Dear All Sifus,

Any advise and personal experience on Baby Cot?

Where's the best place to buy?

Thanks.

got mine from ikea. standard size, easy to get required parts such as mattress, bed sheet, bumper pad. dont get the cheapest one though, it looks flimsy, don't get the most expensive one either, not worth the money in my opinion. Preferably buy those that can change height.

Thanks. Ya I went to Ikea and survey all the cots available. A little bit concern is the material used is MDF, since is my first kid, I thought of invest 1 made by solid wood....what ya think? Also I prefer those with wheel base option, just in case I need to move it to other room..

buy based on your height, if you're tall then ikea's cot might not suit you.

ikea's cot is slightly lower, if you tall and keep having to bend over to get your baby, your back will ache in no time.

True, looking for something higher....Both my wife and I above 5.5 ft...lolx..

I saw some ads on Facebook about the baby cot made from solid wood. But I have the habit of forgetting the page name. Sorry. I am thinking of buying a baby cot too since this is my first pregnancy. But my friend said don't buy lah. Waste of money. Your baby won't sleep in the cot. bla bla bla... So I am still scratching my head rn on whether to buy or not to buy.

Ya, i go get some saying that baby wouldn't want to sleep in the cot...However I still prefer baby to sleep inside the cot for safety purposes. Unless my kid really doesn't like it lar...

I will share here if I manage to find one.

why not go have a look at those baby shops like little whiz, babyland or jarrons & co?

then can decide from there.

Yeap, schedule to go little whiz & babyland this weekend...That's why asking all the sifus for tips in choosing the right one...likely we are going for those convertible into a single bed type....saw few online..

True that. For safety purposes, unless you have a super super king bed. Which I don't. Lol. And some cot can be turned to a co sleeper which I find very useful since you can have your baby sleep next to you just like sleeping on the same bed. I think this is worth the buy lah.

Ya, that's the main reason to buy a cot, is either let the husband sleep on the floor, or we try to place the baby to sleep in the cot. Safer also...

Solid wood, wheel base, adjustable side with safety pin and with teething rail...

I havent assemble the cot yet, but it looks something like the picture below...

Hope it helps guys...
