Just make sure the stand you buy is made specifically to be used with your model of Moses basket to ensure it’s suitable and safe. As well as making sure your Moses basket is appropriate for the age, height and/or weight of your baby, it will no longer be suitable if your little one has learned to sit or pull themselves upright on their own.

Most Moses baskets are sold with a mattress included to ensure a correct fit. However, if you’re looking for a spare mattress or a replacement, check the dimensions of your Moses basket carefully to ensure the new mattress fits well. Our Moses basket mattresses are 74cm long and 28cm wide, which makes them suitable for our traditional wicker Moses baskets. We are a family run business since 2012 that aims to provide customers with excellent quality products at highly competitive prices; through a safe, hassle free, reliable, efficient and value for money service. Cots tend to be rectangular in shape whereas Moses baskets have rounded ends.

These are questions commonly asked by parents who are looking to buy a brand new Moses basket and mattress set or are looking for a replacement mattress for a basket they already own. There are several factors to consider to ensure the mattress is as safe and comfortable as possible for your baby and in this blog we’ll talk you through them.Baby mattresses are likely to become exposed to sweat, nappy leaks, spittle and vomit, and it’s vital that it is kept as clean as possible. For this reason, we recommend using a Moses basket mattress that has a removable and washable cover to protect the inner mattress. The cover ought to be breathable to ensure that air can flow through the mattress to stop baby from getting too hot in warm temperatures. It might also be helpful if the cover is waterproof, or that it can at least be wiped clean so that moisture doesn’t immediately soak into the mattress itself. Our Moses basket mattresses come with wipe-clean, washable, and breathable covers that are also hypoallergenic to avoid causing irritation to your baby’s delicate skin. You can use a Moses basket mattress in your pram or pushchair provided that it fits well. There shouldn’t be too big of a gap around the edge of the mattress, and the mattress should lay completely flat. Provided that the mattress offers a snug fit, it is perfectly safe to use in a pram. Over time, no matter how well you take care of it and protect it, a mattress will begin to cling onto dust, allergens and bacteria, all of which can be harmful to your baby’s health. Since you will only be using your Moses basket in the first few months of your baby’s life, the accompanying mattress might remain in good enough condition that it could be used for another newborn later down the line. However, it is usually safer to replace the mattress even if you’re reusing the Moses basket for another baby. This is because the mattress might begin to harbour dust, allergens and bacteria while in storage.

If you feel confident that a second-hand Moses basket mattress has been safely stored away and remains in very good condition, you could use it. If you’re in any doubt about the cleanliness of the mattress, buy a new one instead. According to the Lullaby Trust, there is some evidence that using second-hand mattresses procured from outside of the family home increases the risk of SIDs. If you’ve been given the mattress by a friend or family member from a different household, be sure to ask plenty of questions about the condition of the mattress and the way in which it has been stored. Ideally, only use second-hand mattresses that have fully waterproof covers and make sure there are no rips or tears.It is generally not advisable to use a second-hand mattress procured from strangers. It should be perfectly safe to use a second-hand Moses basket provided that it is not damaged, but it’s advisable to buy a brand new mattress to go in it. Check out our Moses basket mattresses now to find one that is safe and comfortable.

Any baby mattress designed for newborns should feel firm. A mattress that is too soft will not provide your baby’s head with adequate support could increase the risk of SIDS. Although to you it might feel as if a Moses basket mattress is uncomfortably firm, your baby’s body is far more comfortable on a stiff mattress than a soft one. The mattress should also be completely flat and with no sagging areas. Do not be tempted to put folded sheets, blankets or towels under the mattress to pad it or make it feel softer as these could create an uneven surface or cause baby to overheat.The best Moses basket mattress is the one that fits correctly. Matching the dimensions of your Moses basket or crib to the mattress inside it is incredibly important for keeping your baby safe. If there is too large of a gap between the mattress and the walls of the Moses basket, there’s a risk that your baby’s head could get trapped should they manage to roll over or wriggle themselves towards the side of the basket. You should not be able to fit more than two fingers between the mattress and the basket on all sides.

