cot bedside (or next-to-me crib) is a bassinet-style cot that can be attached to the side of your bed which allows you to reach out and soothe your baby without needing to get out of bed. Some models come with an incline feature to relieve reflux.

It is best to put your baby in a crib or bassinet when the mattress is firm and flat. This will decrease the risk of him suffocating.

Cot

Bedside cots, sometimes referred to as bassinets or co-sleepers, are a great way to keep your baby close to your during the beginning of their first few months. They're designed to sit close to your bed which means you can easily pull your baby out towards you for night-time feeding or gently lulling them back to sleep. They are also great for mothers who just had a c section.

There are a variety of different models available however one that stands out is the Arm's Reach Clear-Vue. It's shaped as a play yard and has four sides with two of them long and can be lowered down out of the way (secured by Velcro) to give you easy access to your baby for those middle-of-the-night feeds.

Another option is the Baby Hug 4 In 1 Air that also comes with an adjustable side that can be converted into a recliner. This is a great option for infants to toddlers and gives you the flexibility to alter the position your baby sleeps in as they grow.

It's worth noting that while a bassinet can be utilized as an alternative to traditional cots however, Red Nose strongly recommends sleeping your infant in their crib from birth until six months. This is because the risk of SIDS is increased when babies sleep with their parents.

Cots are generally safer than bassinets as they have a fixed height that will ensure there is no gap between the baby's mattress and the adult bed. Cots are generally larger and can be converted into toddler or full-size beds when your baby grows. This can save you money.


When you are looking for a crib for your baby it is essential to consider your budget and the dimensions of your nursery or bedroom when choosing a cot. Keep in mind that cot beds are likely to be more expensive than bassinets however they are a great investment, as they last for years and can be used as your child transitions from infanthood to the age of childhood and beyond.

It's important to remember that you'll need a baby mattress for your crib or bedside. It's essential that the mattress is firm, flat and breathable to help your baby get a good night's rest and lower the chance of developing pressure sores or breathing problems. Mattresses used in second-hand stores can increase the risk of SIDS in your child. Choose a mattress approved by the CPSC that complies with current guidelines. Be cautious not to over-stuff the crib or use duvets, bumpers, pillows or baby slings. They could create the risk of suffocation. A firm, breathable mattress for your baby should be able to support the spine. There are a variety of mattresses for babies online, ranging from budget-friendly options to more expensive brands. If you are unsure you can test them in a store.
