Welcome to the wonderful world of parenting! It's an exciting journey, and one thing that'll top your priority list is ensuring that your newborn gets a good night's sleep.
While it may not always feel like it, sleep is a huge part of a newborn’s routine. In fact, for the first few months of their lives newborn babies spend more time asleep than they do awake (if only their parents could be so lucky!). So, when welcoming a new arrival into your family, it’s only natural that you want their sleeping space to be as safe and cosy as possible.
Enter the Moses basket.
What is a Moses Basket? A Moses basket is a time honoured sleeping space for newborn babies, and may even date back thousands of years (It gets its name from the baby, Moses, who was left in a basket on the river Nile).
A Moses basket is often made from materials like wicker or palm leaf, and are as beautiful as they are practical. Imagine a timeless, portable sleeping space that's got your baby's comfort at its heart. They come in various colours and styles to match your decor, saving space in your room, and bringing an air of charm.
All of our Moses baskets also come complete with a firm mattress to ensure a comfortable night’s sleep for your baby.
Why Choose a Moses Basket?
-
Safety and Comfort: For the first six months, experts recommend your baby sleeps in the same room as you but in their own sleep space. A Moses basket provides that safe, secure, and comfortable space.
-
Familiarity: Your newborn is navigating a brand new world full of strange sights and sounds. The compact and cosy shape of a Moses basket mimics the comforting feeling of the womb, making the transition to the outside world easier, and sleep sounder.
-
Aesthetic Appeal: Who says baby gear can't be stylish? Moses baskets are a beautiful addition to your home. They don't compromise on comfort, and their smaller size can be a godsend for more compact rooms.
-
Portability: Life doesn't stop, and neither should you. Moses baskets are lightweight and come with handy handles, making it a breeze to move from room to room. At night, they rest securely on a stand, allowing for easy access during feedings.
-
Customisation: Variety is the spice of life, and Moses baskets offer plenty of it. From materials to colours, you can choose the one that suits your taste. Some even come with adjustable hoods to shield your baby from bright daytime lights.
-
Multi-Purpose: Once your baby has outgrown their Moses basket, it doesn't retire. It can be repurposed for various uses, adding versatility to your baby's gear.