Do not be tempted to fold the corners of a cot mattress down to fit into a Moses basket. Doing so will inhibit the mattress from lying completely flat, and any bunched areas of the mattress could be a suffocation risk for the baby. It’s really important that the shape of a baby mattress fits snugly into the shape of the cot, crib or basket that you’re using.Moses baskets are often used in conjunction with a folding stand (although they can also be used on the floor), and are easy to move from room to room, so your baby can nap anywhere. Some come with hoods, and elaborate dressings, and padded inners, while simpler models are just literally a basket with a mattress!

Cribs are smaller than cots, and more solid than a Moses basket, and are always on some sort of frame, sometimes a rocking, gliding or swinging one, or just static, with legs like a small cot. Cribs can be used from when your baby is born until he or she can sit up, roll or pull themselves up. They are usually used for a bit longer than a Moses basket because they are slightly larger. Their size makes them perfect for use in mum and dad’s bedroom, and some cribs are specifically designed with a dropside to be positioned right next to the parents’ bed for safe co-sleeping.Cribs are a little more pricey than Moses baskets, but are more solid and will often last longer. Not all babies will like the gliding or rocking motion, although conversely, some may end up not being able to sleep without being rocked! Cribs are not as portable as Moses baskets, so bear this in mind if you are looking for a newborn sleeping option to move around the house during the day.Always check any crib, cradle or Moses basket you buy meets British Safety Standards – it should be labelled BS EN 1466 . If you are buying second-hand, or using a pre-loved Moses basket, crib or cradle, always satisfy yourself that they are in good, safe condition with no wear, tear, loose fixings or missing parts. Bear in mind that The Child Accident Prevention Trust warns that you can’t guarantee second hand equipment meets current safety legislation, no matter how new or in good condition it appears. Moses baskets can be bought very inexpensively, from as little as £25 for a basic basket without a stand. Cribs and cradles usually start at around £40.00. A Moses basket (sometimes called a bassinet) is a small portable basket, often weaved from wicker, which can be used from newborn to around three months, or until your baby can roll or sit up or has simply grown to big for it. Some brands are now making baskets out of recyclable plastic instead of the traditional wicker.Some mums and dads are put off by the relatively short time frame that a Moses basket is used for, but others swear by their portability, the fact that newborns don’t look ’lost’ in them like they can do in a cot, and of course, their undeniable prettiness and cute factor! Moses baskets are popular baby shower gifts, particularly as they can be filled with other presents for the lucky mum-to-be!

There are myriad choices when it comes to choosing a safe and comfy sleeping option for your newborn baby. With NHS advice stating that baby should be in mum and dad’s room for the first 6 months, many parents opt for a portable Moses basket, crib or cradle as their baby’s first bed.

It’s important to remember that when your baby moves into their own room, it doesn’t mean that you can’t monitor them. Baby monitors are a great way to continue monitoring your baby without being beside them. You can even get baby monitors with cameras on so that you can actually see your baby. Moving is a scary thing but its great to give your little one a space of their own to become a little bit more independent.When you’ve done this for a couple of nights (or longer if you need it), you can try taking your baby out of their Moses basket and laying them in their cot. You might find that they take a couple of nights to adjust to this. Don’t give up and put them back into their Moses basket, this will take you back to stage 1 and will confuse your baby. Once you have started the transition, continue with it and remove the Moses basket from where you can see it. This will prevent you putting your baby back in.

However, if this is when you’re hoping to move your little one into their own room, it’s perfect. It’s got a great design and has been made with light materials to make it easier for you to carry around. We love this Moses basket because of its cosy looking design. This is guaranteed to make your little one feel comfortable.We highly recommend that you do not do this. If your baby moves whilst they are in their Moses basket, they could potentially roll out and fall from a high surface. Instead, always keep the Moses basket on the floor where your baby is secure and safe.

