Moses basket and baby's sleep

[toxitears181]

How long should a baby sleep in a Moses basket for before being transferred to a cot xxxx

Roughly 3 months with my first - some babies outgrow their moses baskets earlier!

3 months - my DD outgrew it

They'll be out of them by 3 months. Mine were before (big babies). I had a proper, flat pram in the living room, which was great for rocking them to sleep. The one pram, that had a seat attachment for when they were older, served all 3 of mine.

If you haven't got a big budget don't bother to buy one as they are not in them very long. A cot will be fine.

I moved mine from Moses basket to cotbed with side off against our bed at about 4 months. We ended up buying a grande sleepy head and put that in cot which helped with the transition I think.

everybody says they’re not in them for long but my DD wasn’t small - 8lb 3 and long and she slept in it til at least 6 months :)

I've bought a bedside crib which are bigger so they can stay in longer. For the living room I've got a bouncer that lies fully flat, as well as the pram carrycot.

Doesn’t matter what they sleep in as long as there is an adult in the room with them when they are sleeping for the first 6 months (at least).

Just get yourself a cot (usually a lot cheaper than moses baskets anyway!). DS outgrew his moses by 3 months and ended up having to go buy a cot! He then got moved to his cot-bed at 6 months. I suppose moses basket was handy for living room naps during the day though in those first few months (although I'm sure a bouncer or something would have been equally as useful)

No idea as I hate Moses baskets. My ds was in his crib until he was 4 months old.

My DC didn’t last long in theirs but they were all 10 lb babies. I’m thinking about getting a crib this time instead or just putting them straight into the cot.

My daughter outgrew hers at about 3 months. But she was sleeping in the cot in our room at home with the side lowered, swaddled, from about 6 weeks anyway - we used the carrycot from our travel system for the first 6 weeks and then for travelling until she grew out of it as it was suitable for permanent sleeping.
