A Baby bedside crib (perchsilk35.bravejournal.net) (or next-to-me crib) is a bassinet type crib that is attached to the mattress's side. This lets you reach your baby and comfort your child without getting up from your mattress. Some models also have an incline function to aid in relieving reflux.

You should only place your baby to sleep in a crib or bassinet if the mattress is firm and flat. This will lower the chance of him dying.

Cot

A bedside rocking crib cot, also known as a co-sleeper or bassinet, is a great way to let your baby rest close to you for the first few months. The cots are made to fit close to your bed so that you can lift your baby towards you to feed them at night, or to soothe them to sleep. These are also ideal for mothers who have recently had a c-section.

There are a number of different models available however, one that stands out is the Arm's Reach Clear-Vue. It is designed as a play yard and has four sides that are two long and can be dropped away (secured with Velcro) to provide easy access to your baby for those middle-of-the-night feeds.

Red Nose recommends that your baby sleep in their own cot between the time of birth and six months. This is due to the risk of SIDS is significantly greater when babies share beds, especially with adults, and also because it's unsafe to allow an infant to sleep in a bassinet which doesn't meet the mandatory Australian safety standards.

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

It is important to consider your budget and the size of your bedroom or nursery when selecting a model. Keep in mind that cots can be more expensive than bassinets but they can be an excellent investment since they will last for a long time and be used by your child as he or grows.

It's also important to remember that you'll require a mattress for your baby's crib or bedside travel crib. It's crucial that the mattress is flat, firm and ventilated to help your baby get a good night's sleep and decrease the risk of developing pressure sores or breathing problems. Mattresses used in second-hand stores can increase the risk of SIDS in your child. Look for a brand that is endorsed by the CPSC that adheres to current guidelines. Be cautious not to over-stuff the crib or use duvets or pillows, bumpers, or baby positioners. They could be a suffocation risk. A comfortable, airy mattress for your baby must support the spine. You can find a range of baby mattresses online, from budget options to more luxurious brands. If you're unsure, visit the store and try it out for yourself.
