Safety A bedside crib (also known as a co-sleeper or baby bassinet) lets your baby rest with you at night but in their own crib, keeping them safe from the dangers of overheating and SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome). Follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer regarding weight limits, and make sure that your child's bed is a good fit. If there are gaps, it may increase the chance of entrapment, which is another serious hazard. It's also important to ensure that the crib is free of items that can present the risk of suffocation, such as blankets, pillows and toys. Look for cribs that have an open side panel that which your child can see through and a firm and breathable, flat mattress. The slats must be no larger than 2 3/8 inches apart and the headboard must not be higher than the footboard. This will stop your child from climbing out of the crib. Many cribs have a built-in changer, shelves for storing wipes and diapers as well as rockers, music, and night lights. These are fantastic features to have, but remember that your baby should remain in their own crib until they're able to sit up or stand, around six months, when they'll be able to safely sleep elsewhere. You should also choose a crib with no corner posts. These can be dangerous for your baby as they create spaces where their limbs and heads might be stuck. If you have a crib that has corner posts, think about removing them to stop your baby from becoming entangled in their clothes or toys. Also, be sure to keep the crib free of drapery cords and window blinds, as your baby could become entangled in them and fall, or even be strangled. Make sure that the cot is still safe to use if you are using an old cot. It should be in good condition and sturdy, with no loose pieces. It should not have any rough surfaces or holes. It is also essential to ensure that the cot was taken down and repainted. Cots that were made prior to 1973 may have had leaded paint, which can be harmful to babies.

Some come with an adjustable swivel and swivel settings, which means they can be used with different kinds of beds or types. Some have mesh sides to increase visibility and airflow, too.

However it is recommended to use this method with extreme caution and only with the advice of a medical professional. MFM home test Jasmine loved the crib's size – “it is much larger than the majority of Moses baskets and feels sturdy and rugged – a little like an investment piece but not too costly to be out of reach.” Jasmine also appreciated its simplicity of use particularly its swivel base, saying: “You just spin it around when you have to reach over to check on your babyand when you're ready to sleep, simply pull it back.” Another thing she appreciated was how easy it was to shut and open the door from outside, particularly when she was bleary-eyed in the dark.
