A baby bedside cot (or next-to-me crib) is a bassinet cot that fixes to the bed's side and allows you to reach over and comfort your baby without needing to get out of bed. Some models have an incline feature to ease reflux.

Remember to only sleep with your child in a bassinet, crib or bedside baby bed crib if the mattress is flat and firm to decrease the chance of suffocation.

Cot

A bedside cot called a co-sleeper, or bassinet is a great way for your baby to sleep close to you for the first few months. The cots are designed to sit right next to your bed, so that you can easily bring your baby closer to feed them at night, or to soothe them to sleep. These are also perfect for mothers who just had a c-section.

There are many models available, but the Arm's Reach Clear-Vue is one that stands out. This is shaped like a compact play yard and has four sides that are two long and can be dropped down out of the way (secured by Velcro) to allow you easy access to your baby's feeds.

The Baby Hug 4 In 1 Air is a different option. It also comes with a drop down side and can be converted into a recliner. This is a great choice for infants to toddlers and provides you with the flexibility to change the position your baby sleeps in as they become more mobile.

It's important to note that although bassinets can be utilized as an alternative to traditional cots however, Red Nose strongly suggests that you sleep your baby in their own cot from birth to six months. This is due to SIDS risk is significantly higher when babies share beds, especially with adults, and also because it's unsafe to allow an infant to sleep in a bassinet which doesn't meet mandatory Australian safety standards.

Cots, on the other hand are safer than bassinets due to having fixed heights that eliminate an opening between your child's mattress and an adult bed. They're also typically larger, which means they can be converted to full-size and toddler beds as your baby grows - which can save you money in the long term.

When shopping for a crib for your baby, it's important to consider your budget and the dimensions of your nursery or bedroom when you select a model. Keep in mind that cots can be more expensive than bassinets but they can be an investment that can last for many years and can be utilized by your child as he or develops.

It's important to remember that you'll require a mattress for your baby's cot or bedside crib with changing table crib. It's vital that the mattress is flat, firm and airy to allow your baby to have a restful night's sleep and lower the chance of developing pressure sores or breathing problems. Be cautious of mattresses that are second-hand since they can increase the risk of SIDS. Be sure to look for one that has been endorsed by the CPSC and complies with the most current guidelines.
