What is a bedside crib?

A bedside crib (also known as bassinet or co-sleeper) is a small baby cot that attaches to your adult bed, allowing your infant to sleep in a safe environment with you. This is a type of co-sleeping in a safe manner that doesn't increase the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) similar to bedsharing and can help you bond with your new arrival.

They usually come with a side that can be adjusted so that you can easily reach your infant during the night for feeding and comforting. This is especially helpful for mothers who are recovering from a csection. Many of them are foldable or portable, so you can take them on your travels and use them as a temporary sleep option for babies who aren't quite ready to move into a cot that is full size.

Look for a crib with an air-conditioned mattress, as well as an appropriate cover to protect your baby from staining. It is also advisable to purchase baby-safe accessories like a blanket, teether and a cuddly toys.

If you're looking for a longer-term alternative, some cribs are equipped with conversion kits that allow you to turn them into a cot, or a toddler bed at the time of need. This is a great way to extend their life span and making the transition smoother. Some have a removable top section that can be converted into a bassinet, while others can be used on either an ordinary or high-rise adult bed. This is a great option for families who plan on frequently traveling or switching between bedrooms during the night. Consider the dimensions of your bedroom to ensure you be able to fit in the crib comfortably. A lot of cribs have an adjustable riser that can be used to create an inclined position for babies who suffer from reflux.

Anna found the CoZee to be a safe, comfortable place to sleep for her infant. She loved that it didn't rock like other models, which meant it wasn't waking her in the night when she was trying to comfort her baby during feeds.

The Maxi-Cosi Lora

The Iora is a bedside co sleeper bassinet that helps parents feel closer to their infant while they sleep. It adjusts up and down and moves through three slide positions to fit next to the bed of the parent, or in the corner of the room, so that the baby is always close to the parent's side.

As opposed to other 4-in-1 bedside crib crib options The Iora can be folded flat and comes with a bag for travel to allow it to be taken anywhere. It was easy to move around from room to room and our mum testers felt it was the perfect size for a bedside crib. The large storage basket is great for storing extra bedding or nappies.

This is a great option for parents who want to co-sleep, but don't wish to share their beds or whose partner may have mobility issues, like arthritis or back issues. Our mums who tested it were thrilled to be able to easily access their child in the Iora and that it included an adjustable reflux incline that helped alleviate gas.

Our mums also love the fact that it complies with NICE guidelines which state that you should place the baby in a crib or Moses basket on its own (with no blankets, toys, pillows, etc). They also state that the mattress is firm and comfortable for babies and is easy to find sheets for. It's not as light as the other cribs that are smaller however, so if you want something lighter and easier to move around, look at alternatives on our list.
