How to Choose the best crib for newborn Cot Beds for Your Baby

If you are expecting a baby it is crucial to choose a cot that will ensure safety and security for your baby. Choose a cot that has fixed sides (rather than drop-sides) that are in line with strict UK safety standards.

Our top pick is this simple yet stylish coffin from John Lewis' Anyday range. It has three mattress positions, teething bars and a storage drawer. It's also easy to set up with clear instructions.

Comfort

The best cot bed cot beds keep babies comfy and cosy. Look for a soft, comfortable fabric. Also, make sure that the mattress is snug to avoid any gaps, which could create the risk of suffocation. There are a variety of mattresses available: coils springs, foam and even natural materials for allergy sufferers. Do your research to find the best cots one for your child.

Whether you opt for a standard or convertible cot, the most important thing to ensure comfort is a mattress of high-quality that provides proper support and promotes a healthy posture. This is also true for the slats, which must be firmly attached and not bent or sagging. The slats should also be secured to the frame, so your little one doesn't get caught in them when moving in their sleep.

Ask your friends and family for recommendations or look at online reviews. Select mattresses that are breathable, since they will aid in regulating your body temperature and are less likely to hold bacteria.

When it comes to fashion, there's a wide choice of styles, from traditional sleigh designs with intricate details to sleek, contemporary designs. Some are even painted with bright primary colors which is perfect when you want your baby to wake up feeling bright and happy!

The majority of cots have a drawer for storage underneath and teething rails that stop your child from chewing on the sides of the cot and adjustable height bases to accommodate baby's growth. You can even purchase a drop side for petite babies or those with medical conditions that make it difficult to bend over.

For added peace of mind, search for a cot that complies with the stringent UK safety standards and will easily transform into a toddler bed when the time is appropriate. Look for this information in the description or in the specifications.

Safety

When choosing a cot the safety of your child's sleep should be a priority. The mattress should fit snugly and there should be no gaps between the mattress and the sides or ends of the cot or cot-bed (large gaps could trap the child's arms or head). Verify that the mattress is firm and thin. Thick mattresses could increase the risk of SIDS. There are many companies that offer mattresses made of different materials, from foam to natural materials that are good for those suffering from allergies. Some have anti-microbial treatment. If your mattress has drop sides, make sure that it is in the up position and locked securely.

A drop side should only be allowed to drop only when an adult is present, this prevents accidental releases. Avoid placing your cot on a wall if it has a solid end. This can hinder airflow and could cause death in the coffin. The latest research suggests that slatted ends may be safer as they allow for more airflow.

If your cot has a fixed side you should choose this because it's safer when your child starts to crawl and then pull themselves up. If your child is climbing with confidence and standing, it's time to move to a junior bed.

Some cots have an option that allows the base to be raised to three levels. This is a wonderful security feature that allows your child's cot to grow with them. Some cots come with adjustable footplates that are perfect for toddlers who love to stand up.

When you put your child in their cot, make sure that there is no visible danger - it must be kept away from heaters, power points, windows and blind cords and curtains (these can be strangulation hazards). When buying second-hand furniture or heirlooms, make sure to look for any choking hazards such as stickers and transfers. They can come off and create a risk.

If you are unsure what you should do to use your cot, ask other parents for help or attend an local NCT New Baby class. If your cot comes with a manual, read it carefully before you begin using it, and follow the safe-use instructions closely.

The slats must not be too far apart to prevent your baby from falling out.

Stores

The amount of baby stuff you'll need is overwhelming regardless of whether you're a new mom or a seasoned one. It's crucial to think about storage when choosing a cot-bed. Some cots come with additional storage options, like drawers beneath the bed or a top changer (available separately). Certain cots can be transformed into toddler beds or a smaller single bed to increase their usage.

Some cots can be converted into day beds, like the one shown on the Cam Cam Copenhagen Harlequin Cot. This is an excellent option for those who like a more flexible design.

Some cots are designed in a more traditional style and come with a large drawer under the bed that is ideal to store blankets, toys clothes, and other baby necessities.

While this is a great idea if you're running out of space, you must keep in mind that you'll need to buy a separate extra drawer. You may need to buy an additional mattress and bedding since oval sheets and mattresses do not come with the cot.
