Buying an Infant Cot Bed

The most well-known kind is a crib. It's a wonderful place to rest your baby. It can be difficult for your baby to get settled in their cot.

Babies should be able to roll over easily. They also need to sleep on an even surface. This means that they should not use pillows or blankets in their cots as they could be an air suffocation risk.

Safety features

When purchasing an infant cot bed it is essential to ensure that it has been manufactured in a safe manner. This means that you must ensure that it has been tested according to required standards and that all of its components are safe. You can check this by searching for the JPMA certification seal or checking that there aren't any gaps between the mattress and the sides of the product that could catch the infant's head or legs. You should also make sure that you do not add pillows or blankets to the cot since they could pose a suffocation risk.

You may need to enter your child's room to change their nappy, clean the cot, or give them some cuddles. It is also important to make sure that the cot is equipped with a waterproof mattress protector to protect it from any injuries your infant may have.

Most cots have adjustable mattress heights and some have removable sides that can be adjusted as your child grows. This makes it easier to get your child into and out of their cots as they grow older. However, you should be watching the child and move them to a toddler bed at 18 months to 2 years old if they show indications that they are ready.

It is essential to keep your child's cot bed away from heaters and wall lamps. Also, the cords of blinds or curtains could cause strangulation. It is recommended to also take away any climbing aids like large toys and create a space around the cot free of toys or bedding which could cause suffocation. This will help keep your Baby Cot safe and make the transition to a toddler bed a lot easier for everyone.

Convenience

A well-designed cot fosters a comfortable sleep environment that promotes healthy posture. Its thoughtful spacing minimizes the possibility of entanglement which can lead to suffocation in infants. Its simple design also provides parents with the ability to easily caring for their child during diaper changes and evening feedings.

The majority of cots are standard size, which means they will fit most normal baby mattresses. They are also typically equipped with a fitted sheet and an extra cushion which protects the mini cot beds from scratches and bumps. There are some cots that have a removable side, which allows you to easily reach your baby during the time of bed. It's important to follow The Lullaby Trust's recommendations and only use a mattress for your child's weight and age.

When your baby is no longer in their cot, it's time to transition them to a toddler bed. It can be a tough moment for parents and babies, but you can make the transition easier. Make sure you check the height of the crib first. You want it to be lower than your baby's bed, so they won't need to climb or jump out of it.

Cots with drop sides are a different option, since they're safer for older babies who can reach their feet and crawl over the edge. They also have locks or pedals that can stop your baby from unlatching themselves. These are particularly helpful for parents who are taller, and don't have the reach to lift their baby out of the crib themselves.

Some affordable cots have a side that can be raised and lowered. This is great for older babies who are beginning to roll over or wriggle during sleep. This type of cot also has a safety guard, which is usually made from metal or plastic and helps keep your baby safe from falling out.

Alternatively, you can buy a Moses basket that can be converted into bed, which is perfect for toddlers and babies who are younger. This is smaller than a standard one, so it occupies less space in your child's room. It's also easy to move and many of them have wheels that facilitate maneuvering.

Aesthetics

A good cot-bed must be stylish and blend in with the rest of your nursery. This will create a peaceful atmosphere for your baby and will also add to overall ambience in the room. It should not be set too close to windows or doors, as this may expose your baby's sleep to drafts.

It is important to choose a cot that will not cause your baby to overheat, and the fabric should be soft. A cot shouldn't be placed close to a fire since it may catch the flame.

Some cots include a drawer or basket underneath that can be useful to store muslin cloths and blankets. You can also put on a hood to shield your baby from sound and light which can help them sleep better at night. It is also important to choose a mattress that is similar in size to your cot, and you should choose organic cotton if you can.

Adding a few toys to your infant's cot bed can encourage them to sleep for longer. But, do not try to make the cot more comfortable by adding mattresses or pillows in case they pose the risk of suffocation or injury. You can also buy an hygienic cover for your mattress to lessen the requirement to wash it frequently. The cover shields your mattress from staining which result from sweat or shedding sweat.

Space saving

Cot beds are designed to adapt to your child and can usually be transformed into the size of a toddler bed. This reduces the cost of replacing furniture for a cot, as well as making the transition from crib to bed seamless for your child. Many cots come with built-in storage to store things like toys, blankets, and books. This feature is especially helpful if you are short on space in your home.

They are less likely to sag than bassinets that can be uncomfortable for infants. You can choose from various slats including wide, standard, and narrow. Whatever size you select, you should always choose a thick and firm mattress for your baby's comfort as well as safety.

Some cots have a metal or plastic top to help prevent your baby from climbing on the bed. However the tops must be removed when your child is older, since they could cause injuries. There are many cots for sale and many are available in various styles and colors. Some have additional features, such as teething rails, under-bed drawers, and even a bed.

It's also a great option for parents who are in a financial crunch, as it is less expensive than other options on the market. The cot comes with the mattress of standard size. This makes it much easier to buy bedding.
