This close proximity also helps breastfeeding mothers by allowing them to attend to the needs of their infant without having to get up completely and can help maintain milk supply and support the breastfeeding experience. Some bedside cots come with adjustable height options that can help both the mother and baby to get into the bassinet for feedings or other activities at night.

This is useful for babies with digestive or reflux issues. However, it should be done slowly and with caution. Avoid adding pillows, duvets or padded crib bumpers inside the bassinet. These can pose the risk of suffocation to your baby. It is also recommended to consider the bassinet with an attachment system that is secure. It can be attached to your existing bed easily without the need of tools. This feature can be particularly helpful for parents who may struggle to lift their baby in and out of the crib or who are concerned about rolling over during sleep.
