When looking for a new baby bedside cot, it's important to consider your budget and the size of your nursery or bedroom when you select a model. Be aware that cot beds tend to be more expensive than bassinets, but can be a good investment, as they last for years and can be used as your child transitions from infanthood to the age of childhood and beyond.

It's also worth remembering that you'll need a mattress for your baby's crib or bedside. It's essential that the mattress is firm, flat and ventilated to help your baby get a good night's rest and lower the chance of developing pressure sores or breathing problems. Be wary of second-hand mattresses as these may increase the risk of your child developing SIDS. Be sure you select one that has been endorsed by the CPSC and is in line with the latest guidelines. Be cautious not to overload the crib or use duvets or pillows, bumpers, or baby positioners. They could be a suffocation risk. A mattress that is breathable for babies should be sufficient in firmness to provide support for your baby's spine. There are a variety of baby mattresses online, from budget options to more expensive brands. If you're unsure, visit a store and try some out for yourself.
