Hi all
Just wondering if any of you can share your experiences putting newborns straight into a cot from day one. I know that cots are perfectly fine for newborns, but most people around me are suggesting I get a bassinet or cradle for the early months - but I really can't justify spending the money when things are tight and bubs will go into a cot at 2-3 months anyway? I am planning on having the cot set up in our room for a short while then once we have our sleeping / feeding routines settled move bubs and cot into their own room.

Any thoughts would be great. A pretty cradle or bassinet would be nice and much more compact for our room, but I really cant afford it right now. Plus, I figure if bubs settles in a cot from day one, we won't have to worry about any transition issues later down the track.

Lolly
