So I'm a little lost. DF and I were planning on just buying a cot with an adjustable base, then Mum told us she still has the bassinet we used as babies and we could have that. Now DF's Aunt has told me about a hammock that's for sale fairly cheap. After having a look around I'm just feeling a little overwhelmed and have no idea what is actually going to be best for our baby. Looking at cost alone, getting a cot/bassinet is going to be best, but it's not just about the cost. Obviously I don't want to throw money away for nothing, but I do want what will be be best for our baby.

Any advice?
