we just went straight into the cot - they do look funny though. He enjoyed being wrapped until the weather got to hot and was a good sleeper so it was no hassle plus I have terrible difficulty sleeping with babies in the same room as me.

Had we been getting a bassinette for next to nothing I may have considered it but from my perspective couldn't see the point of both.

I have heard of some babies who don't seem to like the open space of the cot straight up though so it really is personal choice
