A baby bedside cot (or next-to-me crib) is a bassinet cot that can be attached to the bed's side and allows you to reach over and soothe your baby without needing to get out of bed. Some models also come with an incline function that can assist in relieving reflux.

You should only place your baby to sleep in a bassinet or crib in a mattress that is firm and flat. This will lower the chance of him dying.

Cot

bedside cot co sleeper 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. The cots are designed to sit close to your bed so that you can bring your baby closer to feed them at night or soothe them back to sleep. These are also ideal for mothers who just had a c section.

There are a variety of models to choose from and the Arm's reach Clear-Vue stands out. The play yard is compact and is made up of four sides. Two of them are long and may be lowered out of the way using Velcro so that you can easily reach your baby during those nighttime feedings.

The Baby Hug 4 In 1 Air is a different alternative. It also has a drop-down side and can be transformed into a recliner. This is a great option for infants to toddlers and allows you to change your baby's sleeping position as they grow.

Red Nose suggests that your child sleep in their own cot between birth and six months. This is because SIDS risk is significantly higher when babies share beds, particularly with adults, and also because it's not safe for an infant to sleep in a bassinet that does not meet the mandatory Australian safety standards.

Cots are usually 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. They're also generally 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.

It is important to take into account your budget and the size of your nursery or bedroom when selecting a model. Be aware that cots are more expensive than bassinets, but they can be an investment that can last for a long time and be utilized by your child as she grows.

It's also worth remembering that you'll require a baby mattress for your bedside crib or cot. The mattress should be flat, firm, and breathable for your baby to get a restful night and reduce the chance of developing breathing problems or pressure sores. Be wary of second-hand mattresses as these may increase the risk of SIDS, and make sure you select an approved brand by the CPSC and adheres to the most recent guidelines. Be careful not to over-stuff your crib or use duvets, pillows, bumpers or baby positioners - they could pose the risk of suffocation. A comfortable, airy 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're not sure, visit a store and try some out for yourself.