The main priority is to keep your baby safe. When buying items online, they may come from different countries where safety regulations are different. This can also impact the quality of the Moses basket. Remember, your baby will be in their Moses basket from the day they are born. This is when they are at their most fragile and you want to do everything to protect them.However, questions may arise when you consider using a Moses basket, if you’ve never used on before or this is your first child, you may wonder if it’s the right thing to do or not.Make sure that your room has the space to fit a cot in before you purchase one, the last thing you want is stress before you have your baby! Also, when you decide to put your baby to sleep in a cot, try to not change your mind again as this can confuse you baby and make it harder for them to settle. Keep your baby’s sleeping place consistent to make it easier for you and them.

If you struggle to find one in store, you can always resort to looking online. We recommend you don’t buy a second hand mattress as there’s a risk of transferring bacteria from one baby to another. Instead, buy one brand new. Mattresses are available for all different budget types.Sitting up can allow your baby to fall out of their Moses basket which poses a huge risk of injury. Moses baskets only have low barriers around them and doesn’t take much for your baby to lean over and fall out.As they develop, you can continue using the Chicco 4 in 1 basket. You can use this as a suitable high chair as well as a comfortable seat where your child can complete activities such as watching television or drawing. We absolutely love the endless possibilities with this Moses basket.

Moses baskets come with handles that allow you to carry them when you need to. Some parents think that because these handles are available, it’s a good way to transport their baby from one room to another. However, although the risk is low (especially if your baby is under the maximum weight), there is potential that a handle could snap whilst your carrying the Moses basket with your baby in. To eliminate this risk, it’s a better option to choose to carry the Moses basket and your baby separately when moving them to a different room. This makes it much safer for both you and your baby.Use the connections you have around you to make bringing up your baby a lot easier. Even if it’s not your first baby, it can still feel like a challenge. Baby groups are also a great place to speak to other parents who can give you advice on where to get items that you need.If you decide that a Moses basket is not the right thing for you or your baby. You can always move straight to a cot. However, these are slightly bigger and it’s important for your child to be in your own room for the first 4-6 months. This is so you can monitor them closely and hear them is they wake.

We love this Moses basket and stand because of its completely different look. We also love that everything is tailored to regulating your baby’s temperature throughout the night.

After your baby has been sleeping somewhere since birth, moving somewhere else can be a bit of a shock to both parents and baby. To make the transition easier, try putting the Moses basket into the cot for a couple of nights. This will help your baby get used of their new surroundings but will also help you as parents to adjust to your baby being in another room.

There are a variety of different designs to choose from depending on the look you’re going for. However, we’ve not only focused on what they look like. If your Moses basket looks great but doesn’t offer the comfort your baby needs, it’s not worth buying. All of the Moses baskets you will see don’t compromise on durability because of how they look.

You can purchase the standard colour of a Moses basket which is usually a light brown colour. If you prefer something a bit different, you can also find Moses baskets that have been dyed. These normally come in colours such a blue, pink, yellow and white. Babies usually stay in Moses baskets until they’re 3-6 months when it’s a good time to move them to their own cot. Leaving them any longer than this can become unsafe for both you and your baby. A Moses basket is perfect for your new-born baby as it gives them their own space inside your room. Some parents decide to move to a cot straight away if they have the space to fit one in. However, a Moses basket is perfect for smaller spaces and still gives you everything a cot would.

This also applies for babies who can push themselves onto their hands and knees. Again, this puts your baby in danger of falling from their Moses basket. A cot has high walls to protect your baby and they can even stand up without risking falling out or injuring themselves. Make this move sooner rather than later to eliminate risks.

A lot of parents struggle with getting their baby to sleep for the first few weeks or months. Although it’s not likely that you’ll get a proper nights sleep for a little while, it will start to get better as your baby develops. However, the first stages of their development can be the hardest. We’ve seen many parents ask how to get their little one to sleep in their Moses basket.

Like a cot, there are safety precautions you need to take to make sure your baby stays safe in one. We will talk more in depth about this during the blog.
