Hi Everyone

I just cannot decide on which is best. Does anyone have any recommendations? Are the bedside dots worth it, do I just get a normal cot?!

I liked ours (Nedula red kite) , but we tried two next-to-me's first and they both tilted towards the bed. Meaning baby rolled onto her belly at 7 weeks in her sleep.
So take a carefull look at the legs and straps before you choose one.

It’s hard to tell what kind of baby you’re going to get. Neither of mine would sleep alone until they were 8 months old so the cosleeping cot became a storage space and the baby slept in our bed.

I loved our next to me (the dream model). Yes you do have to make sure you fit it properly to stop rolling etc, and if you have a baby that hates it that would be annoying.

A lot of people have converted a cot bed into the 3 sided configuration and tied to the bed.

If I had my time again I would have the next to me from day 1, so useful
