I think that what you're looking for is a 'pinnasänky' (a crib/cot)

Cradles that rock are less common here. But can be found (however, at 3 months, your baby would grow out of one quite quickly).

For new baby gear, including beds, check out lastentarvike or vaunuaitta:

http://www.lastentarvike.fi/
http://www.vaunuaitta.fi/

Lastentarvike is a large chain while Vaunuaitta is more of a 'mom and pop' store that is known for its good service.

It's might also be worth looking for a second hand crib and then buy a new mattress. Most people buy new cribs, and then sell them only a couple of years later for a fraction of the cost.

There is always IKEA.
On the other end of the market, there is a very fancy shop at the new Kamppi shopping centre (third floor I think) which sells very nice cribs. If I remember correctly I saw there one which can rock.
