Choosing a large bedside crib that turns into cot cot (see this site)
bedside crib vs cot cots, also known as co-sleepers and bassinets, are designed to allow parents to sleep close to their infants at night without the danger of SIDS. However they are only recommended for use up to 6 months when your baby will be required to be moved into a cot or a moses basket.
