Nurul C.. · Experienced mom · Baby at 6 months
I swore I would not bed-share, but exhaustion won. Nursing lying down saved my sanity during those endless cluster feeding nights.
Bedside Bassinet15% moms chose this path
A co-sleeper crib attaches to your bed with one side folded down.

The Next2Me crib was a lifesaver after my emergency c-section. I could just reach over to comfort her without bending down.

Expert guidance

Safe sleep practices can help reduce sleep-related risks for babies. KKM recommends room-sharing without bed-sharing for the first six months using a separate cot. What matters most is keeping the sleep surface firm and free of pillows, blankets, and soft toys.
