Safety
A safe sleeping environment is a must and a major aspect to consider when choosing a crib. Make sure the mattress is snugly fitted, with no gap between it and the cot/cot beds edges or sides (big gaps can trap your child's head or arms). Check that it's firm and thin - thicker mattresses aren't recommended, since they could increase the risk of SIDS. There are many companies that offer mattresses made of various materials, from foam to natural materials that are great for those suffering from allergies. Some even have an anti-microbial treatment. If your cot has a drop-side, make sure it is secured and in the upward position.
A drop side should be allowed to fall only if an adult is present - to prevent accidental release. Avoid placing your cot on a wall if it has a solid end. This could restrict airflow, which can result in death of the coffin. Recent research suggests that slatted ends may be safer since they permit more airflow.
If your cot is set on one side, then you can choose it. It will be the most secure option for your child when they start to crawl and then pull themselves upwards. If your child is confidently climbing and standing, it's time to upgrade to a junior bed.
Some cots are equipped with an option that allows the base to be raised to three different levels. This is a fantastic safety measure and enables the cot of your child to grow with the child. Other cots offers come with footplates that are adjustable, which is ideal for toddlers who wish to stand up in their bed.
When you put your child in their cot, check that there is no visible danger. It must be kept away from heaters and windows, power points and blind cords and curtains (these are a strangulation hazard). If you're purchasing second-hand or heirloom furniture be sure to look for any hazards to choking such as stickers and transfers that may be removed and create a risk.
If you're unsure of what you should do to use your cot, ask other parents for help or take part in an local NCT New Baby class. If your cot comes with a manual ensure that you read it before using it and follow the instructions.
