy to assemble. The four wheels that lock are rubber-covered to ensure that the crib won't leave marks on your floor and are easy to move around.

This superior model is designed to be a secure, baby-sitter from birth until 6 months. It features bars with rocking to make it easy to move and castors. Its airflow mattress is luxurious and provides an incredibly comfortable sleeping surface, while the ventilation panels ensure your baby is kept cool.

Anna discovered that the CoZee was a safe and comfy sleep space for her newborn. She was pleased that it didn't move like other models, so she didn't wake up in the night trying to soothe her baby during feedings. She also liked that the side of the chair could be lowered so she didn't have to reach over her partner to lift the child out to feed them at night.

The CoZee is available in charcoal and oak and is a chic addition to the bedroom. It's more an expensive piece of furniture than many of the other cribs that we've tried, which look quite utilitarian in comparison. It's also fairly light at just 11kg, and comes with a carry case which allows you to take it away on holidays or when you move house. The only extras you have to purchase are a fitted waterproof sheet and a co-sleeping safety strap. The instructions and illustrations are simple to follow once you open the box.

The Maxi-Cosi lora

The Iora is a bassinet for infants designed to help parents feel connected with their baby as they sleep. It can be adjusted upwards and downwards and shifted through three different positions for sliding to fit beside the parent's bed or in the corner, to ensure that the infant is always in reach. The mesh siding allows air to flow through, and allows you to see your baby quickly. You can also store any extra pajamas or items in the large storage basket beneath.

As opposed to other bedside cribs Iora is a standout among other bedside cribs. Iora can be folded flat and comes with a travel bag so that it can be taken anywhere. It was easy to move from room to room, and our mum testers believed it was the right size for a bedside crib. The large storage basket is perfect to store bedding and nappies.

This is a great choice for parents looking to sleep in a co-sleeping arrangement but don't want to share their beds, or whose partners might be suffering from mobility issues, such as arthritis or back pain. Our mum testers loved the ease with which they could access their baby while in the Iora and that it came with an option to have a reflux incline which helped reduce gas.

Our moms appreciate the fact that it meets NICE guidelines which state that you should place the baby in the crib or Moses basket on its own (with no toys, blankets pillows, etc.). The mattress is also firm and comfortable for babies and sheets are easy to find. It's not as light as some of the cribs that are smaller on our list, so if you prefer something lighter and easier to move, you can choose another option.
