What is a bedside crib?

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

They usually have a side that is able to be adjusted so that you can easily reach your baby during the night for feeding and comforting. This is particularly useful for mothers recovering from a c section. Many are portable or foldable so you can use them to travel or as an interim solution for babies who aren't quite ready to transition to a larger crib.

Look for a crib with an air-conditioned mattress, as well as an appropriate cover to keep your baby safe from stains. You may also want to purchase some baby-safe accessories like an infant blanket or a teether.

This is a great way to extend their life span and making the transition easier. Some models have a removable portion at the top that can be transformed into an infant bed. Others can be used with a regular adult bed or a high-rise model. This is a great option for families who intend to travel frequently or switch between bedrooms in the evening. Take into consideration the dimensions of your room to ensure that you fit comfortably in the crib. A lot of cribs have an incline that can be added to create an incline for babies who have reflux.
