The best time to move a baby from a Moses basket or crib to a cot is between four and six months, or until your baby starts to push up onto their hands and knees and sits unaided.
What is the difference between a crib and a cot?
Crib and cot both refer to a small bed that is specially made for infants and young children. The key difference between crib and cot stems from their usage; the term cot is mainly used in British English whereas the term crib is often used in American English. There is no other difference between a crib and a cot.
Can newborns sleep in a cot straight away?
Cots are suitable for newborns up to around 3-4 years of age. A bassinet is suitable from newborn to around 4-6 months of age when they start to roll or sit. At this stage, you should transfer them to a cot. Therefore, when you consider the first 4 years of your child’s life, you will need to buy a cot.
Where should the baby sleep during the day?
Don’t overstress about where to nap your baby during the day at home. Either the crib, bassinet, pack-n-play, baby box, or even your arms will do! Ideally, you want your baby to be comfortable in his usual sleeping area so it’s sometimes suggested to have your baby nap in his crib or bassinet even during the day.
