A baby bedside cot used cot (or next-to-me crib) is a bassinet cot for bedside that fixes to the side of your bed, allowing you to reach out and comfort your baby without needing to get up. Some models come with an inclined feature that helps relieve reflux.

Cot

A foldable bedside crib cot, sometimes called a co-sleeper or bassinet, is an excellent option for your baby to sleep close to you for the first few months. The cots are designed to fit next to your bed to allow you to easily lift your baby towards you to feed them at night, or to soothe them to sleep. They're also great for mothers recovering from an C-section.

There are many models available however the Arm's Reach Clear-Vue is one that stands out. This play area is compact and is made up of four sides. Two of the sides are long and can be lowered out of the way with Velcro, allowing you to easily reach your baby's nighttime feedings.

The Baby Hug 4 In 1 Air is a different alternative. It also has a drop down side and can be converted into recliner. This is a great option for infants and toddlers and gives you the flexibility to alter your baby's sleeping position as they grow.

It's important to note that although a bassinet can be used as an alternative to traditional cots however, Red Nose strongly suggests sleeping your baby in their own cot from the time of birth until six months. This is because SIDS risk is significantly higher when babies share beds, particularly with adults, and because it's not safe for an infant to sleep in a bassinet that does not meet the mandatory Australian safety standards.

Cots are more secure than bassinets as they have a fixed height that guarantees there's no gap between your baby's bed and the adult bed. They're also generally larger, which means they can be converted into toddler and full-size beds as your baby grows, which could save you money in the long term.

It is important to consider your budget and the dimensions of your nursery or bedroom when selecting a model. Keep in mind that cot beds are likely to be more expensive than bassinets however they can be an excellent investment as they last for years and can be used as your baby moves from infancy into adulthood and beyond.

You'll also require an appropriate mattress for your cot or crib. The mattress should be flat, firm, and breathable for your baby to get a good sleep and reduce the chance of developing breathing problems or pressure sores. Be wary of second-hand mattresses because they could increase the risk of your child developing SIDS, so make sure you choose a brand that's been approved by the CPSC and adheres to the most current guidelines. Be cautious not to overload the crib, or use duvets or pillows, bumpers or baby slings. They could be the risk of suffocation. A comfortable, airy mattress for your baby should be able to support the spine. There are a variety of mattresses for babies online, from budget options to more expensive brands. If you're not sure, visit a store and try some out for yourself.
