Find cot beds that meet safety regulations. To prevent your baby's legs from becoming trapped in the cot, it is recommended that all cots have bars that are no more than 6cm apart. Check that the slats of your cot are securely fastened to prevent any loose or fittings that are rusty.

It is crucial that your baby sleeps on a comfortable cot mattress. Choose mattresses with latex-coated coir or pocket springs that provide the best support and don't sag. It is also recommended to invest in a waterproof mattress cover, as any dirt will get into the mattress and cause your child to sweat or feel uncomfortable.

Some cots are also equipped with additional features like gentle rocking motions to help your baby settle (like the SNOO Smarter Cot), adjustable inclines that ease reflux, and storage for nappy essentials (like the Mamas&Papas Lua Bedside Cot). These are a great alternative, but be sure to only purchase additional items that fit safely and are suitable for your baby's.

No matter which cot is chosen, make sure that it complies with the rules that apply to your baby's age as well as your home. The spacing between bars shouldn't be more than 6.5cm (two inches) which will keep children from snagging their heads. Also the surface shouldn't be rough to prevent being suffocated. You'll need a crib mattress that fits perfectly and has no gaps around the edges. It must also be made from breathable materials in order to regulate your baby's body temperature.
