Clip-on cot

Hi,
Can anyone tell me where I can buy one of these cots that clips on to the side of a double-bed. I'd like to get one for when I'm breast-feeding.

Thanks

Do you perhaps mean a bedside cot/crib which you butt up rather than one which actually fixes onto a bed frame ?

I keep reading about a clip-on cot which cuts down on cot-death and is supposed to be good for when your breastfeeding because the baby is sleeping next to you but in their own cot. I know you get cots with a drop side but that wouldn't go below the depth of the bed would it?

Thanks

No, I don't think so

The side on a bedside one is designed to slide away underneath the cot or removes so it becomes effectively 3 sided and the mattress can be positioned at the same level and against the mattress of the bed. See the thumbnail pics here

you want to try to get hold of a global bedside cot. I had one until recently. It fits right upagainst the side of the bed but the drop side is also able to be lifted and following a discreet channel it rotates to be parrall with oppositite non drop side side if that make sense. it then looks like a daybed if you see what I mean. it is on castors and there is a level in the front which can be operated by 1 foor or hand so that if you are carrying baby you can easily drop the side with your other hand. I can only find crappy pictures of it now, I think the company making it went into liquidation but there are still some, even new ones hanging around. one when on ebay for 130£ the other day I think I paid about that for it new.
