The right products make it easy to clean the cots in your bed. Take away any bedding, such as blankets, sheets or toys that are cuddly and wash them according the manufacturer's instructions. Clean the cot including the mattress. Pay special attention to crevices and corners. Mattress protectors can help to reduce the growth of dust mites, bacteria, and other germs.

Next take a soft cloth dampened with a baby-safe cleaner spray or a natural stain removal spray to wipe down the cot. Clean a clean cloth frequently to wash soapy residue off and keep the surface as clean as it can be. Use a gentle scrub brush to eliminate stains from the mattress. Baking soda can be used to eliminate lingering smells. Test the cleaning product on a small part of the mattress prior to using it.

If the cot is taken apart, it can be easier to reach all of its surfaces and nooks and crannies for thorough cleaning and sanitising. You can use a mild detergent and warm water to wash the mattress and its protector.

If the cot is made from wood, it is possible to sanitise it with a mixture of warm water and white vinegar. This natural disinfectant kills bacteria without leaving harmful residues or causing damage to the wood. Test the solution on a small area of the wood to ensure it doesn't cause damage to the wood. Apply the solution using a soft cloth and allow it to dry before putting it back together.

The crib is also a good option for parents who are concerned about the risks associated with co-sleeping. This is because the crib is situated closer to the bed of the parent and has a lower chance of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) than co-sleeping in a standard cot or bassinet. This type of safe co-sleeping known as rooming in and is an important element of a baby's early development.

You can also buy a variety of bedsides, some of which include a portable mattress that you can carry with you on trips and others that can be converted into a standalone toddler cot or baby cot.
