Selecting What To Sleep Baby In

Initially you should decide where your baby is going to sleep for the first few months as this will help to decide what may be best for your baby to sleep in.
Keeping baby close to parents for those first few months will help to reassure the baby and means they can be easily monitored and convenient for those early morning feeds, whether breastfeeding or not.
Once you have decided where your baby is going to sleep for those early months you need to decide what to sleep them in. Favourites are moses baskets, cribs and more so now bedside cots which can be kept close to parents bed.

Moses Baskets
A moses basket is usually used for about the first four months with either a folding or rocking stand to keep the basket off the floor. A moses basket can easily be moved around the house wherever the parent maybe and can even be used when visiting grandparents or friends thus providing baby with a comfortable and familiar environment to snooze.

Cribs
With a crib you can use it for around 6 months and many will have a swinging or gliding motion to help soothe baby to sleep and a variety of drapes and bedding to comfort baby and complement the setting.

Bedside Cots
Bedside cots such as the Cosatto Close to Me Bedside Cot allows the cot to be right beside the parents bed meaning mum does not have to leave her bed to comfort baby during the night and provides comfort and security for the baby.

Cots
You can sleep baby from the start in their cot or cot bed. Usually it would be installed in the parents bedroom for the early months and later in the babys room or nursery room.
It is now recommended to sleep baby at the bottom of the cot which is known as the feet to foot position which helps to prevent baby from wriggling under the bedding and over heating. A solid end cot maybe best for this.
Most cots will have a drop side which allows easy access to baby and a two or three position adjustable base which you will have in its highest position until baby is able to pull or sit up by themselves. After this you must drop the base to its lowest position. Quality cots will usually include teething rail protectors which help protect the cot and prevent injury to young gums and mouths.
A cot is normally suitable from birth up to two or three years with standard internal dimensions of 120x60cm.

Cot Beds
Again you can sleep baby from the start in a cotbed, recommended for the early months in the feet to foot position, up to about five to six years. Most cot beds will have an adjustable base and as with cots as soon as baby can sit up it is best to drop it to the lowest position. You can use the cotbed as a cot for the first two or three years then you can easily convert it into a bed for use upto five or six years. Most quality cot beds will have solid ends and teething rails with standard internal dimensions of 140x70cm.
