What is a bedside cot?
A bedside crib (also called a bassinet or co-sleeper) is a small baby cot that attaches to your adult bed, allowing your baby to sleep safely next to you. This is a secure form of co-sleeping, which doesn't increase the risk of SIDS as bedsharing does. It can also help you bond with the new baby.
The cots usually have a side that can be lowered, so you can easily reach your infant throughout the night for feeding and comforting. This is particularly helpful for mothers who are recovering from an op. Many of them are portable or foldable, so you can take them on trips and use them as a sleeping option for babies who aren't yet ready to move to a full-sized cot.
When you are looking for a crib to sleep in Look for a crib that has a breathable mattress and a cover to shield your infant from stains. You should also purchase baby-safe accessories such as a blanket and a soft toy.
If you're looking for a long-term option, some cribs have conversion kits that allow you to convert them into a cot or toddler bed when the time comes. This is great for extending their life and making the transition smoother. Some even have a removable top section that can be converted into a bassinet, and some can be used on either the regular or high-rise adult bed. This is a great option for families that intend to frequently travel or switch between bedrooms at night. You should also think about how big your bedroom is to ensure that you can fit the crib in comfortably. A lot of cribs have an adjustable riser that can be used to create an inclined position for babies who suffer from reflux.

The crib can also be affixed to the side of the bed by an attachment strap and clip.

Anna found that the CoZee was a comfortable and safe sleeping space for her infant. She was pleased that it didn't rock like some other models, so it wasn't waking her in the night when she was trying to comfort her baby during feeds. She also loved that the sides of the chair could be lowered so she didn't have to reach over her partner to carry the child out to feed them at night.
bedside rocking crib CoZee comes in oak or charcoal and is a stylish option for any bedroom. It's more of a designer piece than some of the other cribs we've tested, and can appear rather utilitarian.

The Maxi-Cosi Lora
The Iora is a bedside bassinet that allows parents to feel more connected to their infant while they sleep. It can be adjusted up and down and shifted through three different slide positions to fit under the bed of the parent or in the corner to ensure that the infant is always within reach. The mesh siding is breathable, allowing air to circulate through and gives you a quick glance at your little one. And you can store additional pajamas and other items in the large storage basket beneath.
The Iora is a smaller bedside crib that folds flat. It also comes with a travel case which allows it to be taken anywhere. Our mom testers were able to move it from room to room, and believed that it was a good size for a small bedside cot that was not too big or small. They also liked the large storage basket, that is ideal for storing spare bedding or nappies.
This is a great choice for parents who want to sleep in a co-sleeping bed, but don't wish to share their bed. Or if one of the partners has mobility issues, such as back pain or arthritis. Our mom testers were thrilled to be able to easily access their baby while in the Iora and that it included an option to have a reflux incline which helped alleviate gas.
Our moms also love the fact that it complies with NICE guidelines, which are to place the baby in a crib or Moses basket on its own (with no blankets, toys pillows, etc.). They also state that the mattress is comfortable and firm for babies and is easy to find sheets for. It isn't as light as the other cribs that are smaller, though and if you're looking for something lighter and easier to move around, consider one of the other options on our list.
