Baby cot - Sleep spots for your baby

Baby cot is a small bed especially for infants and very young children. Infant beds are a historically recent development intended to contain a child capable of standing. The cage-like design of infant beds restricts the child to the bed.

WHEN IS A BABY COT USED?

An baby cot is typically used after it is no longer safe to leave the baby on the bed. They have a lower center of gravity, more mass, a broader base of support and can hold a larger baby. Baby cots are stable and as such become desirable when a baby can roll, transferring inertia with their actions. Around two or three years of age children are able to defeat their confinement and should be moved to a toddler bed to prevent an injurious fall while escaping their bed.

The things to know when choosing a baby cot 

1. The size of the room

If your nursery is small, a cot needs to fit and still leave space for other furniture. Where space is limited, you may want to consider a change table that can be wall-mounted or one that sits 

on top of the cot.

2. Fixed side or drop rail

Some people like drop rails on cots, some people need them and others don’t; drop rails are an individual consideration. If you do want a cot with drop rails, try to choose a design that allows for the one-handed operation. That way you can keep a secure hold of your sleeping baby while you drop the rail on his cot before lowering him into bed.

3. Look for adjustable mattress height

The cot should have at least two mattress height settings. You don’t want to be fishing a tiny newborn from the depths of the cot!

4. Teething rails

Babies turn into toddlers and many a designer crib has had its rails turned into mincemeat by a bout of teething. You can get transparent covers for this stage which will protect your investment.

5. Cots on wheels

Think about whether you want to have a cot with wheels or not. While castors do make it easier to move the cot around, they do also mean that the bed is generally less secure. Even when the wheels are firmly locked in position, older babies have been known to move their cot by standing on the mattress and shaking the sides of the cot – which can move them into a less safe position in their nursery.
