When do you lower the mattress in the cot?

Thanks Tan.

We only have one level. If I do happen to have 2, have only noticed and used the low one so no probs.. Might check it out just for interest though.

We left it late to lower the base. DS could already pull himself up on things (he was doing this from about 51/2 -6mths old). Walked in to his room one morning, there he was moving himself back and forward standing waiting for us.... It was time! We were worried he'd fall out...

The health nurse had said from when they're able to sit up on their own, then you lower the base. HTH

I never had the DD's cot in the top position!!! I thought at the time of putting it together that I will need to pull it all apart AGAIN and lower it down once DD starts standing and pulling herself up - so I just put it on the lower position from birth LOL How slack hey!

We moved the cot down when DS was about 6 months old, he was a big baby though and couldn't sit up without help or pull himself up. I thought it would be annoying to have him lower down but it didn't make a difference really...

Yep, once they can sit themselves up, it's time to lower the base.

DD can sit up on her own but not from a lying positiong so is she okay? She really doesn't move too muhc in cot other than moving diagonally so I think she's okay. I imagine when she can pull herself up we'll change it then.

DS's cot says to lower it when they start to sit up.. thats when we did it for him.
