Cots and bedside cribs for HDB rooms
A cot is the one piece of nursery furniture you truly need, and in a small flat its size matters. Our guide to the best baby cots in Singapore compares full-size, compact, bedside and travel cots, explains safety standards such as EN 716, and shows how to check that a mattress fits snugly. Whatever you choose, keep the cot bare: no bumpers, pillows, bolsters or soft toys. A firm mattress, a fitted sheet and a breathable sleep bag are all your baby needs, even under the aircon.

Baby monitors
In most flats a simple audio or closed video monitor is plenty. If you want to check in from your phone, our round-up of the best baby monitors explains range in concrete homes and how to keep a Wi-Fi camera private and secure.

Sleep safely first
Gear helps, but habits matter more. Read our safe sleep guide to reduce the risk of SIDS, and our explainer on baby pillows and bolsters. For routines, see the newborn sleep schedule or browse all our Best Picks.

Do I need a bedside crib and a cot?

Not necessarily. A bedside crib makes room-sharing and night feeds easier in the early months, but your baby will need a full cot by around six months. If space or budget is tight, a full-size cot beside your bed works from day one.

Is a baby monitor essential?

No. It is a convenience, not a safety device. Many families in small flats manage without one.
