Our mum testers love the SnuzPod's breastfeeding-friendly drop side, 30-second open and fold mechanism and reflux incline function. Additionally, its slim frame makes it easy to move from room room.

Safety

Many new moms want the closeness of their infant while they sleep, and cribs that are placed near the bed can be a safe option for families who are embracing co-sleeping. NHS Safe Sleep advises parents to choose a separate bed for their infant and avoid sharing a mattress to minimize the chance of suffocation or overheating.

They also come with a firm, flat mattress that is breathable and designed to promote healthy sleeping habits.

Most bedside cribs have a panel that can be adjusted to allow you to comfortably see your baby throughout the night. This allows you to easily provide comfort, feed and monitor your child without leaving the bed.

It is advised to keep any dummy or soft toys away from the crib as well because they can be a hazard to suffocate. To keep your baby safe and secure, make sure that the crib mattress is breathable and check regularly for any gaps or loose sheets. Once your baby is able to stand or sit (typically at around 6 months), they will need a cot or other sleeping arrangement that is suitable. If you're worried about this transition, it is worth speaking to your GP or health visitor.

Comfort
