Cot

Bedside cots, also referred to as bassinets or cosleepers are a great option to keep your baby close to you during the beginning of their first few months. The cots are designed to sit next to your bed so that you can bring your baby closer to feed them at night or soothe them to sleep. They're also great for mothers recovering from the C-section.

There are many models available however the Arm's Reach Clear-Vue stands out. It's shaped as a play yard and has four sides with two of them long and can be lowered away (secured with Velcro) to allow you the ability to easily access your baby's feeds.

The Baby Hug 4 In 1 Air is a different alternative. It also has an adjustable side that can be converted into recliner. This is a great option for toddlers and infants and allows you to adjust your baby's sleep position as they grow.

It's worth noting that while a bassinet can be used as an alternative to traditional cots, Red Nose strongly suggests that you sleep your baby in their crib from birth until six months. This is because SIDS risk is significantly higher when babies share beds, particularly with adults, and also because it's unsafe to allow an infant to sleep in a bassinet that does not comply with the Australian safety standards.

Cots, on the other hand, are safer than bassinets because they have fixed heights that eliminate the gap between the mattress of your child and an adult bed. They're also usually larger, meaning they can be converted into full-size and toddler beds as your baby grows - which can save you money in the long run.

When shopping for a baby wooden bedside cot cot it is essential to consider your budget and the size of your bedroom or nursery when choosing a cot. Keep in mind that cot beds are likely to be more expensive than bassinets however they can be an excellent investment, as they last for a long time and can be used as your baby grows from infant to childhood and beyond.

You'll also require an appropriate mattress for your cot or crib. It's essential that the mattress is firm, flat and breathable to help your baby have a restful night's sleep and reduce their risk of developing breathing issues or pressure sores. Mattresses used in second-hand stores can increase the risk of SIDS for your child. Look for a brand approved by the CPSC that complies with current guidelines. Be careful not to overstuff the foldable bedside crib or use duvets or pillows, bumpers or baby positioners. They could pose the risk of suffocation. A mattress that is breathable for babies should be firm enough to provide support for your baby's spine. On the internet, you can find a variety of baby mattresses, from budget-friendly choices to premium brands. If you're not sure, visit an establishment and try them out for yourself.
