When do you lower the mattress in the cot?

[monnie]

Our little boy is now 8 months...and I'm wondering whether it's time to lower the mattress in the cot.

He can sit up from a lying position...

So...should we be lowering the mattress now?

[Janie]

Yep, I would be hun. I think DS was about 8 months when we did, and TBH we probably left it a bit late for him Too early is better than too late! I'm glad I didn't have to learn that lesson the hard way, but that was more good luck than good planning.

Yeah...I'm starting to worry about it...so I figure it's probably time.

We did try a few weeks ago, but he slept so badly I thought it might be due to the mattress...so we raised it again...but I think we need to lower it...I'd hate to learn the hard way!

I'll get DH on to it tomorrow!!!

Cheers!

Hello,

This may sound dumb, but what do you mean by lowering the matteres? (I have seen similar threads before as well and had the same blank thought ).

I am assuming that you can get cots with 2 heights for the matteress and as I only have one, don't need to worry, but thought I had better check in case I am missing something..

Thanks

Heather - some cots have different heights for the mattress...the wooden slats can be unscrewed and lowered once bubs is sitting up. Not all cots have this though, some only have the one height so that might be why you are a bit confused!! HtH
