The side bassinet just goes onto the side of your bed it’s really nice
Definitely recommend a bedside bassinet, they're still next to you but also safely in their own area
I have been co-sleeping with my baby since day 1. We tried the bassinet and she would wake up every 30-60 minutes, so we started co-sleeping and she does so much better! Only wakes once or twice now. I’m a pretty light sleeper, and it is always recommended to not be drinking, smoking, or taking sleeping aids while co-sleeping. We do the cuddle curl position and it works great for us! She is flat on her back (at least to fall asleep. Recently she has been rolling to her side during sleep). And I basically curl myself around her is a c position. It’s very similar to the position you would lay in if you were breastfeeding laying down. I also remove most of the pillows and we just have a light blanket that I put over me and her own that goes over her.
Look up “safe sleep 7”
personal opinion here. i tried the bedside bassinet for her first 8 weeks. because i was scared to co sleep. but i ended up giving in due to her not sleeping and just her being exhausted all day. we tried safe sleep 7. but now she sleeps on my arm and i stay still when i sleep so it works for us. everyone will have opinions. just be careful and if you have an owlet use it. 🫶
I was cosleeping because baby would only sleep in a boppy pillow nothing else!!! So now she’s in a side bassinet it’s going okay.. it’s better than I was doing it, but still considered cosleeping because she’s next to me! And that’s how I’m doing it now. She loves that boppy still though man oh man
