We put Jordy in his cot from day 1.
He took well to being in there, all though he was in a "Snuggle Bed" which is an insert that fits into cots to make the space seem a bit smaller.
We had to take this out a few weeks ago, as he grew too long for it.
We have always swaddled Jordy so I guess that helps to make the space seem smaller too.
So now I have just short sheeted the cot so that if he does decide to shimmy somewhere, he isn't going to go very far.
We've never used a bassinet for our Babies, I never saw the point in it as they out grow it too fast. It's just an extra expense that we didn't really need.
All my love,
Zoe & Jordy's Mummy.
