bought a cotbed for DS... but it was a bit rubbish and the bars fell off! neways... he was being a nusiance and getting older..so we just wanted a cot for a few more months and actually got mothercares cheapest..which was 60 pounds and its FAB!!gonna use it for baby number 2 hopefully as its rock solid and great! altho mattresses r defo numero uno priority... if u wana good nights sleep u want baby comfy so make sure u buy from a reputable company (cotbed was from some brand in the babyshow.. altho as a bed its great!!) and get a nice mattress...!![]

o and i found those bibs that u have to tie a knot with are awful wen u got a crying baby and are struggling..and also velcro was a no no..as Ds was able to pull it off.. the metal button ones wer the best.. but initially get either velcro or button...side buttons are the best for ease... last thing u wana be doing is tying an accurate knot on a bib on a chiuld crying the house down forhis feed (tip: newborns arent perfect lil angels as portrayed on tv.. wen they wana feed..they want it NOWWWW!!!)[]

just hada thought..do u put bibs on newborsn..im sure u do? my brain is so frazzled! sorry for any stupid advice..im sure someone will slap some sense in me soon.

Ooh... actually our cot might have been the �60 one from Mothercare. I just remember that I didn't like many of them and it was nice and simple and clean looking with no fancy bits and happened to be the cheapest they had. Its got a drop side which I was dead set on getting but to be honest we've not used it that much and wouldn't worry about it if we ever needed to buy a new cot. The base is adjustable so before the baby can sit up and move about you can have the mattress really high up if you want.
Shona... I think you're meant to take the cot top changers off when the baby is in there.
Faiza... we only started using bibs when Daisy was dribbling like a demon when her 1st few teeth were coming through at about 5 mths. There was so much dribble otherwise, that her clothes would be soaked through in a matter of minutes. (Plastic backed bibs are best in that situation ) )
