Best baby cots in Singapore 

Angelic and serene, newborns are the most precious things in the world, but before you know it, they’re rolling, crawling and clambering all over the place. As parents, safety is always a top priority, even when our tots are fast asleep, and a baby cot is an essential nursery item that will put your mind at ease.

Since babies spend a lot of their time snoozing, getting a cot that is both comfortable and functional will help them sleep better and stretch your dollar at the same time. Some let you co-sleep with your little one while others easily expand into junior beds. Here are the 8 best baby cots in Singapore that you never knew you needed.
