Gently hold cot (6)
I believe the answer is:
cradle
This could be a double definition.
'gently hold' is the first definition.
'cradle' can be an answer for 'hold' (cradling is a kind of holding). I am unsure of the 'gently' bit.
'cot' is the second definition.
(I know that cot can be written as cradle)
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for cradle that I've seen before include "Crib on rockers" , "Bassinet" , "Cot for a small baby" , "rocker?" , "early bed" .)
