The Moses basket has changed from thousands of years ago when Moses himself was drawn from the Nile River in a basket. The baby Moses baskets of today are not made of reeds and spread with tar but still have one key function … to hold a precious child in comfort and safety.
Modern Moses baskets come complete as a baby bedding set. They include a mattress, removable sheet, wrap style bumper, and a basket with sturdy handles. As with a crib, it’s a good idea to order extra crib sheets so you can change them out right away if the baby makes a mess.
There are many benefits to having a Moses basket compared to a bassinette. They take up a lot less space and we know how our homes seem to get smaller and smaller as we start having children. You’ll also enjoy the up close and personal feeling you’ll share with your child having her right next to you safe and secure in her basket. Moses baskets are very portable. They are great if you want to sit outside with your baby on a nice day or to take with you when you go visiting.
Never move your Moses basket around the house with your baby inside. Moses baskets can be conveniently moved but always carry the basket empty. Never set your baby Moses basket near stairwells, doorways, or drapes that hand low to the ground. You should only use your Moses basket to hold your child up to 8 weeks of age.
A great way to transition your child to a crib is to place the Moses basket into the crib gradually so your baby can get used to the new surroundings. After your baby does move to a crib, your Moses basket can become a part of the nursery décor. You can use it to store toys, blankets, or changing supplies in the baby’s room. You could even use your baby Moses basket to store guest towels in the bathroom. With a little fun and creativity your Moses basket will be around long after your child outgrows it.
