These cots have a side which can be adjusted to allow you to reach your baby easily at night to comfort and feed them. This is particularly useful for mothers recovering from a c-section. Many of them are foldable or portable, so you can take them on trips and use them as a temporary sleep solution for infants who aren't yet ready to move into a cot that is full size.
