When choosing a cot bed, look for ones that meet safety standards. To prevent your baby's legs from getting trapped the cot should have bars that are no more than 6 centimeters apart. Check that the slats of your cot are securely fastened to avoid any loose or fittings that are rusty.

A good quality cot mattress is also key for your baby's comfort. Find pocket springs or latex coated coir mattresses, as these offer the best support and don't shrink like foams. You should also consider investing in an waterproof mattress cover since any dirt can get into the mattress and cause your baby to sweat or feel uncomfortable.

Some cots also come with extra bonuses that include gentle rocking movements to aid in settling your baby (like the SNOO Smarter Cot), adjustable inclines to ease reflux and storage for nappy essentials (like the Mamas&Papas Lua Bedside Cot).
