In the early months, most parents want their newborn sleeping close by. A bassinet, bedside co-sleeper or Moses basket gives your baby their own safe sleep space right next to you, and takes up far less room than a cot. Shop bassinets from SnuzPod, Maxi-Cosi, UPPAbaby, Babyrest, Baby Studio and Super Nanny, plus the mattresses, sheets and stands to go with them.

Bassinet, co-sleeper or Moses basket?

  • Bedside bassinets and co-sleepers attach next to your bed with a drop-down side, so you can reach your baby easily for night feeds. Examples include the SnuzPod5, Maxi-Cosi Iora and Babyrest Alfie.
  • Smart bassinets like the UPPAbaby Soma and Baby Studio Rockabye add features to help settle your baby.
  • Moses baskets are light and portable, so they're easy to move from room to room. Pair one with a rocking stand.

What to look for

  • A firm, flat mattress that fits snugly, with no gaps around the edges
  • Breathable mesh sides, so you can see your baby and air can flow
  • Height adjustment, if it's going next to your bed
  • The maximum weight, and whether it folds for travel

FAQs

How long can my baby sleep in a bassinet?

Most bassinets are designed for the first few months. Move your baby to a cot once they reach the maximum weight in the product's instructions, or once they start rolling or pushing up on their hands and knees, whichever comes first. Read more: How long can a baby sleep in a Moses basket?

Is a bedside co-sleeper safe?

A bedside co-sleeper gives your baby their own separate sleep surface beside your bed. Always attach it exactly as the instructions say. Follow safe sleep advice: baby on their back, face clear, on their own firm mattress, with no pillows or loose bedding.

Do I need a bassinet, or can I go straight to a cot?

Many families go straight to a cot. A bassinet is handy if you want your baby in your room for the early weeks, or if space is tight. Read more: Do you need a Moses basket?
