The cots are designed to fit next to your bed so that you can easily bring your baby closer to feed them at night or help soothe them back to sleep. These are also perfect for mums who have just had a c-section.

There are a variety of models available and the Arm's reach Clear-Vue stands out. This play area is compact and is made up of four sides. Two of the sides are long and can be lifted out of the way using Velcro so that you can easily access your baby's feeds.

The baby bedside co sleeper Hug 4 In 1 Air is another option. It also comes with a drop-down side and can be transformed into recliner. This is a fantastic option for infants to toddlers and provides you with the flexibility to change your baby's sleeping position as they grow.

Red Nose recommends that your child sleep in their own cot from birth and six months. This is because SIDS risk is significantly greater when babies share beds, particularly with adults, and it's unsafe to allow an infant to sleep in a bassinet which doesn't comply with the Australian safety standards.

Cots are usually safer than bassinets, as they have a fixed height that will ensure there is no gap between your baby's mattress and the adult bed. Cots tend to be larger and can be converted to toddler or full-size beds when your baby grows. This can save you money.

When looking for a new crib for your baby it is important to think about your budget and the size of your nursery or bedroom as you choose a model. Remember that cots are more expensive than bassinets, however, they are a great investment as they can last for many years and will be utilized by your child as he or develops.

It's also worth remembering that you'll need a baby mattress for your bedside crib or cot. The mattress must be firm, flat and breathable for your baby to have a restful night and reduce the chance of developing breathing issues or pressure sores. Be cautious of mattresses that are second-hand because they could increase the risk of your child developing SIDS, so make sure you select a brand that's been approved by the CPSC and is in line with the most recent guidelines. Also, be cautious not to over-stuff your crib or use pillows, duvets bumpers, or baby positioners as they could be a suffocation hazard. A baby mattress that is breathable is one that is sturdy enough to be able to support your baby's back. You can find a range of mattresses for babies on the internet, from budget choices to more expensive brands. If you're not sure, go to an establishment and try them out for yourself.
