Buying a Baby Cot Bed

Cot beds are a better durable option than cribs because they can be converted to an adult bed. They also come with removable sides and an end panel that can be dropped down to provide access to your child.

The majority of cribs can be used from birth until around 2 years, or until your child starts to climb out. Then you should move to a junior bed.

4 Walls

Cot beds provide a safe, secure place for your baby to sleep or rest during the night. They feature high walls or rails that stop your child from falling, and many come with adjustable mattress heights. This makes a cot bed perfect for toddlers and infants alike. There are many cot bed models, ranging from simple and inexpensive to those with many additional features. In the end, it depends on your family's needs and budget.

The right baby sleep arrangement is an important choice for any new parent. You must ensure that your baby is safe and secure. It should also be a space that you can use for a prolonged period of time. While cots are great for newborns and are compact however, they can be difficult to squeeze into smaller spaces. They're also only usually suitable for use from 18 months. A cot bed is a better choice for longer-term use and can be easily converted into a toddler or a small single bed.

Snuz Cot Bed is a versatile, good-value cot. This is a basic but sturdy cot with a large hood which shields your child from the sun and wind. It also features a handy storage space at the bottom of the cot, so you can keep bedding and other necessities close by.

Another good choice is another option is the CuddleCo Nola Convertible Cot. It can be converted from a cot into single or toddler beds using an extension kit, that is available separately. It comes with three mattress heights, so you can keep the mattress high up for newborns and young babies, and then lower it down as your child grows older.

The last alternative is a travel bed. They are designed for use on short-term basis and might not offer the same level of support as a regular bed. They typically come with mattresses which aren't as sturdy or thick as standard ones. While they can be a great alternative to a standard mattress while traveling however, it is important to consider that your child will only be using them for a couple of years before he or she is ready for a bigger bed.

Protect your mattress from water with a waterproof mattress

Many parents spend lots of time and effort selecting a cot but pay less focus on the mattress your baby will be sleeping on. This is an essential purchase for your baby. We suggest investing in an organic cotton crib.

As new research shows airflow restriction could be a cause of SIDS and SUDI, you will be looking to ensure that your baby's bed is free of pillows, toys, blankets, muslin cloths or cot bumpers that can hinder the flow of air around your child. It is also important to ensure that the bed or cot is away from any radiators, heaters, windows plug sockets, and cables.

The Mamas&Papas Franklin Cot Bed is a popular option among our mum testers. It is available in four colors and the design appears like it will last for an extended period of time. It can also be converted into a toddler bed so your child can use it right up until the age of 4.

The SnuzFino Classic Cot Bed is another cot with great style and value (PS695, Mother&Baby). Our mum testers loved its sleek design and said it was "simple yet elegant and will stand the test of time". It's designed to grow with your child and has two different height settings so you can put your baby in a higher position and lower it once they're capable of sitting on their own.

It is crucial to remember that the mattress should not have a gap larger than 25mm (1") between it and the ends and sides of the cot. This will ensure that your baby won't escape from the crib or get caught between the slats of the mattress. Use a mattress cover that is 100% organic cotton and GOTS certified to ensure that it is breathable, soft and waterproof.

If you prefer, you can opt for a more high-tech option and opt for the SNOO Smart Sleeper Baby Cot (PS355, Cuckooland). It's an innovative piece of equipment that includes an app that is mobile, a weaning features as well as access to sleep specialists and more. It's expensive and not accessible to many parents.

Blankets at the End of The Road

If you are planning to let your baby sleep in a crib or cot with a blanket, make sure to have enough extras so you can wash them regularly. This will keep the sheets fresh and clean and keep them from becoming too dirty and uncomfortable for your baby. Three to four sets of sheets should be enough.

A good set of organic muslin blankets will allow you to change the sheets often without worrying about them becoming too dirty. They also breathe, which helps to keep your baby's skin healthy and happy. You can pick from a variety of sizes and colors to find the right one for your baby.

The best blankets are soft, cosy and breathable. You shouldn't choose a blanket that is too heavy and bulky, as it could create a suffocation risk for your baby. It is best to choose an organic blanket made of cotton muslin, which is lightweight and breathable. Another alternative is a blanket that is thermal. They are an excellent choice for balmy summer days when your baby will need a lightweight cover to keep them warm.

In general it is recommended you do away with blankets in the crib of your child when they reach the age of 18 months or earlier if you can. This is because they can become dangerous if they are allowed to climb onto them, leading to accidents such as falls from the crib or bed. However, if your baby is used to sleeping with blankets and is covered from birth or sleeps in a baby sleep bag then you might want to leave it in place until they are ready to move to a duvet.

Many parents use milestone blankets to mark their child's growth and progress. These blankets are typically numbered according to the child's age. It is a great way to keep family and friends updated on your baby's progress as well as capture precious moments. The Monica + Andy Always Blanket has a double layer that's both warm and cozy, yet airy.

Easy to Assemble

While a baby cot bed is among the most important furniture pieces for nursery cots but it's also a significant investment. It's crucial to choose a model which is both attractive and sturdy. The most important thing to consider is that the cot needs to be in keeping with the overall style of the baby's room. You should also consider whether the cot can be converted to a toddler bed and if so, how easy it is to accomplish.

When choosing a cot look for models that have solid frames, sturdy rails and smooth surfaces. Avoid cots that have curved corners, because they could pose strangulation risks. Make sure you read the directions of the manufacturer and avoid using any tools that may cause damage. Don't be afraid to ask for help. Ask your family or friend member to help you.

Many co-occurring beds are paired with furniture for your nursery that can really bring the look of your room together. However, if you don't have the funds for this there are numerous high-quality alternatives that can be used as a stand-alone. The Elementary cot sale-bed from John Lewis Anyday comes in white with solid FSC pine, which makes it a durable choice. It also comes with three mattress height positions, so it's suitable from birth. It can also be lowered when your child is ready for standing (usually at around 18 months).

Another option is the Scandi-style Coxley cot from Stokke It has a stunning hand-crafted feel and a neutral grey finish that suits any interior. It is easy to assemble and can be inserted into standard doorframes. This is great to move around the home.
