Cots and Bedding to keep your Baby Cosy this Winter
The first frost has landed and, if you’re anything like me, you’ve already had the heating on for weeks by now.
So now we’re in the thick of colder weather, you might be searching for ways to keep your baby warm at night – without getting too hot. And if that’s the case, we’ve got plenty of tips and recommendations to keep your little one at just the right temperature.
From cots to bedding, take a look at our cosiest picks for your baby…
First, find a Cosy Cot
If you’ve got a little one on the way, you’ll be after the perfect cot. And if your baby’s first few months will be during the frosty weather, you’ll need a cot that keeps them cosy and warm.
While all of our cots provide a cosy and comfortable night’s sleep, it’s good to look out for the following features:
- Co-sleeping functionality – so you can keep your baby close by, enjoy cosy cuddles, and check on their warmth levels.
- Castors – so you can push the cot to the warmest area in the room, or move it away if it gets too hot or cold.
- Good airflow – so you can make sure your baby still gets a good flow of air to avoid overheating.
Here’s our top pick of cosy cots for this winter…
