Re: Baby cot
If you ask me the cot better or playpen better? I think I will say definately cot. Not only becoz it's more stable but it can be use for longer time. I have bought one cot for my #1 last time from mums & babes (cost about $300) which have the following functions"-
1) is moveable which come with 4 lockable (removable) wheels (make sure the cot you bought is not too big so that you can move it out from your room to the living hall. I usually let my boy sleep in the living hall in the afternoon coz my mum said not good to always sleep in aircon room. Therefore daytime we on fan/nature air for my boy).
2) changeable to various levels (heights) in accodance to the babys growing stages
- the highest level is bed + diaper changing area.
- second level (lower down) is suitable when the baby starting to flip
- 3rd level is suitable during their stadning stage where the height is just nice for their support to stand up and walk around
- last lever is the deepest one which prevent the baby to climb out of the cot
3) convertable to toddler's bed in the later stage
4) one hand easy operated door - bear in mind that when you carry your baby with one hand and you only left another hand to open the door/fence, so this function is important
valnsw,
My mum bought one playpen for my boy at her place. I never use it once my boy able to stand. reason being:-
1) too soft and whenever my boy try to stand up by holding to the 'wall' of the playpen, he started to fall again as it is too soft
2) not stable as my boy like to move around and the playpen seems very shaky.
3) cannot lower to various level according to your baby's growing stages (if not mistaken only 2 stages which is the diaper changing level and the bottom of the playpen)
As what your MIL said the cot is hard and baby can knock his head. Dun worry, I bought the cot protector to surround the inner side of the cot, so far no problem. My 2 cents worth, hope it helps.
