How to Choose the Best cot for newborn Cot Beds for Your Baby

If you're expecting a child, it's important to choose a cot that will be secure and safe for your baby. Look for a cot that has fixed sides, rather than drop-sides. This will be in line with UK safety standards.

Our top pick is this basic but elegant coffin from John Lewis' Anyday range. It comes with three mattress positions, teething bars and a storage drawer. It is also easy to assemble, with clear instructions.

Comfort

The best cot beds keep baby's warm and comfortable. Find a comfortable, soft fabric. Make sure that the mattress is fitted snugly to avoid any gaps that could cause a risk of being suffocated. There are a range of mattresses available including coil springs, foam and other natural materials suitable for allergy sufferers - so do your research and choose the best one for your baby's requirements.

If you choose an ordinary or convertible cot, the key to comfort is a mattress of high-quality that provides proper support and encourages healthy posture. The same applies to the slats. They should be secured and not sagging or bent. The slats must be secured to the frame so that your child isn't caught in them when moving in their sleep.

If you're not sure which mattress to buy, consult your family and friends or consult online cots reviews for recommendations. Choose a mattress that is breathable, as they'll help to regulate temperature and are less likely to harbor bacteria.

There are a myriad of styles to choose from, including traditional sleighs with ornate details and sleek, modern designs. Some are even painted in bold primary colours, which is ideal for those who want their child to wake up feeling bright and content!

Most cots come with drawers underneath to store items and teething rails to guard your child from chewing on the sides of the cot and adjustable height bases to accommodate baby's growth. You can also purchase a drop-side for babies who are small or suffer from health issues that make it hard to bend over.

For extra peace of mind, look for a cot that is compliant with the strict UK safety standards and can easily convert into a toddler bed when the time is appropriate. This information is available in the product description as well as the key specifications.

Safety

A safe and secure sleeping environment is essential and a big factor when selecting a crib. Make sure the mattress fits snugly, with no gap between it and the cot/mini cot beds beds edges or sides (big gaps could trap your child's head or arms). Verify that the mattress is firm and thin - thicker mattresses aren't advised because they can increase the risk of SIDS. Many companies offer a choice of mattresses, ranging from basic foam to natural materials for allergy sufferers and some even have anti-microbial treatment. If your crib has an inclined side, make sure that it is in the up position and locked securely.

A drop side should be allowed to drop only when an adult is present, this will prevent accidental release. Avoid placing your cot on the wall if it is an end that is solid. This could hinder airflow and could lead to coffin death. Recent research suggests that slatted ends could be safer as they allow for more airflow.

If your cot is fixed on one side, then you can choose it. It will be the most secure option for your baby when they begin to crawl and pull themselves upward. When your child is confidently climbing and standing, it's the time to upgrade to a junior bed.

Some cots have a feature that allows the base to be raised up to three levels. This is a fantastic safety measure and enables your child's cot to expand with them. Some cots feature adjustable footplates that are ideal for toddlers who love to stand up.

When putting your child's cot in the crib, make sure there are no visible hazards. It should be kept away from any heaters or power points. Also, keep it away from windows, curtains, and blind cords. They all could pose a strangulation risk. If you're purchasing furniture from a secondhand store or an heirloom piece Be sure to check for potential hazards to choking such as stickers and transfers that can be removed and create the risk of.

If you are unsure what you should do to use your cot, consult other parents for advice or attend an local NCT New Baby class. If your cot has an instruction manual, read it carefully before you begin using it, and then follow the safety-use guidelines carefully.

Style

With its beautiful sleigh design This gorgeous cot bed will look amazing in your nursery. The panel was impressed by the combination of natural wood and white, as well as the innovative features like drawers under the bed for everything essential for babies, including bedding, nappy and an impressive array of baby clothes. It's also a breeze to put together with clear instructions and separate sets of screws for each section. It can also be converted into a toddler desk or bed as your child grows older (see product description for more information).

One of our most loved features are the teething rails, which shield your little one from smacking their head against the side of the cot or any protruding parts of the cot like handles or a corner post, and which will also stop them from chewing on the wood, which prevents them from being in danger of being suffocated. The cot also has an opening that can be removed to allow you to get access to your baby. We are thrilled that it can be converted to a toddler bed, and that it's sturdy enough to last up to four years. It also met the strict UK safety standards, which you'll find in the main specifications beneath each product.

Cot beds can be turned into toddler beds in the event that your child is old enough. This allows you to not have to buy an entirely new bed as your child gets ready to move up. However, they are pricier upfront than a crib that is standard.

If your nursery is very small, a crib could be the best choice for you since it is smaller and occupies less space. However, should your baby be expected to spend much of their time in their parents' room or you want a longer-lasting bed, you should consider a cot.

If the cot you are using does not meet the UK safety standards as defined by BS EN 716 or BS 8509 (which covers the thickness of mattresses, the materials used, and other essential elements of baby mattresses for cots) It is unsafe for babies to sleep. The slats must not be too wide apart to prevent your baby from falling off.

Storage

The amount of baby stuff you need is overwhelming, regardless of whether you're a new mom or a seasoned one. This is why it's essential to think about storage options when choosing a crib bed. Some cots have additional storage options, such as drawers underneath the bed or a coordinating top changer (available separately). Some can even be adapted to a toddler or a small single bed, increasing their usefulness for a longer period of time.

Some cot beds can be transformed into a daybed like this one on the Cam Cam Copenhagen Harlequin cot bed sales. This is a great option for those who prefer a less rigid design as the conversion process is fairly simple and requires just the removal of one side panel. This will allow parents to save on the cost of an additional bed.

A number of cot beds feature a hanging rail which can be used to store muslins, dolls and other small objects. This helps to keep everything organised tidy and neat - and it also looks great. These items are easily accessible to parents which makes it easier for them to feed their baby.

A teething rail is a important feature that's included in some cots. This will help stop your child from chewing on the wood, which can cause irritation. Some cots have an older style and have a huge storage drawer beneath the bed, which is perfect for clothes, toys, blankets and other baby necessities.

This is a great choice when space is a problem, but you will have to purchase a drawer on your own. You might need to purchase an additional mattress and bedding because oval sheets and mattresses don't come with the cot.

This sleigh cot from Stokke is a lovely example of the Scandi-style at its finest and has a huge under-bed storage drawer that's great for keeping all those baby's essentials out of view but still within reach. Our panel found it very straightforward to put together, thanks to the alphabetically labeled parts and clear instructions. It's suitable for babies from birth and can be converted into a toddler's crib when your child's ready.
