So dd is due in 8 weeks and I'm having real problems picking which cot to buy. Ideally we'd like her next to me in a bedside crib to make night feeds etc easier. Neither of us are keen on co-sleeping personally and it seems like this is the next best thing. She'll be next to me but not in the same bed. But it seems like there aren't that many choices for us out there. We want a proper wooden one rather than the NCT type ones which we don't like the look of and are ludicrously expensive for what they are.
So anyway I've seen a couple on ebay and just wanted some thoughts on them. I think one with a side that goes up and down rather than no side would be better, does this really matter? How soon can babies roll over and therefore potentially roll into bed with us? Does this even happen? I'd really appreciate any thoughts, advice, anecdotes which would help me decide before I go mad before she's born. Then it's onto the pram... (we found one finally but the car seat doesn't fit our car:-( ) but that's for another thread! Thanks :-)
