Comfort

There are many mattresses available that include coil springs, foam and other natural materials suitable for allergy sufferers, so do your research before deciding on the best one for your baby's needs.

It doesn't matter if you pick a standard cot or a convertible cot the mattress is crucial to ensure your the comfort. It must provide the right support and promote a healthy posture. The slats must be firmly attached, and not sagging. The slats must also be securely attached to the frame, so your child isn't stuck in them while they move in their sleep.

If you're not sure what mattress to purchase, talk to friends and family or check online reviews for recommendations. Choose breathable mattresses, as they can aid in regulating your body temperature and are less likely to hold bacteria.

Look for a cot which is in compliance with the strict UK safety standard and can easily be transformed into a toddler's bed when it's time. This information can be found in the product description and key specifications.

Safety

When choosing a cot a safe sleeping environment should be a priority. The mattress should be able to fit snugly and there shouldn't be gaps between the mattress and the edges or sides of the cot/cot-bed (large gaps could trap the child's arms or head). Check that it's firm and thin. Thicker mattresses aren't recommended, because they can increase the risk of SIDS. There are many companies that offer mattresses made of a variety of materials from foam to natural materials that are good for those suffering from allergies. Some even have an anti-microbial treatment. If your cot has drop-sides, make sure it is secured and in the up position.

A drop side should only be allowed to drop only when an adult is present; this will prevent accidental releases. If your coffin has a solid bottom, avoid placing it against the wall since it will block airflow and can cause death in the coffin. According to the latest research, slatted end cots are safer since they allow for greater airflow.

If your cot is fixed to one side, you should choose it. It's the most secure option for your baby as they start to crawl and pull themselves up. Once your child is standing and climbing, it is a sign they're ready to transition into a junior bed.

Some cots come with a feature that allows the base to be raised up to three levels. This is a great security measure that allows your child's cot to expand with the child. Some cots have footplates that can be adjusted to suit for toddlers who like to stand up.

Whenever you place your child in their cot, make sure that there is no visible danger. It should be away from heaters or power points, windows, curtains and blind cords (these pose a strangulation risk). If you're buying furniture from a secondhand store or an heirloom piece, check for hazards to choking such as stickers and transfer tapes that could be removed and create danger.

If you are unsure about how to use your cot, consult other parents for advice or attend a local NCT New Baby class. If your cot comes with a guide be sure to go through it before using it and follow the directions.
