Sleeping arrangements

[Megankate2112]

My daughter is 10 weeks old and weighing 12 pounds, she's also very long! Her last measurement she was 57cm. I don't think she will be able to sleep much longer in a Moses basket as she likes to stretch out. I'm worried about putting her in the cot in her own room because I don't want her sleeping on her own yet I'm worried she's too young (the cot is far too big to move into our room) what would people recommend?

The benefit of a proper cot is that you can make the mattress height higher, so no lowering baby right down to the bottom.

Depends on the cot. Ours was a 1950s original and had a drop side but fixed base.

Drop side cots are really useful. But low mattress heights not so. I guess that's why most modern cots have adjustable heights.

Being able to match the cot mattress height to your bed mattress height, then drop the side, makes for a fantastic extension of your bed for baby.

We have a superking bed. She just came in that. No need to extend with a cot.
