I'm wondering if I should get a woollen underlay for the cot mattress? Just not sure if it is a good idea or a no-no. I'm not planning on wrapping the mattress but was going to get a mattress protector. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

| Probably not necessary to have a woollen underlay, but I managed to get a woollen aircell-type blanket cheap off Trademe, and tucked that in under the cot bedding. I reckon it probably made the cot bedding a bit warmer. |

I bought a cot sized woollen underlay and used it in the basinette initially and then moved it to the cot with my babies. I think it makes it warmer plus it protects the mattress from explosive nappies and vomiting bugs. -------------

| I had an old single bed woollen underlay which chopped into 2 cot sized ones..one on the cot, one spare! |

I had a woolen blanket (like the fire blankets (thickness) rather than a fluffy underlay (iygwim) and it worked great for spills (pee/poo/vomit/etc)
eta: It's much better than the plastic mattress protectors, they don't breathe and I remember having to sleep on one in hosp and I just over heated and sweated! As did DD when she had one in the hosp cot. ------------- http://lilypie.com">
