The Best Baby Cots
Baby cots range in price, quality and size.
Many parents choose a Moses Basket initially and find a couple of months later their precious little one is well on their way to outgrowing it.
A great option is to purchase a quality cot that is suitable from birth to around 18 months. This will give you much more flexibility and save you money.
Cot accessories make spending time in the cot more enjoyable for baby, we’ve hand picked the best baby mobile.
John Lewis has one of the best selections of baby cots and cotbeds.
A mattress is essential for your baby’s cot. There’s a great selection of cot and cotbed mattresses at John Lewis, ranging from £30 to £170.
We always put Imogen to sleep in a Baby Sleeping Bag. We can rest assured she is safe and won’t kick any sheets or blankets over her head.
The Best Baby Activity Gym Play Mat
Enjoying the Lamaze Pyramid Activity Mat
Activity mats help to encourage tummy time and many have added features that allow baby to discover different textures, lights and sounds within the area of the play mat.
The Lamaze Pyramid Activity Mat
The Lamaze Pyramid Activity Mat
It has a cushioned play mat which baby can lie on or sit on with a bright and engaging environment of characters with soft side walls which helped to keep our baby safe when she started rolling!
It folds into a play house for older babies to play with when they are able to sit up unaided.
The Lamaze Pyramid Activity Mat is reversible, with colourful pictures and characters on each side and includes an overarching rainbow which holds the soft sides of the mat up so your baby can lie underneath and gaze up at the rainbow and toys.
The toy figures can be attached to the rainbow or the play mat or they can be kept separate for your baby to play with individually. The activity gym play mat comes with 5 soft toys – boy, girl, baby, cat and flower.
Playing with the Lamaze Pyramid Activity Mat Toy Doll
has a musical sun that can be attached to the rainbow or played with separately. The musical sun plays tunes and can be set to be activated by movement so as your baby enjoys kicking their feet in the air and on the floor, the music will play and the lights will flash to encourage your baby’s movements. And there’s a volume control on the musical sun so you can set it to your desired sound level.
It’s really important to introduce tummy time into your baby’s day for a few minutes a day. This helps to strengthen their muscles as they try to push themselves up off the floor and it encourages coordination. You can read more about the benefits of tummy time.
The Lamaze Pyramid Activity Mat
This activity and play mat will be used daily by your baby. It can be simply wiped clean or machine washed when needed and it drys quickly so your baby won’t have to wait for their next round of play on the activity mat!
The Best Baby Mobile
When I was pregnant I searched relentlessly for the best baby mobile. I had a long list of criteria for my baby’s mobile.
I was looking for the best baby mobile I could buy. I wanted a mobile that would easily and safely attach to my baby’s cot with stimulating characters and classical music.
My friend recommended the East Coast Sweet Island Dreams Mobile
- suitable for baby from birth
- easily attaches to baby’s cot
- plays soothing classical music
- rotates with colourful characters
- helps baby sleep peacefully with the night light for comfort
- plays 3 classical tunes and an island theme
- provides stimulating entertainment
- has a calming night light
- allows parents to use a remote control to turn the music and light on or off without going into baby’s room so as to not disturb a sleeping baby
- encourages baby to follow the characters while listening to music
It’s well known that classical music enriches your baby’s cognitive and emotional development. We enjoy listening to classical music every night as our baby is drifting off into a blissful sleep.
