I used a cot with both the girls. I would love a cradle or even bassinette, but always thought there is no point coz they get too big too fast. I would like to try to get a cradle this time around though. Bri was born in winter & used a roll thing with her - she also had colic, so it kinda helped with that too. I used two bumpers around the cot to kinda warm it up a bit.

I can't use a bassinette, not allowed too. MIL lost a baby to SIDS in a bssinette when he got wedged down the side of the mattress. Sounds horrible I know, but she made me promise I would never use one. I've always used the pram or a bouncer to have them around the house with me.
