What to put on when a new born sleeps

We like the coziness of moses basket, but most say that it will not be used for that long and is costly.  So we planned to wait to see whether we needed it after the baby was born. Then we found out it was not necessary. When our baby was born, it was in the summer already. For the first month, mostly we used cellular blankets and sheets and tucked these sheets in the cot. Because a new born can not move much during the first several months, a secret found out by every new parent, we did not have to worry much about the baby going under a blanket. After one and half month, we started using sleeping bag. Overall, for a summer baby, it is certainly easier to find what sleeping gears to be used than for a winter one.

Dropside cot, still useful

When we were choosing a cot, we hesitated a lot on which one to choose. Finally we went for dropside one. After one year of using it, I can assure you that it is a good buy for us. Now we use the lowest level and if without the dropside, it would be not easy for me to put the baby back to the cot, especially for a sleeping baby. But when going for a dropside one, be sure to get one with very good quality, so that your mind could be free of those safety concerns which are daunting enough to scare every new parent dearly. 

In the market, there are more non-dropside cots than dropside ones. I reckon that they expect that either users are very tall, or a baby can sleep awake so parents donot need to put sleeping ones back to a cot.   

Donot forget thermometers!

Room thermometer, medical thermometer, must-bring during a holiday with a baby, especially when it is your first holiday with the baby.
