How long do you use a Moses basket for? The advantage of purchasing only a crib and using it for your baby’s naps and nighttime sleep is that you only have to buy this one product. However, the American Academy of Pediatrics does recommend sharing a room with your baby for at least six months. Moses baskets are a wonderful solution for keeping babies nearby throughout your day. Although it doesn’t seem like it, babies spend most of their day (and night) sleeping.

The Lullaby Trust recommends that babies stay in the same room as their parents for at least the first six months. So, a traditional Moses basket is a fail-safe option for newborns before they graduate to a cot bed. It’s important to put cleanliness at the forefront for newborn babies. That’s why we recommend you washing their sheets at least twice a week, as they attract bacteria and will, in turn, impact their health. Give baby’s sheets a regular wash to remove accumulated dust, hair and dead skin cells. A co-sleeper is an extension for your bed with a railing around three sides and either a low or no railing on the side that faces the bed. A co-sleeper does well to mitigate those risks associated with bed sharing with your baby. Dimensions - How big is the Moses basket?

Moses Basket and Bassinet Sleep Safety Moses baskets are compact and cosy, and provide a snug and reassuring space for your baby to sleep in. They are portable too, giving you plenty of options for where your little one sleeps. You can set your sleeping baby down in their Moses basket next to you in the living room in the evening, then carry them into the bedroom with you at night. On top of that, Moses baskets are relatively cheap too, and are fantastic value for money. Designed to mimic the womb, your little one will feel safe and snug curled up in their basket, while the simple stand makes it easy to assemble by your bed.

Moses baskets also tend to be slightly smaller than bedside cribs, although both are usually aimed at the first 0-6 months before your little one is ready to graduate to a cot bed. What bedding is best for Moses baskets? When following the manufacturer’s guidelines and safety guidelines set by the Consumer Product Safety Commission ( CPSC), a Moses basket is safe to use as a portable, cozy place for your baby to sleep or nap. Moses baskets are a great choice for newborns and young babies. They’re also approved as a safe bed for babies by a range of expert bodies, including the NHS, the NCT and the Lullaby Trust.

Canopy - Does the Moses basket have a sunshade or canopy to keep your baby cool? Does this stay up unassisted? Portability - How easy is your Moses basket to move around the home? Ideally, you may want to move the Moses basket into your living room during the day and as such, the more lightweight your Moses basket is, the better. Most Moses baskets come with large handles to help carry them around. Your little one can sleep in a Moses basket as long as they fit into it comfortably and as long as they can’t sit upright. Once your baby has learned to sit up unaided, a Moses basket will no longer be safe for them, as they may sit upright and fall out of it. Moses baskets are made for newborns and young babies to sleep in. And whilst Moses baskets aren’t vital – your baby can sleep in a cot bed or a bedside crib instead – they are a fantastic and highly recommended choice. As well as keeping your baby close to you at night, Moses baskets are made from lightweight material and come with handles, so they’re portable enough to carry around the house – ideal during the first few months when newborns sleep up to 20 hours a day.
