A Wooden bedside crib that turns into cot Cot Offers Versatility and Safety

A wooden bedside cot is a secure and practical way to bring your newborn bedside cot closer to you during your sleep time. It can also be used for multiple purposes, easily converting into a bassinet or standalone crib.

Some cot beds are convertible and feature adjustable mattress bases and removable side rails. These options allow you to move your baby into the bed of a toddler as they grow older.

Safety

A sturdy and secure wooden rocking bedside crib cot is a mark of good quality. It will comply with European safety standards and be free of hazards, such as drop-side mechanisms or soft toys. It will also be free from the kind of dangles and stickers that can catch or choke infants. If you're using a cot that is used, make sure it is not painted with lead paint or features a drop-side mechanism. It must be dry and clean with a firm air-conditioned mattress that fits comfortably and doesn't have any gaps.

A new mattress is also recommended for the cot as older mattresses are more prone to sag or be too thin. This can pose the risk of choking. It is a good idea to not add extra items such as pillows and duvets as they increase the chance of suffocation or spraining. The Lullaby Trust advises you to ensure that your baby's crib is free of any items that may distract or interfere with their sleep, such as toys such as dangley cot bumpers and dangly mobiles.

Convenience

Some cots, like the Leander Linea or Stokke Sleepi Mini are equipped with a height-adjustable mattress base that lets you keep your baby close by during bedtime. You can lower the base once your child gets older and becomes capable of standing up, preparing for a routine that is independent. Other convertible cots such as the Comfy Cubs Wooden Bedside Bassinet sleeper are made to convert from a crib into the bassinet and then to a toddler's travel cot bedside when your child becomes capable. Pair your cot bed with baby-safe items to ensure security and ease of use.

Design

A bedside cot made of wood can be found in traditional and modern designs. It can be finished with wood or white which is ideal to create a neutral, simple nursery. Some models come with an open drawer to aid in storage.

Co-sleeper cots are another excellent alternative for parents who want to sleep with their child. These beds can be easily transformed into a bassinet by the removal of the side rails. These beds are a practical and safe solution for newborns and babies who aren't quite ready to move into theiruture babies. They're also a great choice for families who like to redecorate their bedrooms frequently, as they can easily be altered to accommodate new colour designs and styles without sacrificing their functionality.
