What is a bedside cot?

A twin bedside cot crib, also known as a bassinet, or co sleeper bedside cot-sleeper, is a small baby cot that is attached to an adult bed. This allows your baby to sleep with you in safety. This is a safe form of co-sleeping that doesn't increase the risk of SIDS, like bedsharing. It also helps you bond with the newborn baby.

These cots have one side that can be lowered to allow you to reach your baby easily in the nighttime to comfort them and feed them. This is particularly helpful for mothers recovering from a c-section. Many are portable or foldable making them suitable to travel or as an interim solution for babies who aren't ready to move into a full-sized crib.

Look for a crib with an air-conditioned mattress, as well as an extra-safe cover that will protect your baby from stains. You may also want to purchase baby-safe items such as the blanket or teether.

If you're looking for a long-term alternative, some cribs are equipped with conversion kits that allow you to transform them into a cot or toddler bed at the time of need. This will prolong their life and make the transition easier. Some even have a removable top section that converts into a bassinet, while others can be used on the regular or high-rise adult bed. This is an excellent choice for families that plan to frequently travel or switch between bedrooms in the evening. Take into consideration the dimensions of your room to ensure you fit comfortably in the crib. Many cribs have risers that can be added to create an incline for babies with reflux.
