this might sound dumb.... what is "feet to foot" position?

Babies feet should always be at the foot of the cot
Thats so they can't wriggle under the covers, because they are already, at the bottom of the cot? Does that make sense?

Goldlion, is the cot in the same room where you and your husband sleep?

oh yeah... i get it now

As far as i know its fine so long as you put them in the feet to foot position. We didnt put Oliver in a cot from birth purley because we couldnt fit it in our bedroom. Plus Oliver was a very insecure baby and i dont think he would have slept in a cot being so tiny when he was born. He's more snug in a moses basket. x

thats sounds like a good idea and bay will be used to cot straif=ght away as well so no messing trying to get then to sleep in.

my wee girl has been in her cot since 3 days old as she didnt like her moses basket she looks sooooo wee but its sweet

bought a moses basket as my boys both had them but she had other ideas and wouldnt settle in it so tried the cot and walla slept fine since
