Hi Krissie,
oops, think my message is little confusing, I'm doing confinement at my parents' home, aka my home... hee hee. Still think of my parents' home as my home, coz I'm still part owner, hee hee.
So, 1st month, bb and me will be at my parents' home, where the playpen/cot will be. The wooden cot was intended for my new home, unless we put the wooden cot at my parents' home first, then after one month, bring it back to my new home? But bb will still need a place to sleep when she is at my parents's home in the day after the confinement and 3 month ML, coz my parents will be taking care of her hoh?
My thinking is if I still need another cot later on, I might as well get another one now, rather than spend money on a good mattress for playpen/cot which after maybe 6 months cannot be used for sleeping liao? That's why dilemna, coz like what you say, if bb insist on not sleeping in cot, then also waste money...
I agree with your hb, also wanna train bb to sleep in cot, cos we don't want her to co-sleep with us.
Which cot have you decided in the end to get? Daniel Cot? We were also thinking either Daniel ot TOm Craft, but in the end, saw the Taurus cot at Baby Kingdom at $269, and looked pretty solid, so got that one instead. The side rails given for the toddler bed also look good, so we figured cheaper than the TOm Craft one which we were eyeing initially.
