Baby Cot Review

This is a baby cot we bought for Kyle @ Teik Seng, Penang 5 years ago @ only RM138. Now the cheapest you can find at hypermarket like Carrefour, Giant and Tesco, it's around RM188 above. Sometimes can get @ RM159 if they're having promotion but now a days more fancy and white colour wood baby cot can be found in all this hypermarket or baby store which range from minimum RM300 above.

This cot and be adjusted 2 levels, as you see in the picture this is the lowest level, suitable to put at this level once they start to sit up as they might have start crawling and trying their way out from the baby cot. To prevent them from falling it is better to put to the lowest level. Though it is still not safe, if you leave them unattended. Kyle has climb out from the baby cot a few times, but luckily his cot is beside our bed so he just fall onto our bed. There're times when he climb the other way around and fell @_@ and he end up knowing just how to climb out safely by the age less than 2 years.

This is what happen when you have a super active baby who will climb, shake and kick the baby cot once they know how to stand haha...temporary we use a cable tie to fix it. It's not safe when baby is sleeping in there, so hubby will get it fix up and replace some old screws before Keith arrival.

The simple toy game at the end of the court is good entertainment for them when baby wakes up in the middle of the night. We can always hear Kyle play - pushing it left and right - making lots of noises and wake us up ^^. It is also a tool for me to use to teach him colours when he's in playing in the cot or trying to sleep.

To me baby cot is a need to invest in, as it is more safety for them to sleep, rather than sleeping in a swing or sharing bed with parents. Other than letting them sleep in it, it is also use to cage them haha when you need to. Cage them as in put them in just awhile unattended while you going to toilet or get some water to drink and not to leave them alone and you go enjoying a 2 hours movie ^^.

Baby cot also helps them to learn gripping and standing up. Kyle can stand at 7months with the help of the bar. He just grip and stand, dancing (shaking) his butt and leg, showing off that he can stand. But once they learn how to stand, they'll learn how to climb >.< but it's a leaping milestone ^^ every mother would enjoy watching their baby grows and learn new things.

Beside mattress, bumper set is very important to use together with a baby cot, though some research said bumper is one of the cause of SIDS but if use it wisely it helps preventing the baby from knocking onto the baby cot bar.

I can't find Kyle's bedding set, a Sweet Cherry brand - blue with bear bear around it. If not mistaken i bought it at RM144 per set which consist of mattress sheet, two baby bolster, 1 baby pillow, 1 comforter and 1 bumper pad.

I have look around Jusco and other baby store for bedding set, and I confirmed I'm going to get the Sweet Cherry 100% cotton bedding set. Normal price at RM180, so waiting for Jusco sale to get 20% discount or Jusco Member's day to get some cash vouchers ^^.

Last 2 weeks when Jusco is having a baby fair, there's 1 bedding set under Sweet Cherry brand, selling at only RM74.50 7pcs set. It is very cheap if you're okay with polyester material. I don't like the smooth surface, i prefer cotton surface and the colour is quite dull - pink / blue / green.

Sweet Cherry have another range, white base with some giraffe pictures @ RM140 or so. It's 85% cotton and 25% Polyester same goes to Pooh Classic and Doraemon product range. It was quite okay but I still love the 100% cotton design ^^. Can't wait to get my hands on it ~
