Hiya, I have a question about how much space you need around your baby's cot. My bub is quite long and quickly out growing his bedside bassinet at 3 months. So we need to move him into a cot but still want him in our bedroom. How much space should I ideally have around his cot for adequate ventilation? Can I push the cot against a corner?

Red Nose has no information about the specific amount of space around a cot.
Just ensure the room itself has adequate ventilation.
Is your baby rolling yet?
Once attempting to roll, baby needs to be transferred to cot from bassinet & unswaddled/unwrapped.
Baby needs space of cot & arms free to roll well.
