Buying an Infant Cot Bed

A crib is the most popular type of baby bed. It is a fantastic place for your infant to sleep. It can be difficult for your baby to get settled in their cot.

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

Safety features

When purchasing an infant cot bed it is crucial to confirm whether it was made in a safe manner. This means you should ensure that it has been tested to proper standards and that all of its components are secure. This can be done by looking for a JPMA certification seal or ensuring that there aren't any gaps between the mattress and product sides that could trap an infant's head or legs. Also, make sure that you do not add pillows, stuffed toys or blankets to the cot as they can be an air suffocation hazard.

You may have to enter your child's room to change diapers, wash the cot or give them cuddles. It is also important to ensure whether the cot bed is covered with an waterproof mattress cover to guard it from accidents.

Most cot beds have adjustable mattress heights and some have sides that are removable and can be lowered as your child grows. This will make it easier for your infant to climb into and out of the cot as they get older, but you should be on the lookout for them and move them onto the toddler bed around 18 months or two years old when they begin to begin to show signs that they are ready to do this.

If your child is sleeping in the cot bed it is recommended that you position the bed away from heating sources and windows, wall lamps and curtain or blind cords as these can be an entrapment risk for infants. It is also a good idea to create a safe zone around the cot, free from any bedding or toys that could create an suffocation hazard and also take away climbing aids such as large toys. This will help keep your baby secure and make the transition to a toddler bed less stressful for everyone.

Convenience

A well-designed crib encourages a healthy posture and a supportive sleeping environment. Its intentional spacing minimises entanglement hazards that can result in a risk of suffocation for infants. Its minimalist design also provides parents with the ability to easily caring for their child during diaper changes and nighttime feedings.

Most cots are a standard size, which means they can be used with most regular mattresses for babies. They usually also come with a fitted sheet and an extra cushion that shields the cot from scratches and bumps. Some cots come with removable sides, making it easier to reach your baby when it's time to go to bed. But, it is essential to follow the guidelines of The Lullaby Trust and only use the mattress that is suitable for your child's age and weight.

If your child is outgrowing their cot, it's the time to move them to an adult bed. It can be a stressful time for parents as well as babies, but you can make the transition easier. Examine the height of the crib first. It should be lower that your baby's crib, so they aren't forced to climb or jump out of it.

Drop-sides for cots are another option, as they're safer for older babies who are able to climb up and walk over the edge. They also feature catch or pedals that stop your baby from unlatching themselves. They are especially useful for parents who are taller, but do not have the ability to get their child out of the crib.

Some cots have a drop-down side that is able to be adjusted to lower or raise to accommodate older babies that are beginning to roll around and wiggle in their sleep. This kind of cot comes with the safety guard made from metal or plastic and prevents your baby from falling.

The benefit of this is that it's smaller than a standard cot so it will take less space in the nursery of your baby's. 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 well with the other furniture in your nursery. This will create a peaceful environment for your baby. It will also improve the overall ambience in the room.

Some cots have an underneath basket or drawer which is great for storing muslin cloths as well as blankets.

It is also important to get a mattress that is similar to the size of your cot, and you should go with organic cotton whenever it is possible.

Space Savings

The slats can also help keep the mattress clean and fresh. They are less likely to slide than bassinets which can cause discomfort for babies. You can pick from a range of sizes of slats, such as narrow, standard, and wide. Regardless of the slat size you pick it is important to select an extremely firm and sturdy mattress for your baby's comfort as well as safety.
