As a new parent you'll very quickly find that your life rotates around one important aspect of your baby's routine - their sleep. So, we're going to take a look at a question asked by many parents - what should baby sleep in?
you should put your baby to sleep in the same room as you in a separate cot or Moses basket until they are six months old. This arrangement has the lowest chance of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome . Some parents may decide they'd prefer to use a side-sleeper with their newborn or want to try co-sleeping.
Any surface your baby sleeps on should be flat, firm and waterproof. Sleeping a baby on a soft surface can increase the risk of SIDS as they make it harder for babies to lose body heat and maintain a safe temperature. Here we've listed all the options for where baby can sleep, plus the advantages and disadvantages of each:To co-sleep or not to co-sleep is a very personal choice. Thousands of parents co-sleep in the UK and do it safely. Even parents who decide not to co-sleep may find it sometimes happens accidentally, dozing off after a feed for example. In fact half of babies in the UK will have slept in their parent's bed by the time they're three months old.
Cots come in a wide range of different designs, and can vary enormously in price. If you choose a cot bed, factor in that you’re saving yourself the cost of a toddler bed, so expect to pay more than the price of a standard cot. A cot is also the centrepiece of your baby’s nursery – after all, this is where they're going to sleep until around three years old, so go for something that will last and that you like as well.
