Should I buy a moses masket?

Question

Not sure if it's worth the cost. What do you think?

Answer 1

I would buy a second hand one as they are hardly used my sister picked up a beautiful mamas and papa's one for £35 with everthing  included.  Just buy a new mattress and sheets. I used pillow cases as mattress sheets then when she was sick i the middle of the night rather than fumble around for a clean sheet i would just turn the mattress over and change it in the morning.

Answer 2

I say buy one! they don't have to cost a fortune! just get a basic one,  

I think they are better because a cot is wide and open with a moses basket its small cozy and enclosed remember that's what the baby is used to being inside you i also wrap my one up tightly around his feet for some reason he doesn't like his hands being covered! either that or with my first she was in hospital for farr to long so the nurses made a little nest for her under her bottom sheets in the cot that worked wonder's!  

Answer 3

Luckily I had one bought for me, but my son wouldnt sleep in it. He is 9 months old and still sleeping in my bed!

If baby sleeps in it, then its worth getting but buy a cheap one or better still get someone else to buy it!

I wish that I had bought a bedside cot where the side came right down so he was right next to me.

I will try my nxt baby in the moses basket but Im glad I didnt buy it!

Answer 4

in my opinion most baby's don't sleep in their moses basket they prefer to sleep in places where their not supposed to like a car seat or their buggy.moses baskets are expensive enough as you have to buy the two parts separately id save the money to put towards a cot when the baby needs one

Answer 5

I had one for my daughter and even though we only used it for 3 months it was worth the cost. We could use it downstairs during the day and at night we would just put it in her cot. It was also handy when we went visiting. It's up to you though. You don't have to have one.
