Cots & Cribs

[lollystick]

LO is only 2 1/2 weeks and sleeps in a moses basket at night next to our bed but will soon be grown out of it with the rate he is going!

In his room we have a cotbed built and set up but it won't come out of the room without being dismantled and then re-built in our room etc..

I'm thinking i's probably alot easier and less fuss to buy a small, simple cot from online or something & move him into his "proper" cot in his room when he's 6 months - just wondered what other people do/did.

This thread is a little old now so some of the suggestions may be out of date, but if you’ve landed here looking for a crib or bedside co-sleeper, we’ve recently updated our best cribs page with lots of great options, as tried and tested by Mumsnet users and their babies. We hope you find it useful.

We bought the M&P's crib & DD stayed in it till just after 1St birthday & them went into cot in her room. Worked very well. I miss having her next to me though.

I had a crib at the bedside which lasted til about 4.5 months, then the travel cot with a mattress for another month-6 weeks til we were ready to put him in his cotbed in his bedroom. A small cot would work as well. Depends what space you have really.

had a co-sleeper cot in our room and a proper big cotbed in his room. We got this one, it's a bit larger than most co-sleepers and lasted us well (DS was a 95 percentile for length) www.amazon.de/FabiMax-Beistellbett-Babymax-Matratze-PROTECT/dp/B009WQFPJ4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1399979658&sr=8-1&keywords=fabimax

We bought a cheap cot from ikea to go in our room when we made the first timers error of setting up the huge complicated cotbed in ds room before he was born!! I think it was £40ish!

We did exactly that - DS is in a kiddicare compact cot in our room but about to move into his own room any day now woohoo!
