Moses Baskets – Your Questions Answered
By Alice Ault | January 27, 2009
Moses baskets offer and provide a secure, comfortable and cozy sleeping environment so your baby can sleep well. Moses baskets can be made from wicker, which is the most expensive, or maize, but the majority are constructed from palm. You will find that wicker baskets are the most robust. For your ease and comfort the baskets have handles so that you can move them around easily.
Usually, Moses baskets will include a fabric-covered hood and a complete set of moses baskets bedding. Many moses baskets have a neutral color scheme so you can choose in advance without knowing if you’re having a girl or a boy. Often, a foam mattress is already provided inside.
Moses baskets make a lovely newborn baby gift for expectant parents. Quite a few parents request a moses basket as a present for their newborn baby from parents and friends who join together to buy one. In addition, some families have moses baskets which they share amongst the family for each new baby. Sharing the outlay like this can help new parents out considerably.
Moses baskets may be placed directly on the floor, or they may be placed at bed level through moses baskets stands.
Cons
Only used for the first three months or so: can be an expensive purchase if you buy new
Safety tip: Check when buying a Moses basket that its handles are sturdy and meet in the middle.
Pros
Very portable: easy to move from room to room
Your baby may feel safer in a Moses basket than a cot.
You should carry the basket with two hands, one under the basket supporting the baby and one holding the handles together. If that is a worry for you, simply make sure to move it only after taking your baby out.
Parents’ tip: Let your baby sleep in his Moses basket inside the cot. Then eventually slowly he will get used to sleeping there.
