When selecting a cot make sure you choose one that meet safety standards. To stop your baby's legs from getting trapped in the cot, it is recommended that all cots have bars that are no more than 6 centimeters apart. Also, make sure that the slats are securely secured to prevent any loose or loose fastenings.

It is important that your baby has a mattress that is comfortable for their cot. Look for pocket springs or latex-coated Coir mattresses, since they offer the best support and won't slide like foams. It's worthwhile to invest in a waterproof cover, too, as any soiling will be absorbed directly into the mattress and cause your baby to sweat or be uncomfortable.

Some cots come with extra bonuses, such as gentle rocking motions to help settle your baby (like the SNOO Smarter Cot) and adjustable inclines to ease reflux and storage for nappy essentials (like the Mamas&Papas Lua Bedside Cot). These are fantastic accessories, but only buy items that are safe and suitable for your child.
