It's worth noting that while a bassinet can be used in lieu of a traditional cot but Red Nose strongly recommends sleeping your baby in their crib from birth until six months.

They're also typically larger, meaning they can be converted into full-size and toddler beds as your child grows - which can save you money in the long term.

Be aware that cot bedside beds tend to be more expensive than bassinets, but can be a good investment, as they last for years and can be used as your baby moves from infancy into adulthood and beyond.
