A Wooden bedside rocking crib Cot Offers Versatility and Safety
A wooden bedside cot is a secure and practical option to bring your child closer to you during sleep time. It’s also adaptable and easily converts into a bassinet or crib.
Some cots are convertible with adjustable mattress bases as well as removable rails. These beds let your baby gradually transition to an adult bed as they get older.
Safety
A sturdy and safe wooden bedside cot is an indication of good quality. It will comply with European safety standards and will be free of dangers such as drop-side mechanisms soft toys, dangling cords or slats that could be used as a foothold by climbing babies. It’s also free from the kind of dangles and other stickers that could choke or catch infants. If you’re using a secondhand crib, make sure whether it’s not been painted with lead paint or drop side mechanisms. It should be clean and dry with a firm mattress that is breathable and fits snugly and doesn’t have any gaps.
A new mattress is recommended for the cot since older mattresses are more likely to sag or be too thin. This could create an choking risk. Avoid adding extra items like pillows and duvets as they increase the risk of being suffocated. The Lullaby Trust advises you to ensure that your baby’s crib is free of any items that may cause distraction or disrupt their sleep, including toys, dangley cot bumpers, and dangley mobiles.
Convenience
Some cots such as the Leander Linea and Stokke Sleepi Mini have an adjustable mattress base that can be adjusted to allow you to keep your baby close during the night. You can lower the base as your child grows and begins to stand to prepare for an independent routine at bedtime. Other convertible cots, for instance the Comfy Cubs Wooden Bedside Bassinet Sleeper are designed to change from a crib for bed to a standalone bassinet and finally, an adult bed when your child is ready for the transition. Pair your cot bed with baby bedside cot-safe items to ensure security and ease of use.
Design
The design of the bedside crib with changing table cot made of wood can be either traditional or modern. It can be finished in white or wood which is ideal for creating a neutral and clean nursery design. Some models include storage drawers.
Parents who wish to sleep with their child can opt for a co-sleeper crib. These beds can easily be transformed into a bassinet by the removal of the side rails. They are a great and safe option for infants and babies who aren’t ready to move into their own bed.
Like all cribs, a bedside cot needs various accessories to ensure your baby is comfortable and well-taken care of. A soft mattress cover that is breathable and comfortable is essential to shield your baby from leaks and spills. Add a blanket or cuddly toy for your baby to help them relax.
Durability
Solid wood cot beds are constructed to last for a long time, unlike cheap materials like MDF or chipboard. They’re sturdy enough to withstand the demands of daily use and are less prone to releasing off-gasses making them an ideal choice for your child. They are also easy to take apart and make it easier for parents to clean them.
Many designs are available in neutral colours and white to complement the rest of your nursery. To create a harmonious design, you can match a white Moses basket with a foam mattress and bedding. Some cots and cot beds, such as the Leander Linea and the Stokke Sleepi Mini include an adjustable mattress base that can be adjusted to lower or raise to suit your child’s growing needs. This will help them develop independence by teaching them how to get in and out of bed independently.
Solid wooden cots are a wise investment that will stand the test of time, and they’re versatile enough to be used by many children or handed down to future babies. These cots are also great for families who want to change their rooms regularly. They can easily be modified to new color schemes and design, but without sacrificing their utility.
