The Biggest Issue With Small Bedside Cot, And How You Can Fix It A Small Bedside Cot That Attaches to Your Adult Bed    If you want to keep baby as close as you can at night, without having to get out of bed, a bedside crib is the ideal solution. The breathable fabric allows you to easily see your baby and they're incredibly easy to lower for those tired 3am feedings.    Some double as a moses's basket.      What is a bedside crib?    A bedside crib, also referred to as a bassinet or co-sleeper, is a small baby cot that is attached to an adult bed. This allows your newborn to sleep right next to you in safety. This is a type of co-sleeping that is safe and doesn't increase the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) like bedsharing, and can help you build a bond with your baby's new arrival.    These cots have a side which can be lowered so that you can reach your baby easily in the nighttime to comfort them and feed them. This is especially helpful for mothers who are recovering from a c section. Many of them are foldable or portable making them suitable to travel or as an interim solution for infants that aren't yet ready to be able to transition into a full-sized crib.    Choose a crib that has an air-conditioned mattress, as well as a protective cover that will keep your baby safe from stains. You should also buy baby-safe items such as a blanket and cuddly toys.    If you're looking for a longer-term solution Some cribs have conversion kits that let you convert them into a toddler bed or a cot when the time is right. This will prolong their life and make the transition easier. Some models have a removable portion at the top that can be turned into a bassinet. Other models can be used with either a regular adult bed or a high-rise bed. This is a great option for families who plan on frequently traveling or switching rooms during the night. Take into consideration the dimensions of your bedroom to ensure that you fit comfortably in the crib. Many cribs come with an adjustable riser that can be used to create an inclined position for infants who suffer from reflux.    The Joie Roomie Glide    Famous for their high-end baby products, English brand Joie has entered the world of bedside cribs with the Roomie Glide.

This gentle rhythm can soothe your baby into sleep without disrupting their natural sleep patterns. This is ideal for toddlers and older babies who are struggling to settle. It can also help with digestion problems such as colic and reflux.    The crib can be locked into place once the rocking is finished to stop it from moving and can also be secured to the side of your bed with clips and straps. This makes it very stable and secure, allowing you to get a good night's sleep without having to worry about your baby rolling off into the middle of the room.

This makes it easier to clean than bedside cribs that can be messy to clean. It also has an upper bar that is easily lowered for nighttime feeds without needing to search for zips in the dark.    Anna found that the CoZee was a safe and comfortable sleeping space for her infant. It was a pleasure to not move like other models, so she wasn't disturbed at night while trying to soothe her child during feedings. She also liked the fact that the side could be lowered so she didn't need to reach out over her partner to pull the baby for night time feeds.    The CoZee comes in charcoal or oak and is a chic accessory to any bedroom. It's more stylish than other cribs we've tried that are usually utilitarian. It's also quite light at 11kg, and comes with a carry-on case so you can bring it with you on vacation or when you are moving home. The only things you'll have to purchase are a waterproof cover and a safety strap for co-sleeping. The instructions and pictures are easy to follow once you open the box.    The Maxi-Cosi Lora    The Iora is a bedside bassinet that helps parents feel connected to their infant as they sleep. It adjusts up and down and can be moved through three slide positions to be placed next to the bed of the parent or in the corner of the room, to ensure that your baby is within arm's reach. The mesh siding lets air flow through and allows you to see your baby easily. You can also put away additional pajamas or other items in the large basket underneath.    The Iora is a smaller bedside crib that can fold flat. It also comes with a travel case which allows it to be taken anywhere. It was easy to move around from room to room and our mum testers felt it was the perfect size for a bedside crib. They also liked the large storage basket perfect for storing spare bedding or nappies.    This is a great option for parents who want to sleep together, but don't wish to share their bed. Also, if one of the parents has mobility issues like back pain or arthritis. bedside cot co sleeper who tested it loved the ease with which they could access their baby in the Iora and that it had an adjustable reflux incline that helped to reduce gas.    Our mums are thrilled that the mattress adheres to NICE guidelines. They recommend placing an infant in a Moses basket or crib on its own without blankets, toys, pillows etc. The mattress is also sturdy and comfortable for the baby and sheets are readily available. It isn't as light as the other smaller bedside cribs, though and if you're looking for something lighter and more portable, look at other options in our list.
