Moses baskets

Whats the average size? The ones I've found seem TINY! Also, are they worth getting? How long does baby use it for? They all seem to only be about 33cm wide which doesn't seem much at all! I can find them cheap enough but don't seem very big. Or do I just not have a clue about how big new borns/babies are!?

We didn't get one and I'm so glad we didn't as my baby refused to sleep lying down for ages.

never bothered with one, they are tiny, and I've always felt they were a bit flimsy.

Had a crib which dc1 lasted about a week in (was waking herself up bashing arms on the sides) dc2&3 went straight into the big cot. I used the carry cot from the travel system if napping downstairs in the early days, but even that hasn't seen much use.

(most new borns are tiny, but they don't stay that way long!)

I think most people seem to find they don't last very long but my DD was in hers for 5 months and she was 9lbs at birth so not tiny! It was really useful having one thing that could do naps both downstairs and up.
