The first thing to remember

First you have to remember that it is not safe to leave a baby without your supervision even if you are 100% sure you have put the baby in the safest place of your house.

3.Choosing a baby cot it is preferable to buy a new one, you will be sure that every detail works and the cot is equipped with the latest safety features.
