Baby

It is quite impossible to answer. There is no right answer. The baby can sleep in the bassinet with you, but if you feel you get better sleep by placing the crib in the nursery, then this is sensible. The 4-year-old child can sleep in the house bed with you, but can also sleep in the mid-sleeper bed in the nursery.

No two children are alike, and neither are parents, so try things out and do what you feel most comfortable with.

Here are the most important things to consider when buying a baby cot:

1. Safety first

Choose a cot/crib that complies with applicable European safety standards. Check, among other things, the distance between the bars, stable materials, and non-toxic surfaces.

2. Adjustable base

A cot with multiple base levels is essential. The highest level makes it easy to lift the baby without straining your back – lower levels are necessary when the child starts to move and stand up.

3. Stability and quality

The cot must be solid and stable without loose parts. Good quality ensures both safety and a long lifespan.

4. Flexibility

Consider a cot that can grow with the child – for example, the option to remove the side and convert it into a junior bed.

5. Practical in everyday life

Think about height, access, and functions – for example, whether it's easy to put the child down and pick them up, especially at night.

In short: Go for a safe, flexible, and well-thought-out baby cot that suits both your child and your everyday life 👍

For many, a changing table in the nursery is a great solution because it creates calm and intimacy around daily routines. Here, you typically have more space for both the changing pad and storage, so diapers, clothes, and care products are gathered in one place and easy to access.

At the same time, the nursery can be decorated to be cozy and safe, which makes changing time a peaceful moment for both you and your baby.

A changing table in the bathroom can be practical in terms of water and cleaning, but many find that the nursery provides a more relaxed atmosphere and better working conditions in everyday life.

The most important thing is to choose a solution that suits your needs – and that makes changing time safe, functional, and pleasant.

A baby cot is typically used until the child is 2–3 years old – or when the child starts to climb over the side. After this, the bed can often be converted into a junior bed.

Most people start with a baby cot or crib, a changing area (changing table or changing chest of drawers), and storage like a chest of drawers or wardrobe. A bedside crib or a small bassinet is a good solution for many, but a baby cot can easily be the first bed, preferably with a bumper or similar to provide comfort. The most important thing is functional solutions that make everyday life easier.

There is typically no difference – a cot is the most common type of baby bed with bars on the sides, which ensures good ventilation and safety.

Most people transition when the baby starts moving more or outgrows the bassinet – often around 3–6 months. Alternatively, when space becomes too cramped in the bedside crib, the baby bed is a good alternative.
