A baby bedside cot (or next-to-me crib) is a bassinet-style crib that is attached to the bed's side, allowing you to reach over and comfort your baby without having to get out of bed. Some models come with an incline feature that helps relieve reflux.

Be aware that you should only sleep with your child in a bassinet, crib or bedside crib in the event that the mattress is firm and flat to decrease the chance of being suffocated.

Cot

A travel bedside crib cot, sometimes known as a co-sleeper or bassinet, is an excellent way to let your baby rest close to you in the early months. The cots are designed to fit right next to your bed, so that you can lift your baby towards you to feed them at night or help soothe them back to sleep. They're also great for mothers recovering from a C-section.

There are a variety of different models on the market, but one that stands out is the Arm's Reach Clear-Vue. This is shaped as a play yard and has four sides, two of which are long and can be lowered to the ground (secured with Velcro) to allow you easy access to your baby's feeds.

Another option is the Baby Hug 4 In 1 Air that also comes with an adjustable side that can be turned into recliner. This is an excellent choice for toddlers and infants and allows you to alter your baby's sleeping position as they grow.

It's worth noting that while a bassinet can be used in lieu of a traditional cot, Red Nose strongly recommends sleeping your baby in their own cot from the time of birth until six months. This is due to SIDS risk is significantly greater when babies share beds, especially with adults, and because it's dangerous to allow an infant to sleep in a bassinet which doesn't meet mandatory Australian safety standards.

Cots are more secure than bassinets because they have a fixed height that guarantees there's no gap between your baby's bed and the adult bed. Cots tend to be larger and can be converted into full-size or toddler beds when your baby grows. This can save you money.

When you are looking for a baby bedside cot it is essential to consider your budget and the size of your nursery or bedroom when you select a model. Keep in mind that cot beds tend to be more expensive than bassinets, but can be an excellent investment, as they last for years and can be used as your child grows from infant to adulthood and beyond.

It's important to remember that you'll need a mattress for your baby's bedside crib or cot. It's crucial that the mattress is flat, firm and airy to allow your baby to get a good night's rest and decrease the risk of developing pressure sores or breathing problems. Second-hand mattresses could increase your child's SIDS risk. Choose a mattress that is endorsed by the CPSC that is in line with current guidelines. Also, be cautious not to over-stuff your crib or use duvets, pillows bumpers, baby positioners or bumpers - they could pose the risk of suffocation. A comfortable, firm mattress for your baby should be able to support the spine. You can find a wide selection of mattresses for babies on the internet, from budget choices to more luxurious brands. If you are unsure you can test them in the store.
