The Three Greatest Moments In Wooden Bedside Cot History

A Wooden Bedside Cot Offers Versatility and Safety

A bedside crib made of wood is a safe and comfortable option to bring your child closer to you when they are sleeping. It can also be used in a variety of ways, easily converting into a bassinet or crib.

Some cots can be converted, with adjustable mattress bases and rails that can be removed. These beds let your baby gradually transition into a toddler bed as they grow older.

Safety

A quality bedside cot will be safe and sturdy. It will meet European safety standards and be free from hazards such as drop-side mechanisms soft toys, dangling cords or slats that can be used as a foothold by climbing infants. It will also be free from the kind of dangles or stickers that could choke or catch infants. If you're using a used cot, make sure it is not coated with lead paint or has a drop-side mechanism. It must be clean and dry with a comfortable, air-conditioned mattress that fits comfortably, with no gaps.

A new mattress is recommended for the cot since older mattresses are more likely to sag or be too thin. This could pose the risk of choking. Do not add extra items such as pillows and duvets because they increase the chance of being suffocated. The Lullaby Trust advises you to keep your baby's cot free of anything that might cause distraction or disrupt their sleep, such as toys, dangley cot bumpers, and dangly mobiles.

Convenience

Some cots, like the Leander Linea or Stokke Sleepi Mini, have an adjustable height mattress base that allows you to bring your baby close by at bedtime. You can also lower the base as your baby grows and begins to stand to prepare for a more independent bedtime routine. Other convertible cots like the Comfy Cubs Wooden Bedside Bassinet sleeper are made to convert from a crib to the bassinet and then to a toddler's bed when your child is capable. To ensure safety and comfort, you should pair your cot with baby-safe items.
