The best products allow you to clean the cots in your bed. Start by removing any bedding like blankets, sheets or cuddly toys, and washing them according to the manufacturer's instructions. Clean the cot thoroughly, including its mattress. Pay particular attention to crevices and corners. Mattress protectors can help to reduce the accumulation of dust mites, bacteria and other germs.

Clean a clean cloth frequently to rinse off soapy residue and keep the surface as clean as it can be. If the mattress is stained you can use a soft scrub brush to remove them, and add a little baking soda to eliminate any lingering odours. Always test a small portion of the mattress first to make sure the cleaning product is safe for your baby.

The best bedside cribs let newborns sleep close to parents but in a separate sleeping space. They're typically more compact than a Moses basket or traditional cots, and they can often be folded away and stored away when not in use. It's also easier to reach for night feeds, diaper changes and even soothing. This makes them perfect for new mums who are recovering from a c section as they won't have to bend down as much to care for their infant during the middle of the night.
The crib is also a good choice for parents who are concerned about the risks that come with co-sleeping. This is because the crib is closer to the parent's bed and has a lower risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) than co-sleeping in a regular bassinet or cot. This kind of safe co-sleeping known as "rooming in" is important for the baby's development.
