A bedside crib (also called a bassinet or co-sleeper) is a small infant crib that is attached to your adult bed, allowing your newborn to sleep comfortably next to you. This is a safe form of co-sleeping that does not increase the risk of SIDS, like bedsharing. It can also help you bond with the new baby.

They usually have a side that can be lowered, so you can easily reach your infant during the night for feeding and comforting. This is particularly useful for mothers who are recovering from a c section.

If you're looking for a more long-term solution, some cribs come with conversion kits that allow you to transform them into a toddler bed or cot at the time that is appropriate.

Some can be used with a regular adult bed or a high-rise model. This is a good choice for families that plan on frequently traveling or switching rooms at night. It is also important to consider the size of your bedroom to ensure that you can squeeze the crib in comfortably.

The Iora is a bassinet that can be placed at the bedside that allows parents to feel more connected to their child while they sleep. It can be adjusted upwards and downwards and moved to three different slide positions to fit under the parent's bed or in the corner, so that the baby is always within reach.
