A baby travel bedside crib cot (or next-to-me crib) is a bassinet-style travel cot bedside that is attached to the side of your bed, allowing you to reach out and soothe your baby without having to get up. Some models also have an incline function that can help relieve reflux.
You should only place your baby to sleep in a bassinet or crib if the mattress is firm and flat. This will decrease the possibility of him being suffocated.

A twin bedside cot cot, sometimes called a co-sleeper, or bassinet is a great way to let your baby sleep with you for the first few months. The cots are designed to fit right next to your bed, so that you can carry your baby to you to feed them at night or soothe them to sleep. They're also perfect for moms recovering from a C-section.
There are a number of different models available however one that stands out is the Arm's Reach Clear-Vue. The play yard is compact and has four sides. Two of them are long and can be lowered out of the way by Velcro to allow you to easily access your baby during those nighttime feedings.
Another alternative is the Baby Hug 4 In 1 Air, which also has an adjustable side that can be converted into a recliner. This is a great choice for babies and toddlers. It allows you to alter your baby's sleeping position as they grow.
Red Nose recommends that your baby sleep in their own cot from the time of birth and six months. This is because the risk of SIDS increases when babies sleep with their parents.
Cots are more secure than bassinets as they are fixed in height that ensures there's no gap between the baby's mattress and the adult bed. Cots are usually larger and can be converted into toddler or full-size beds when your baby grows. This can save you money.
When looking for a new baby bedside travel crib cot it is important to think about your budget and the size of your bedroom or nursery when you select a model. Keep in mind that cot beds are likely to be more expensive than bassinets however they are a great investment since they last for years and can be used as your baby moves from infancy into childhood and beyond.
It's also worth remembering that you'll need a mattress for your baby's bedside crib or cot. The mattress must be firm, flat and breathable for your baby to have an adequate night's sleep and decrease the risk of developing breathing issues or pressure sores. Mattresses that are second-hand can increase your child's SIDS risk. Find a brand approved by the CPSC that complies with current guidelines. Also, be careful not to overstuff your crib or use pillows, duvets, bumpers or baby positioners - they could pose the risk of suffocation. A comfortable, firm mattress for your baby must support the spine. There are a variety of baby mattresses on the internet, from budget choices to more luxurious brands. If you're unsure to try them out, visit a store.
