What is a bedside crib?

A bedside crib (also known as bassinet or co-sleeper) is a baby crib that is attached to your adult bed, allowing your baby to sleep in a safe environment with you. This is a safe form of co-sleeping, which does not increase the risk of SIDS like bedsharing. It also helps you bond with the new baby.

The cots come with a side which can be lowered to allow you to reach your baby easily in the nighttime to comfort them and feed them. This is particularly beneficial for mothers who are recovering from a c-section. Many of them are foldable or portable which means you can use them to travel or as an interim solution for babies that aren't yet ready to be able to transition into a crib that is large enough.

Some can be used with a regular adult bed or a high-rise model. This is an excellent choice for families that intend to travel frequently or change between bedrooms in the evening. You should also consider the size of your bedroom to ensure that you can fit the crib in comfortably. Many cribs come with a riser which can be used to create an inclined position for babies who suffer from reflux.

Anna discovered that the CoZee could provide a safe, cozy sleeping place for her baby. She was delighted that it didn't rock like some other models, which meant it didn't wake her at night while she was trying to soothe her baby during feedings.

It can be adjusted up and down and slides through three positions to fit next to the bed of the parent, or in the corner of the room, to ensure that your baby is within arm's reach.
