Product Information

The last option we will consider is the crib. Cribs are a staple when it comes to nursery furniture. It will likely be one of the biggest investments you will make in your baby’s room. Several models available convert to a toddler bed and even a twin bed, so that investment goes a long way.

Those are some general guidelines for designing your baby’s sleep space. Here are some that are specific to Moses baskets and bassinets. You will see that there are many similarities since Moses baskets can be used as alternatives to bassinets. 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. A bassinet is the baby sleep product that is most similar to a Moses basket compared to co-sleepers and cribs. A bassinet is intended a safe and comfortable place for newborns to sleep. 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.The key difference between a Moses basket and a bedside crib (also known as next-to-me cribs and co-sleepers) is that a Moses basket provides a separate enclosed sleep space for your new baby.

Makers of Moses baskets have helped solve this problem by designing stands to be used with their Moses baskets. It effectively turns the Moses basket into a bassinet at your convenience. Moses Basket and Bassinet Sleep Safety 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. The Lullaby Trust recommends that babies stay in the same room as their parents for at least the first six months.

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. 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. The general guidelines for safe places for babies to sleep listed above would also apply to bassinets.
