Depends on what your needs are. Cot would be for sleep but some mummies feel that it’s not useful cos they cosleep with their child (which some may feel is not advisable due to safety concerns). Playpen is for play, so not really suitable for sleep.

I read and heard from experts that playpen is meant for day time usage, a cot is meant for proper rest and night time rest. I would say a cot is more important if you had to choose either or :)

For me, I will choose a cot for baby to sleep in. Playpen only when baby is older. Current thinking is baby needs to know what is sleep (in cot) versus play

will it be stable? i read up some mentioned that its shaky and bb tends to wk up more often

If you can only choose one then playpen

Playpen is definitely better
