Having a baby is a joyous occasion. The lead up to the big day is exciting, and all the preparations are made in advance, and all of the essential nursery equipment is sourced. One of the biggest and most important purchases is somewhere for baby to sleep. There are various types of cribs, cots, and Moses baskets to choose from, and all come at varying costs. The decision can depend on space, budget, safety and preference. This important piece of equipment needs careful thought, as it needs to be just right for you and your baby. A newborn can sleep in either a cot bed, Moses basket or crib from birth, so how do you know which one to choose? Here is an ...  Read the complete review

We had Moses baskets for both our sprogs when they were small, and I'd say these are excellent - and economical - sleeping and napping options for younger babies. We were (rather foolishly) living in a 'studio flat' in London when my daughter was born, and the compactness of her Moses basket was a real help while we were trying to deal with the lack of space in our accommodations: the basket was small enough to fit on its stand in the 'bedroom area' for night-time sleeping, and also would fit onto the (very sturdily constructed) low coffee table we had in the 'living area' part of the flat for during the day. That's the general review of Moses baskets and ...  Read the complete review

I was trying to right a review of the Caitlin Cotbed from Argos but it wasnt on the list but I had to share as I think its an absolute bargain!! When I got pregnant with my first child my mother in law offered to buy us a cot and omg I could not believe the prices of them! I saw this one when flicking through the Argos book and couldnt believe the price-I hadnt even considered one due to prices being so much but it seemed to make sense this was as cheap as a cot and would last much much longer. You have to buy a mattress for it seperate but all in all it cost about £140 for both. It arrived and I couldnt wait to set it up. Took about 20 minutes was quite easy ...  Read the complete review

When I found I was pregnant everything was like a whirr, trying to think of what I needed to buy and where was the best place to get it etc. luckily my sister had had a baby just 10months before so I was given her Moses basket stand, just had to buy the Moses basket, I looked around for a few months and decided upon one from mother care, at £40 it was one of the cheaper ones, but matched the bedding id also decided I wanted for when I had bought a cot. I went down to mother care world to pick up my Moses basket, it was gorgeous, had a giraffe on it, very suitable for my little boy I was due to have! it came with a little blanket, although I had to use other blankets as ..  Read the complete review

When I was pregnant with my daughter two years ago, I was given a Moses Basket by a friend who had used it for her baby. It came with a stand, a hood (which didn't attach to the basket properly so we didn't use it, but it seemed to be more to look pretty than anything) and she also lent me some bedding. All I needed to buy were some more sheets (fitted and non-fitted) as I would be changing them frequently with a newborn baby being sick a lot, and a new mattress, which cost about £25.00 from Mothercare. I probably wouldn't have bothered buying a Moses Basket otherwise, as babies do not stay in them for more than a few months, and need to go into a cot or cotbed when they  Read the complete review
