For the nights that feel long, and the cuddles that make them worth it.
From traditional co-sleeping to modern next to me crib solutions, sharing a sleep space has always been about closeness, comfort, and connection. Today, many families are rediscovering the emotional and practical benefits of sharing sleep space with their baby—especially with thoughtful, modern solutions like a next to me crib.
These purpose-built cribs offer the closeness of co-sleeping with added safety, support, and peace of mind—making nighttime feeds, cuddles, and bonding that little bit easier. Here’s how co-sleeping can support your little one’s development (and your own well-being), along with some gentle guidance on how to do it in a way that feels safe, secure, and right for your family.
Why Co-Sleeping Works for Many Families
There’s something instinctive about keeping your baby close. When done safely, co-sleeping can support emotional development and strengthen the bond between parent and child in gently simple, natural ways.
Emotional Bonding, The Natural Way
Babies are hardwired to seek connection. When you're nearby at night, you’re not just meeting their needs—you’re nurturing a sense of calm and trust that lasts well beyond the early weeks.
-
Helps lower stress and cortisol levels
-
Supports emotional regulation
-
Encourages stronger attachment
-
Reassures baby (and you) during overnight wake-ups
And when your baby feels safe and secure, everyone tends to sleep a little better.
Breastfeeding Support with a Bedside Crib
Having your baby within arm’s reach can make night feeds feel less like a full-on production and more like a quiet, natural part of your routine.
-
Easier feeds with minimal disruption
-
Quicker response to hunger cues
-
Often linked to longer breastfeeding journeys
-
Helps reduce overnight fatigue
A bedside crib makes it easy to respond in the moment—no fumbling in the dark, no need to leave your bed. Just a soft reach and a shared moment.
Better Sleep with a Next to Me Crib and Bedside Co-Sleeper
Contrary to what some may assume, co-sleeping can actually support better rest. Babies who feel secure often settle more quickly—and wake less often.
Sleep benefits include:
-
Fewer overnight disruptions
-
Faster response to baby’s needs
-
Naturally synced parent-baby sleep patterns
-
A calmer bedtime environment
Choosing the Right Next To Me Crib
Not all co-sleeping setups are made equal, and that’s where choosing the right next to me crib really makes a difference.
Unlike traditional or make-do arrangements, a purpose-built next to me crib, like the CoZee Bedside Crib or the CoZee Air Bedside Crib from Tutti Bambini, attaches securely to your bed, giving your baby their own safe sleep space while keeping them right beside you.
What to look for:
-
A firm, separate sleep surface that meets safety guidelines
-
Easy access for feeds, cuddles, and settling
-
Adjustable height to match your bed
-
Breathable mesh sides for airflow and visibility
-
A stable, secure structure that’s made to last
