It is not essential to have a cot but it can provide a secure and restraining environment for your baby. A camp cot has the advantage of being a ‘bed away from home’ when necessary, often making sleep issues easier when visiting. It is also transportable around the home and usually takes up less space. The ideal camp cot is one in which the mattress height is adjustable so that you can have Baby close to your bed at night, almost as an extension to your bed. A camp cot should be quite big to accommodate a growing baby, as you will probably be using it for quite a while, and also to prevent climbing-out accidents. Similarly, a cot should be roomy enough to deal with these challenges. A roomy cot will also mean that your baby does not need to move on to a bed too soon, which often heralds the end of going to bed easily at night. Of course, many babies often end up sleeping more in their parents’ beds at night than in their own. This is fine, as it often means more secure little ones and less hassles at night for the parents, especially moms!
