Safety
A safe and secure sleeping environment is a must and a major consideration when choosing a cot. Make sure that the mattress fits snugly, with no gap between it and the cot/cot bed sides or ends (big gaps can trap your child's head or arms). Verify that the mattress is not too firm and thin. Mattresses that are thick can increase the risk of SIDS. Many companies offer a choice of mattresses, ranging from basic foam to natural substances for allergy sufferers. Some contain anti-microbial treatments. If your cot features drop-sides, ensure that it is secured and in the up position.
Drop sides should only be permitted to fall when an adult is in the room. This prevents accidental release. Avoid placing your cot on walls if it has a solid end. This will limit airflow, which could lead to coffin death. According to the latest research, cots with slatted ends could be safer as they permit more airflow.
If your cot is fixed to one side, you should choose it. It will be the most secure option for your baby as they begin to crawl and pull themselves up. When your child is confidently standing and climbing, it is a sign that they are ready to move into the junior bed.
Some cots have a feature that allows the base to be raised up to three levels. This is a wonderful security measure that allows your child's cot to expand with them. Other cots come with footplates that are adjustable, which is ideal for toddlers wanting to sit up in their bed.
Whenever you place your child in their cot, make sure whether there is no obvious danger - it should be away from heaters or windows, power points and blind cords and curtains (these can be strangulation hazards). If you're buying 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 peel off and present a risk.
If you're unsure of what you should do to use your cot, consult other parents for advice or go to an local NCT New Baby class. If your cot comes with a guide ensure that you go through it prior to using it and adhere to the instructions.
