Moses Basket? Crib? Cot?
Am I making this more complicated than it is? Hubby and I thought we'd get a moses basket and stand and carry it up and down stairs during the day. Knowing this will only last approx 4 months we thought we might then put the cot in our room (until ? 6 months) before moving into the nursery. I have read about some mums using a travel cot downstairs. Any ideas ladies? I can then find something else to puzzle over. J x

That's what my friend has just done and it works a treat. He has just just turned 6 months and the transition into the nursery at night time was a lot easier as he was used to sleeping in there in the day alone for an hour or so at a time.
Hope that helps but I guess its whatever you feel comfortable with.

Playpen with matress downstairs (I have 2 dogs and dont want slobbery baby) and you will prob need one eventually anyway.
Crib in our room (from Ebay fab condition and only cost 50.00 including new mattress)
Cot in Nursery for daytime naps as want baby to get used to own room even though he or she is staying in our room at night for the first 6 months.
Word of warning on moses baskets though my friends baby is 8 weeks this week and he has out grow his moses basket already.
I will be leaving wooden crib next to our bed and the moses basket downstairs during the day.
A word of warning now - I was carrying the moses basket down the stairs the other day, it was full of the hospital stuff ready to pack and I was just thinking to myself that this could be the baby in there. All of a sudden one of the handles slipped out of my hand and the whole lot fell down the stairs. I was soooo scared cos I was thinking that could have been the baby! Yikes - so just be careful with those handles ladies!!

My top tip is don't go over board will buying stuff that you might need , if you find you really have to have something then you can always get it when the need arises.
