A Wooden Bedside Cot Offers Versatility and Safety A bedside crib made of wood is a safe and convenient option to bring your child closer to you while they're sleeping. It also has the flexibility of easily transitioning into a bassinet or a standalone crib. Some cot beds can be converted and feature adjustable mattress bases and side rails that can be removed. These options allow you to move your baby into an adult bed as they grow older. Safety A high-quality wooden bedside cot will be safe and sturdy. It will comply with European safety standards and be free of dangers such as drop-side mechanisms, soft toys, dangling cords, or slats that could be used as a foothold by climbing infants. It is free of dangles and stickers that can make babies choke or catch them. If you're using a cot you have used be sure that it's not painted with lead paint or features drop-side mechanisms. It must be clean and dry with a firm, breathable mattress that fits snugly without any gaps. It's also an excellent idea to purchase a new mattress for your cot, as older ones are more likely be sagging or too thin, creating a choking risk. Do not add extra items such as pillows and duvets since they increase the chance of the suffocation. The Lullaby Trust recommends that you ensure that the cot is free of all items that might distract or interfere with your baby's sleeping, such as toys, dangly mobiles and crib bumpers. Convenience Some cots, like the Leander Linea and Stokke Sleepi Mini come with an adjustable mattress base that can be adjusted so that you can keep your baby close during the night. You can also lower the base when your little one grows and begins to stand and stand, preparing for an independent routine of bedtime. Other convertible cots, such as the Comfy Cubs Wooden Bedside Bassinet Sleeper are designed to change from a crib for bed to a separate bassinet and finally to a toddler bed once your child is ready for the move. Pair your cot bed with baby-safe accessories to ensure complete security and ease of use. Design The design of a wooden bedside cot can be either traditional or modern. It can be finished with wood or white, which is ideal to create a neutral, minimalist design for your nursery. Some models come with an open drawer to aid in storage. Parents who wish to sleep next to their child can also opt for a co-sleeper crib. They can be easily transformed into a bassinet through the removal of the side rails. These beds are a convenient and safe choice for infants and babies who aren't ready to be moved into their own bed. Like all cribs, bedside cots need a variety of accessories to ensure that your baby is at ease. The most important is an airy and comfortable mattress protector to protect your baby from leaks or accidental spills. You can also include an extra blanket or cuddly toy for your baby to help him to relax. Durability Unlike cheaper materials like MDF and chipboard, solid wood cot beds are constructed to last. They're strong enough to withstand the demands of daily use and are less prone to off-gassing and therefore a safe option for your baby. They're also easy to disassemble and make it easier for parents to clean them. A wooden cot bed frame is also an attractive option for your nursery, with numerous designs available in white and other neutral shades to complement the other elements of the room. To create a cohesive design you can pair the white Moses basket with a foam mattress and bedding. Some cots and cot beds like the Leander Linea and the Stokke Sleepi Mini include a height-adjustable mattress base that can be lowered or raised to accommodate your child's changing needs. This will help your child develop independence by teaching them how to get in and out of bed independently. Solid wooden cots are an investment that will last for a long time, and are versatile enough to be used by a variety of children or passed on to future children. They are also ideal for families who love to change their rooms regularly. They can easily be adapted to new colours and aesthetics, without losing their function.
