Bedside cot if our bed is low?

[minipie]

DD1 is arriving in December (all being well) and I am looking for a cot.

I like the idea of one where her mattress will lie alongside our mattress with no barrier in between, I think these are called bedside cots?

However our bed is quite low - a little bit like this one. So, I would need one where the cot base can go pretty low to match.

Ideally I would like one that is big enough to last a long time.

I see that Ikea does removable side cots. Does anyone know how low the base of those can go?

Also, silly question, but with a bedside cot how do you make sure your duvet doesn't flop over into the baby's cot during the night? Do you have to tuck your duvet down the side or something?

thanks Julez - did you have to attach the cot to your bed in some way or did it stay put?

I wedged cot in between bed as wall :) it couldn't move anywhere :)

Ah, yes we could do that. But does that mean you had to climb across your bed every time you wanted to put DC into/out of their cot?

I took him up with me when he was smaller anyway but they sleep feet t the bottom p the cot anyway to prevent slipping down under covers :) so I leaned over bottom of cot when I had to. We moved cot to bottom of the bed with both sides on once he was mobile x
