A cot will probably be your baby's bed until he is two or three years old. You can use your cot from the day your baby is born if you like although many parents choose a moses basket, crib, carry cot for the first few months, or have their babies in the same bed as them.

Cots come in many shapes and sizes, including corner shaped cots that sit neatly in the corner of the room, oval shaped cots that can be converted into a junior bed, chairs or even a sofa, later on. You can also buy bedside cots which can be useful for night-time feeds, as they have a removable side so you can put your baby's cot right next to your bed.

Most cots have drop sides, a railing which can be lowered to make it easier to get your baby in and out. They also have an adjustable base height, which can be adjusted as your baby grows. The base can be raised to the highest position for a young baby, so that you can lift him in and out of the cot easily. The base can then be lowered when your baby is old enough to pull himself up, so that he stays secure in the cot.

 

Many cots also have a teething rail which is a protective plastic coating around the edges of the cot sides, to prevent your baby chewing on the wooden slats of the cot when he is older.
