A crib is an elevated bed for your child, which prevents them from falling out. They are available in a variety of styles, from bedside cribs (bassinet-style cots that are attached to the side of your bed to allow secure co-sleeping) to travel cots.

When selecting a cot be sure to choose one that meet safety standards. All cots should have bars that are no more than 6.5cm apart so that your baby's limbs aren't trapped. Also, check that the slats are firmly secured to prevent any loose or loose fastenings.

A good quality mattress for your cot is essential to ensure your baby's comfort. Select mattresses made of latex-coated coir or pocket springs that provide the most support and do not sag. It is worth investing in a waterproof cover as well because any dirt will go directly into the mattress and could make your baby sweaty or uncomfortable.

Some cots include additional features like adjustable inclines that ease reflux, and storage space for diapers (such as the Mamas&Papas Lua Bedside Cot). These can be a great option, but make sure to only buy additional items that are safe and are suitable for your baby.
