Hi. First time mum here and due in a few weeks!
I’ve kindly been given a wicker moses basket (I think it’s the Clair De Lune undressed one). I don’t have a liner (also called dressing) for it - I’ve bought a new mattress and fitted sheets and then have a choice of a sleeping bag or blankets.
Will baby be safe in it without a liner? What is the purpose of the liner?
Thank you!

I think it's just a bit scratchy on the edges without the liner

Your baby should be perfectly safe sleeping in the basket without a liner. Just make sure that the mattress fits perfectly and securely in the basket. And for a sleeping bag or blankets, I will go with blankets.

Why don't you just order a replacement liner? Looks like they have different colours too. https://clair-de-lune.co.uk/products/replacement-fleece-moses-basket-liner?variant=32311228170300&currency=GBP&utm_medium=product_sync&utm_source=google&utm_content=sag_organic&utm_campaign=sag_organic&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjw65-zBhBkEiwAjrqRMIgXO4pnEnfFUNgsT4lyReM24u-tXceFNuZ_NdF8F7CpE0zxfS-0qBoC3EQQAvD_BwE

Because the basket is only £35 new. If the OP buys a new liner as well as the mattress there’s probably no saving at all.
