Bedside Cot Bed

A bedside crib and travel cot crib (also called a bassinet or a side sleeper) is attached to the parent's bed to allow safe co-sleeping. It allows you to easily reach your baby's bed for feeding and comforting at night, without disrupting your sleep.

It is crucial to make sure that the crib is anchored securely and regularly checked for any gaps that could create a suffocation hazard. Some cribs can be transformed into cots for your baby by using conversion kits.

Safety

Bedside cribs are similar to bassinets for babies, but they attach to the mattress you already have instead of sitting on the ground.

They are also an important component of safe cosleeping, or rooming in.

You'll need to select the cot mattress that fits snugly into the bed of your cot, whether you choose to use an adjustable bed or a sliding one.

Most bedside co sleeper cot cot beds are equipped with mesh that is securely fixed to the sides of the cot to minimize the possibility of a child being trapped or entangled in the gaps. Make sure to regularly inspect the mesh to find tears or loose threads that could entangle or catch the baby's clothing. Also, ensure that there are no other dangers such as the protruding handles or bars which could cause your infant to get out of bed.
