What is a bedside crib?

A bedside crib, also referred to as a bassinet or a co-sleeper, is a small baby cot attached to your adult bed. This allows your newborn to sleep next to you in a safe environment. This is a secure form of co-sleeping that doesn't increase the risk of SIDS, like bedsharing. It also helps you bond with the new baby.

The cots usually have a side that is able to be raised, so you can easily reach your newborn throughout the night for feeding and comforting. This is particularly helpful for mothers who are recovering from a c section. Many are also foldable or portable, so you can take them on your travels and use them as a sleeping solution for infants who aren't ready to transition to a full-sized cot.

Choose a crib that has a breathable mattress, and a protective cover that will keep your baby safe from staining. You might also want to buy baby-safe accessories such as an infant blanket or a teether.

If you're looking for a longer-term option, some cribs come with conversion kits that allow you to convert them into a cot or a toddler bed when the time comes. This will prolong their life and make the transition a lot easier. Some even have a detachable top section that converts into an infant bed, and some can be used as the regular or high-rise adult bed. This is a great option for families that plan on frequently traveling or transferring between bedrooms throughout the night. You should also think about the size of your room to ensure you can fit the crib comfortably. Many cribs have a riser that can be used to create an incline to accommodate babies with reflux.
