The excitement definitely gets more and more once your little one is on their way to make their entry down your house. By now, all the preparations have already begun and you must have started going out shopping to find out the best fit for your newborn.

There are many essential things that one has to take care of and buy before the arrival of their newborn. One such important item is newborn sleep cots where they are going to spend most of their times. There are many different things which as a parent you need to take care of but what to buy for newborns sleep should be your primary concern.

You are sure to be baffled when it comes to choosing the best sleeping area for your newborn as your excitement is not going to know any bounds. So, this guide right here will tell you everything about newborn sleep cots and how to get the best one for your little one.

What to buy for newborns sleep?

SIDS is very common and to reduce the risk of it, you must keep your baby in the same room as your parents for the early six months. It totally depends on your budget and on the size of it. So, here the types of beds that you might want to consider for your newborn.

Sleep cots:

When you are finally done with choosing the most comfortable cot for your kid, your baby is going to use it for the longest time that they can. Therefore, go for a model that is strong and sturdy and you will want it to end for at least a year or two.

You can also opt for a cot bed which has a size generally bigger than the usual cots. You can also go for buying separators if you don’t want an extra bed. Place them in a horizontal position to make the newborn sleep cots more comfortable.

Moses Basket:

For the first few days, your baby is sure to opt for a Moses basket over a cot. Moses basket is durable and is made out of expensive wicker. Generally, all baskets come with bedding set and mattresses.

They are very secure and lightweight which makes carrying them around quite easy and convenient.

Carrycot:

Newborn sleep cots often turn out to be the best but another alternative is a carrycot. This will increase the speed of your baby’s bed and is usually small than that of a newborn. If you are going for a carrycot, you can save a lot of your penny too as there are no separate baskets required for the whole thing.

Crib:

Newborn sleep cots are generally bigger than cribs and cribs have a wood finish. This also makes it suitable for newborns and makes it convenient for them to use. Most of the cribs come with sliding and rocking option that you can use to put your baby to sleep in no time.

Up to six months, cribs serve the purpose just right and add are much worthy than Moses basket. However, it is not very easy to move cribs from one place to another and is costlier.

Hammock:

A baby hammock is more like a sling that hangs directly from a frame of metal. They are a complete package and bring along mattresses, mattress cover, and sheets.

Hammocks also bring along a peaceful and soothing environment for one to be a part of and help young newborns to settle down really quick. One big disadvantage would be the fact that they are quite on the expensive side and within a few months’ time, your baby will outgrow themselves.

What age to switch to a toddler bed?

There is no fixed time for you to switch your newborn to a toddler bed. However, for most kids, the switch takes place usually during the age of 1.5 to 3.5. However, the best thing to do would be to wait until your newborn reaches the age group of 3 years. This is primarily because the preferences vary according to their age.

Anyway, you will definitely have to put your newborn to toddler bed once they start growing up. For most parents, the reason behind switching their newborn to a toddler bed is because they are worried about their activities that involve jumping or going out of the crib.

Lower down the mattresses of the crib instead of directly switching them to a toddler bed. Therefore, don’t rush out to immediately go for a toddler bed. Give it some time and make sure that your little one is finally ready to move out of their bed.

Is it good to use the cradle for babies?

Well, this is completely personal preference. However, there are many advantages associated with a cradle for babies. When you have a tiny baby, they will seem much cosier when they are put off in a cradle. So, if a crib has no extra bedding, there are chances that they will look more uncomfortable in that.

Where do you put a baby in a cot?

A crib, Moses basket, or newborn sleep cots don’t really matter a lot. What matters the most is the sleeping position of your baby. The feet of the baby should be right down the bottom and the bedsheets should be tightly tucked in the armpits. This is what we call feet to foot and what generally helps the baby to avoid slipping, getting overheated, or suffocation.

For most of the parents, when the kids are sleeping sideways or on entirely on their tummy, consider it to be the comfortable position for the baby. However, newborn sleep cots don’t usually function in the manner. Babies are completely safe when they are lying right on their back and this position is what reduces the chance of SIDS – Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, which happens usually in newborns and reason behind the death is unidentified. It is also known as cot death.

The article dealt with newborn sleep cots and the best available options for newborns. Along with that, you also get the idea about what to buy for newborns sleep and where do you put a baby in a cot. Make sure to take extra precautions when it comes to newborns and making selections for them.
