Height adjustment : cots come in various forms. Most of them come 2-3 base positions, so<br />

initially use the highest position until the baby can move. Later use the second position till<br />

the time baby can learn to stand up. Further, use the third position till the baby can run.<br />

Teething rails : remove the non-toxic plastic covering for your little champ to protect the<br />

kid from gums and till the teeth starts coming.<br />
