How do you place a baby in a full-size cot bed when they’re newborn?

No matter the size of the cot - baby must always be feet to the bottom.

My first went into his cot at 10 weeks old. No matter what age or size of cot, it should always be feet touching the bottom. Baby will move around as they get bigger

Feet to foot so they can't wiggle down under and blankets or sleepsuits etc

I started mine in a side by crib and then when he was to advanced for it (able to get out) he moved to the cot x

If you use a sleeping bag I don’t think position matters as much, as I think the feet to bottom is to stop them wriggling under blankets

This only matters if you use blankets because they can wiggle under it, which is unsafe. If you use a sleepsack, doesnt matter. The sack will move with the child

I’ve seen so many ladies say their children slepe in cots I’ve never heard of such a thing what is a sleeping cot?!

If they are in a sleeping bag id put them in the middle. The feet at the bottom is to stop them going under a blanket so no I dont see the need if no blanket

It is best to put them feet touching or close to the bottom but in my experience they will wiggle around, because of all the extra space a full sized cot will provide. We started with a big cot from day 1 home from hospital and both my children would wiggle before they rolled and once rolling all bets were off.Both my kids sleep in all sorts of positions but a group favorite is wedged in the corner. Because of this I tended to place in the lower 1/3 with the bottom of their sleep sac touching the bottom instead of their feet. Never found them in the same spot I put them in. And if they wiggle at this age they will not grow out of it! 😩😂
