A bedside crib (also called a co-sleeper or bassinet) is a small baby crib that can be attached to your adult bed, allowing your baby to sleep safely next to you.

The cots come with an end that can be lowered so that you can reach your baby easily at night to comfort and feed them. This is particularly useful for mothers recovering from a csection. Many of them are portable or foldable making them suitable to travel or as a temporary solution for newborns that aren't yet ready to transition into a full-sized crib.

You'll also want to pick up some baby-safe add-ons like a blanket, teether and a cuddly toy.

This is a great way to extend their life and making the transition easier. Some have a removable section at the top that can be transformed into a bassinet. Other models can be used with either a regular adult bed or a high-rise model. This is a good choice for families who plan on traveling frequently or switching between bedrooms throughout the night.
