A mattress that is breathable will aid in regulating your baby's temperature, and also prevent them from overheating.

Some models come with a travel bag, so you can easily pack them and take them on your journey.

They're easy to clean

Bedside cots are simple to clean, particularly with the right cleaning products. Remove any bedding such as sheets, blankets, or cuddly toy and wash them according the instructions of the manufacturer. Vacuum the cot, including its mattress. Be particular about crevices and corners. Mattress protectors are a good idea to help reduce the accumulation of dust mites and other germs.

Next take a soft cloth moistened with a baby-safe cleaner spray or a natural stain removal spray to clean the cot. Regularly dampen a new cloth to wash soapy residues and keep the surface clean.

They're easy to move

A bedside crib, also known as a co-sleeper, or bedside bassinet, is a specially designed infant sleeping solution that allows your baby to sleep beside your bed. These cribs are compact, portable and easy to move around. They are also ideal for homes with small spaces or you are planning to travel with your child.

They are made with a removable or drop-down side that allows for easy lifting. They also come with adjustable heights and tilts. Some cribs can be transformed into full cot-beds when your child grows. This provides you with more durability and value.

Our mum testers love the light and portable nature of these sleeping solutions, which makes them ideal for travel. One mom says, "It is small and compact so it is easy to move around the house and easily fit in a bag." "My husband can carry it up and down the stairs without difficulty."

The Shnuggle Air next to the crib is a different option that is light that was shortlisted for 2021's Best Cot Crib, Cot or Moses Basket category at the Mother&Baby awards. Another mum, Gulhan Arapoglu, agrees that it's easy to move and feels it's strong too. But, she notes that it's not as big as some cribs that are placed on the bed, and isn't suitable for infants who are likely to flip or roll.

They're comfortable

The best cribs for beds let newborns sleep close to parents, but have their own sleeping space. They're usually a lot smaller than a Moses basket or standard cot, and they can often be folded away and put away when not being used. It's also more convenient to reach for feedings, diaper changes, and for soothing. This makes them perfect for new mothers who are recovering from a c section, as they won't need to bend as low to care for their infant during the middle of the night.

The crib is also a great choice for parents who are concerned about the risks associated with co-sleeping. The crib is closer to a parent's bed and has a lower chance of SIDS than sleeping in with a normal cot or bassinet. This kind of secure, co-sleeping known as "rooming in" is crucial for the baby's development.

You can also purchase various bedsides, some of which include an inflatable mattress that you can take with you on trips and others that convert into a standalone baby cot or toddler bed. Some even have incline positions which are great for babies who have reflux. Based on your needs and budget, you can also find a bedside crib that is attached to the bed of the parent, or has locking wheels so it can't be moved accidentally when the baby is asleep.

If you're considering a crib beside your bed, ensure it has a breathable and sturdy baby mattress. This will ensure the security of your child. We recommend choosing an inflatable mattress that is covered with a soft and sturdy cover. This will ensure that your baby will be comfortable and warm while they're sleeping.

You can also find some bedsides that are simple to fold and slide down which is a wonderful feature for those 3am bleary-eyed feeds. The Joie Roomie Glide, shortlisted for the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards in the Best Cot, Moses Basket or Crib category, is a great example of a bedside crib that is easy to lower. It's also compact enough to fit in a travel bag which is an added benefit for busy parents who are always on the move.
