Cots and bedding

Your baby’s sleeping needs will change quite quickly as he grows - it’s useful to have your newborn baby in a portable, snug sleeping place such as a Moses basket or pram carrycot, so that you can move him without waking him. But once he reaches four to six months he will need to move into a cot.

Over the first year the very least you will need is a cot, mattress and bedding. This list also includes some of the other things you might want to consider:

• Cot or cot bed
• Travel cot
• Moses basket
• Swinging crib
• Mattress
• Bedding
• Cot accessories
