Safety
A high-quality wooden bedside baby sleeper cot will be safe and durable. 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 infants. It is free of dangles or stickers that could make babies choke or catch them. If you're using a secondhand cot, you must ensure that it's not been sprayed with leaded paint or had an adjustable side mechanism. It must be clean and dry with a comfortable, air-conditioned mattress that fits comfortably, with no gaps.
It's also recommended to buy a new mattress to put in the cot, as older ones are more likely to have sagging or be too thin, creating an increased risk of choking. It is a good idea to avoid adding extra things like pillows and duvets since they can increase the risk of suffocation, or spraining. The Lullaby Trust advises you to keep your baby's cot free of anything that might distract or interfere with their sleep, including toys and dangley cot bumpers and dangley mobiles.
