A fitted sheet that is sized to fit your mattress is an excellent idea along with a nappy-changing kit with a waterproof cover. You can find all these items on the internet and at stores that specialize in baby products. Do not use second-hand or hand-me-down products. They may have been recalls, damaged or do not meet the safety standards.

A high-quality bedside crib is easy to set up and will be removed to store. Some models have adjustable incline positions, which make it easier for babies to sleep in a raised position or for parents suffering from reflux. Some models come with a bag for travel so you can easily pack them up and take them on a excursion.

They're easy to clean

Bedside cots are easy to clean, particularly with the right products. Remove any bedding like sheets, blankets or a cuddly toy, and wash them according to the manufacturer's instructions. Then, vacuum the cot and its mattress, paying special attention to corners and crevices. Mattress protectors can help to reduce the accumulation of dust mites, bacteria, and other germs.

Next, use a soft cloth that has been soaked in a baby-safe cleaning spray or a natural stain remover spray to wipe down the cot. Always dampen a new cloth to get rid of soapy residues and keep the cot clean. Use a soft scrub brush to get rid of staining from the mattress. Baking soda can be used to eliminate any lingering odors. Always test a small portion of the mattress first to ensure that the cleaning product is safe for your baby.

It is easier to clean and sanitize the cot once it is disassembled. You can even use a solution of warm water and mild baby-safe detergent to wash the mattress and its protector.

If the cot is constructed out of wood, you can sanitise it with a mixture of warm water and white vinegar. This natural disinfectant kills bacteria without damaging the wood or leaving harmful residues. Take a small sample of wood to ensure it isn't damaged. Then apply the solution using a soft cloth and let it to dry before putting it back together.

They are easy to move

A bedside crib can also be known as a bedside basset or co-sleeper. It allows your baby to sleep right next to your bed. These cribs are small and portable, making it easy to move from room to room as required. They're also a great choice for those with limited space at home or if you're planning to travel with your child.

Bedside cribs, unlike standard baby beds are designed to attach on the sides of your mattress so that you can easily raise and lower your baby to feed them at night or soothe. They typically come with a removable or drop-down side that is ideal for easy lifting, as well as adjustable heights and tilt options. Some cribs even convert into full cribs when your child gets older, providing you with extra longevity and value.

Our mom testers are enthralled by the lightweight and portable nature of these sleeping solutions, making them perfect for travel. One mom says, "It is small and compact, so it can be easily transported around the house and easily fit in a bag." "My husband can carry it up and down the stairs without difficulty."

The Shnuggle Air next to the crib is another lightweight option which was shortlisted in 2021's Best Cot Crib, Crib or Moses Basket category at the Mother&Baby awards. Another mom, Gulhan Arapoglu, agrees it's lightweight and feels it's strong too. She adds that it is a little bigger than other cradles for bed and is not recommended for infants that might roll or flip.

You'll be comfortable

The best bedside cribs allow newborns to sleep close to their parents however, they have their own sleeping space. They're typically more compact than a Moses Basket or standard cots and can be folded up and put away when not being used. They're also easier to reach when it comes to night feedings, changing nappies and relaxing. This makes them perfect for new mothers recovering from a c-section as they don't have to bend down as much to care for their baby during the night.


The crib is also a good choice for parents who are worried about the dangers associated with co-sleeping. This is due to the fact that the crib is located closer to the parent's bed and has a lower risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) than co-sleeping in a regular bassinet or cot. This kind of safe co-sleeping is called rooming in and is a vital part of a baby's early development.

You can also purchase a wide range of different bedsides, some of which include the option of a portable mattress that you can take with you when travelling and others that convert into a separate baby cot or toddler bed. Some even have incline positions, which can be great for babies with reflux. You can also find a crib that can be attached to the parent’s bed, or has locking wheels. This will stop the crib from being moved by accident when the baby is sleeping.

If you're looking for sleeping in a bed, it's worth choosing one with a sturdy and breathable baby mattress to ensure your baby's safety. We recommend mattresses made of foam that are covered with a soft and sturdy cover. This will ensure that your baby is comfy and warm during their sleep.

You can also find some bedsides that are simple to collapse and slide down which is a fantastic feature for those sleepy 3am feeds. The Joie Roomie Glide, which was shortlisted in the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards for Best Cot, Crib or Moses Basket, is an example of a bedside cot that's super-easy to lower. It's also compact enough to fit in a bag for travel, which is a bonus for parents who are always who are always on the move.
