Building a cot for your precious infant can be challenging but extremely fulfilling. Keep in mind snag points for any potential hangings, bibs and so on. Also beware of entrapment points. Finishes would be another safety issue considering babies tend to lick and even chew on their pretty cots. Bear in mind mattress height as opposed to height of rails.
You get various cot's either readymade or ones wherein you have to put the cot together. These would be a better option if complying with safety standards. Remember that roughly one in five accidents which involve baby furniture typically occurs in the cot.
