Moses basket advice
Hi all,
I am after some moses basket advice, my Mum would like to buy us one for when our baby comes in December.
Just wondering if you used a moses basket and if so, did your baby sleep in it during the daytime and at night?? Hubs is convinced they shouldn't sleep in it day and night time, so please help me settle this argument!
Thank you in advance,
MrsH xx

Which I love love love! Ds is 11 weeks now an quite a long baby and still fits in it well. He sleeps in it all night and is now having all his daytime naps when we're home in it too.
We only got it as got a reduction for it being the display one at the baby show but it's got more room than Moses basket, as the sides are soft he doesn't wake himself up bashing against the edge and it's still light enough to be easily portable downstairs. Sorry gone a but off tangent but I think it's great. But yes day and night (although for the first couple months most daytime naps were on someone or in the bouncy chair as wouldn't settle anywhere else)
Will definitely consider that too

After a while I started putting him in his cot for daytime naps but still kept him in the basket for at least four and a half months - he never slept through so I really appreciated being able to have him in our room, next to the bed so that I could easily settle or feed him without even getting out of bed.
I got mine from John Lewis which was ??29:

I also highly recommend a stand that rocks - we got this one (also from John Lewis) which has rails at the top and bottom so you can easily rock it with a finger while lying in bed or with your foot as you sit on the sofa! Spot the lazy mummy We got this one:

As for your argument with your OH - I have never heard that they can't sleep in baskets at night and can't think of any reason why this would be. To the contrary, the whole point is that they are small enough to fit in the parents' bedroom even if it's small. We did however splash out on a flash mattress which was probably unecessary.
Good luck!

My nphew was in moses basket both day & night.
We are getting a moses basket off of my friend to have downstairs in the day time but are buying a crib for our room as there bigger so will last longer. Then bubs can go in cotbed when older.
There are some good prices for cribs at the moment in the sales so we'll have one of both. xxx
