Baby's Cot / Playpen
Hi! It's my first pregnancy and I'm nearing to my due date but i still can't on decide whether i should buy a baby's cot or a playpen. Can anyone give me recommendation on which is a better option to buy? Thank youu!!
I have the same dilemma as you. I ultimately chose cot. My friend was saying playpen tends to be lower, meaning you will need to bend down a lot more to put the baby down. Tends to hurt the back of mummy. Nowsaday cot also have those 7-in-1, 5-in-1 kinds with wheels. They said it can hold up to around 30kg and around 2-3 years old, depending on the cot. They looks more solid too.

A Cot would be better idea if you plan to use for long time. My 1st born sleep in it till i gave birth to my 2nd son which is 4yrs old. 2nd sleep till 3yrs old as he got jealous of the elder brother sleeping with us and he have to sleep alone.
Hubby and I decided on playpen since it can double up as a cot and it would till baby is abt 2-3 years old.. hopefully..😋
If due to space constraint, playpen would be better. If kids have their own room, cit would be great.
We got a playpen in the end. As our bedroom got limited space and it is easier to move around.
