When choosing a cot bed, look for ones that conform to safety regulations. To prevent your baby's legs from getting trapped, all cots should have bars that are not more than 6cm apart. Also, check that the slats are firmly fixed to prevent any loose or damaged fastenings.

It is important that your baby has a comfortable cot mattress. Select mattresses made of latex-coated coir or pocket springs, which offer the most support and don't sag. It's important to invest in a waterproof cover, too since any dirt or soil will get into the mattress and could cause your baby to sweat or be uncomfortable.

Some cots come with additional features like adjustable inclines to ease reflux, and storage space for nappy necessities (such as the Mamas&Papas Lua Bedside Cot). These can be a wonderful addition, but remember to only purchase additional items that are safe and are suitable for your baby's.
