Cot Or Cotbed??

Well, today I've done my list for my
hospital bag and list of things I need to
get. I'm only 22 weeks pregnant but
money's tight so wanna aim to start
getting the big things over the next 10
weeks. I don't know whether or not to get
a cot or cotbed. My girl is gunna be in my
room for the first 6 months in her moses
basket for 4 months then I'll bring her
cot or cotbed from her nursery into my
room for another 2 months then she'll go
into her own room at 6 months. But what
worked for you? Cot or cotbed? I've got
quite a bit of clothes, changing mat,
bath, bottles, steriliser, bathing stuff
and other bits and bobs so far.

Well as you know i'm having .Mika in a
moses basket untill she's too big for it
and then into a cot. I know that my mum
had a cotbed for us and really really
didn't like it, it was just too bulky for
her. It's tottaly your preffernce though
alot of people like them because it works
out cheaper but then again if you have to
buy a cotbed which is generally more
expesive than a regular cot and then
another bed because the cotbed isn't big
enough after a while then it can work out
more expensive

I think so yeah. Basically a cot is just
used for when they're little up to about
the age of two and a cot bed can adjusted
to turn into a bed but will obviously be
smaller than a bed you would buy

like bridget i don't know the difference
between the two...but also consider that
your baby might not fit in a moses basket
for 4 months.

That's what mine looks like but what you
call a bassinet is also called a moses
basket i think, too much confusion between
the country's lol

Yep i think both are called a moses basket
(i could be mistaken though) bassinets are
pretty rare over here though it's mainly
either a moses basket or cot

moses basket for the first few months and
then a cotbed- get your moneys worth!
