A bedside crib vs cot cot, also known as a co-sleeper or bassinet is a great option for your baby to sleep with you during the first few months. They're made to fit beside your bed, so you can lift your child up toward you for feeding at night or soothing them back to sleep. These are also ideal for mothers who just had a c-section.

There are a range of models available and the Arm's reach Clear-Vue is one that stands out. This is shaped like a small play area and has four sides that are two long and can be dropped to the ground (secured with Velcro) to allow you easy access to your baby for those middle-of-the-night feeds.

The Baby Hug 4 In 1 Air is another alternative. It also has an adjustable side that can be transformed into recliner. This is a great option for infants to toddlers and allows you to alter your baby's sleeping position as they develop.

Red Nose recommends that your baby sleep in their own cot between birth and six months. This is because the risk of SIDS is increased when babies sleep in beds with adults.

Cots are usually safer than bassinets as they are fixed in height that guarantees there's no gap between your baby's bed and the adult bed. They're also usually larger, meaning they can be converted into full-size or toddler beds as your baby grows - saving you money in the long run.

It is essential to take into account your budget and the dimensions of your nursery or bedroom when deciding on a bed. Be aware that cot beds are likely to be more expensive than bassinets, but are a great investment as they last for a long time and can be used as your child transitions from infanthood to the age of childhood and beyond.

It's also worth remembering that you'll need a baby mattress for your crib or bedside cots. The mattress must be flat, firm, and breathable for your baby to get a restful night and reduce the risk of developing breathing issues or pressure sores. Be wary of second-hand mattresses since they can increase the risk of SIDS, so make sure to look for an approved brand by the CPSC and adheres to the most current guidelines. Also, be cautious not to overload your crib or use duvets, pillows, bumpers or baby positioners which could create the risk of suffocation. A breathable baby mattress must be sufficient in firmness to be able to support your baby's back. On the internet, you can locate a variety of baby mattresses, from budget-friendly alternatives to luxurious brands. If you're not sure, go to the store and try it out for yourself.
