The Best Bedside Cot For Newborns A bedside crib is a bassinet style crib that attaches to the mattress's side. This makes it simple to get your baby to sleep to feed them without fuss. They are suitable from birth until about six months. Official safe sleeping guidance from both the NHS and The Lullaby Trust recommends newborns sleep in a separate crib from parents' beds to lower the chance of SIDS. These best bedside cots make this possible. 1. Arm's Reach Clear-Vue Co-Sleeper When co-sleeping was a brand-new idea, a father and son team came together to form Arm's Reach and came up with a design that would allow parents to comfortably sleep with their infants. It was the first cot for bedside that allowed babies to sleep in close proximity without falling or suffocating into the mattress. The Clear-Vue is still in widespread use today, with over 25 years of history and no reported injuries or deaths. It comes with a fitted mattress and the bassinet. The bassinet is intended for infants from five to six months old or until they begin pushing up on their hands and knees or bending their knees, whichever comes first. The Co-Sleeper can be purchased as a bassinet that can be used as a stand-alone unit or can be attached to the parent's mattress using the included strap and plate. It's easy to transfer between the two modes by the pulling of a string but you should be aware that it doesn't meet the federal requirements for a bed that is attached so your child should never be left alone in this arrangement of sleeping. McKenna was impressed by the Co-Sleeper's accessibility, stating that it's easy to get infants into and out of the bassinet during mid-night feedings or other requirements from your bed. He also praised safety of the Co-Sleeper as it meets all requirements for a baby's crib and bassinet.

It is sturdy and solid, with plenty of storage. 2. HALO Bassinest The HALO Bassinest Swivel Sleeper is the only bedside cot that rotates 360 degrees to ensure that baby is close and makes it easier for parents to get into and out of bed.
