When I had ds 1 I bought a second hand next to me crib. I bought a new mattress for it.

I was told you shouldn't use a second hand mattress. Not that I would have.

I'm now due to have dc2. I will use next to me crib again then baby will take over ds cot and ds will move into a bed.

Should I buy new mattresses again? They will technically be second hand, but only by baby's brother.

That's what I'm thinking.

I'm not sure why they say don't use second hand mattress. If it's for hygeane then I might just steam it. But if it's somthing to do with SIDS because of the intergrety then obvs I'll get a new one.
