I have a really really stupid question about quilts and moses baskets - please feel free to mock me if you know the answer.
I'm looking for a moses basket and I've just realised that I have no idea how they work with the top quilt bit and what the baby should wear in them. So, if you look at this one then in the first picture there is no quilt, then in the second picture the basket has a quilt across the top of it, like you get on the top of a pram. So, it's not a loose quilt you tuck around the baby like a blanket IYSWIM.
So, what I don't understand is, do you keep the quilt on in that top position and put the baby under it in the basket (like with a pram, so there is gap between the baby and the quilt), detatch the top bit and use it as a baby blanket (they seem really thick for that, the ones I have been looking at are 4 tog) or do you take that bit off all together once the baby is in it?
What should they wear (depending on what's the right way of dealing with the quilt of course)? Will gro-bags be too warm?
I know I sound like a idiot, but I'm really confused!
