When we had our DD we had her in Moses baskets for sleep, we had 1 upstairs and 1 downstairs so she could just nap whenever in the newborn stage and we'd have somewhere safe to put her down (we have 2 dogs that while lovely with her, can be very jumpy and bouncy). She lasted all of 3 months in them before she was too big. I'm currently 10 weeks pregnant with our second DC and we're considering just putting baby straight into a cot for night time sleep (still having the 1 basket downstairs). We don't see a problem with this but many people (our parents) have said it's a ridiculous idea and that baby has to be in a Moses basket, but can't explain to us why they think that.
Has anyone ever skipped the Moses basket and gone straight to the cot with their newborn?
Or does anyone know of a reason we shouldn't?
