Baby bedside crib and travel cot Cot

A baby bedside crib (or next-to me crib) is a bassinet type crib that is attached to the mattress's side. This lets you be able to reach your baby and comfort him without having to get up from your mattress. Some models come with an inclined feature to relieve reflux.

You should only put your baby in a bassinet or crib if the mattress is firm and flat. This will reduce the risk of him suffocating.

Cot

A bedside crib with wheels cot, sometimes called a co-sleeper, or bassinet, is an excellent way to let your baby sleep with you for the first few months. The cots are designed to sit right next to your bed, so that you can bring your baby closer to feed them at night or help soothe them to sleep. They're also perfect for moms recovering from the c-section.

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

Another option is the Baby Hug 4 In 1 Air, which also has a drop-down side and can be converted into recliner. This is a fantastic option for babies and toddlers. It provides you with the flexibility to alter the position of your baby's sleep as they develop.

It's important to note that, while bassinets can be used as an alternative to a traditional cot however, Red Nose strongly recommends sleeping your baby in their own best bedside cot from birth to six months. This is due to the fact that the risk of SIDS rises when babies are in bed with adults.

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

It is important to consider your budget and the size of your nursery or bedroom when selecting a model. Remember that cots are more expensive than bassinets but they can be an excellent investment since they will last for a long time and can be used by your child as he or she grows.

You'll also need an appropriate mattress for your cot or crib. It's essential that the mattress is flat, firm and breathable to help your baby have a restful night's sleep and decrease the risk of developing pressure sores or breathing problems. Be wary of second-hand mattresses because they could increase your child's risk of SIDS, and make sure to look for a brand that's been approved by the CPSC and complies with the most current guidelines. Also, be cautious not to over-stuff your bedside rocking crib or use pillows, duvets bumpers, or baby positioners which could create a suffocation hazard. A breathable baby mattress must be sturdy enough to support your baby's spine. Online, you can find many baby mattresses, from budget-friendly options to luxury brands. If you're not sure you can test them in the store.
