What NOT To Do Within The Best Bedside Cot Industry
The Best Bedside Cot
The cribs are designed to be placed at your bedside they allow you to get your baby in at 3 am for feedings at night or nappy changes. These cribs are also an excellent alternative to a Moses Basket.
The Lullaby Trust, NHS and other experts in safe sleep recommend that babies sleep in a crib away from your bed. This will reduce the risk of suffocation as well as overheating. This cosy option was a popular choice among our mom testers. It has a gliding motion that helps to calm babies back to sleep.
1. Joie Roomie Glide
The Roomie Glide bedside cot is an innovative product made by English brand Joie. It was designed to allow you to sleep with your partner without sharing the bed.

Roanna loved the cotbed and said it was "a top-quality purchase". She liked that the gliding motion was gentle and lulled her to sleep. She also thought the design was stylish and suggested that it would look great in most bedrooms. However, she pointed out that although it's a great choice for babies, once they're six months old you will need to buy them an additional cot.
She also appreciated that the side panel that slides could be lowered by one hand, so she could quickly answer alarms from her bed to feed or soothe her little ones. Another plus point was the fact that the Roomie Glide has 11 height adjustments so it can be adjusted to nearly any size bed, and it comes with clips and straps that can be used to secure it securely.

5. Clair de Lune
The third movement of Claude Debussy's 1890 Suite bergamasque"Clair de Lune" (French for moonlight) is inspired by Paul Verlaine's romantic poem, and conveys a dreamy sense of a sunlit Italian small town. It is also an ideal fit into Twilight in which Edward Cullen has it on his stereo as he seduces Bella and stares at Bella with that lusty vampire. It's a romantic melodrama for sure however the music is great.
Mike Mills adapted this piece for his 2009 film C'mon C'mon. In the film, it is not performed by a piano player, but by the San Francisco Saxophone Quartet.
