What is a bedside crib?

A bedside crib (also known as bassinet or co-sleeper) is a small infant cot that attaches to your adult bed, allowing your baby to sleep comfortably next to you. This is a type of safe co-sleeping that does not increase the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) like bedsharing, and can help you bond with your new arrival.

These cots have an end that can be adjusted so that you can reach your baby easily in the nighttime to comfort them and feed them. This is especially helpful for mothers recovering from a csection. Many are also portable or foldable, so you can take them on trips and use them as a sleeping solution for infants who aren't quite ready to move into a cot that is full size.

When you are looking for a crib to sleep in, look for a model that has a breathable mattress and a protective cover to shield your infant from staining. You'll also want to pick up some baby-safe add-ons such as a blanket, a teether and cuddly toys.

This is a good choice for families that plan on traveling frequently or switching between bedrooms during the night.

Anna discovered the CoZee to provide a safe, comfortable place to sleep for her baby. It was a pleasure to not move like other models so she wasn't disturbed at night while trying to comfort her child during feedings.
