This kind of cot attaches to the bed’s side and has a curved end which can be lifted or lowered so you can reach your child.

Sleeping in a co-sleeper is not recommended until your baby is at least six months of age. Official advice from The Lullaby Trust and the NHS is that newborns shouldn’t sleep in your bed because of the risk of suffocation and overheating. However, if you need to sleep with your partner in a crib, a bedside crib is the safest option.
