Just went in to resettle Lo and he had poked his finger in a tiny hole in the side of the travel cot ... He got it out again ok but now he knows its there will prob pick at it! Is there anything I can do about it? Suppose stitching it won't hold?

If it is in the fabric part you could stitch a patch on top of it. If it is in the mesh part then I dont think there is anything you can do :(

The mesh in my travel cot was well sewn up when I bought it secondhand from childminder giving up - she had used it as a playpen in playroom and a child had cut it with scissors. It is still secure after 5 years - so give sewing it up a try and just check it regularly.

I would stitch it up and/or patch it. :-)

I would definitely stitch it up, too expensive to replace for just a small hole.

Stitch it up and keep an eye on morrisons. I got a kiddie are travel cot for £15. It is so much better than the mammals and papas I bought in an emergency.

I'd stitch and monitor. Make a note on the relevant r/a too - so you can show that you've ID'd the problem and dealt with it.
I've stitched a hole in the mesh of one of mine - I felt like a fisherman!
I'm keeping an eye out for a cheap replacement too.
