The Little Green Sheep FN010A Natural Knitted Moses Basket & Mattress-Linen

Product Information

Canopy - Does the Moses basket have a sunshade or canopy to keep your baby cool? Does this stay up unassisted? WARNING: Do not use the mattress if any part is broken, torn or missing and use only replacement or spare parts approved by the manufacturer. WARNING: Do not add another mattress on top of the mattress provided or recommended by The Little Green Sheep. The lullabies and nature sounds are pleasant and not too 'tinny'. There are multiple volume and vibration settings, which my baby seemed to enjoy. However, the 'nightlight' is very bright and awkwardly positioned. We avoided using it, as it shines directly in my baby's face." While they’re great for small babies, Moses baskets aren’t known for being usable beyond this. Once your baby can roll or move, it is time to move them to a bigger cot and, if you have a long baby, they may outgrow their Moses basket before then. There are large Moses baskets on the market though, which may last longer.

Yes, absolutely.But don't just take our word for it. Hannah Love, who is a paediatric nurse and parenting and sleep expert says: "The NHS and The Lullaby Trustboth include Moses baskets as a safe sleep space for babies. In fact, they go beyond that and actually state that using a Moses basket can reduce the chance of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). Overall, this Moses basket impressed Kate. "It's very easy to set up – you just need a screwdriver – and the design is definitely different to a traditional Moses basket," she says. "It's made of white plastic, which makes it easier to clean, and means it would suit a modern home or someone who likes a minimalist aesthetic. It's also light and quiet to carry around, yet it feels robust and sturdy." I found the assembly instructions very difficult to understand, with just pictures and no description or written steps, but once I found a video online to follow, it was actually quite simple to put together," says Katie. "The cot is a great size, with soft sides and breathable mesh walls, but it doesn't come with a mattress – you have to buy that separately." The basket itself boasts natural palm leaf and is perfectly lightweight for carrying round the home and a more resilient moses basket than other Maize baskets on the market. The organic cable knit liner is incredibly soft and breathable to promote healthy air circulation and ensure your little one is comfortable.Best luxury Moses basket: Silver Cross Luxury Moses basket and stand with 100% organic botanical liner

How do you choose a safe Moses basket? Jenna Wilson, a Sleep Consultant at Little Dreams Consulting Opens a new window says: "The most important thing when considering anything in relation to sleep is safety. The guidelines from The Lullaby Trust are clear that you should not have anything in your little one’s cot or Moses basket other than a firm, flat mattress with a waterproof cover. Something to look out for with Moses baskets is that they do not have any extra material, bumpers, sleep positioners or anything which could pose a potential danger to your baby." Our consumer editor says: The WoolNest is a stylish, contemporary twist on a classic Moses basket. It's made from high-quality, blended wool felt with robust cotton straps. It comes with a breathable foam mattress with an aloe vera-infused quilt cover that's easy to unzip for washing. However, the stand isn't included, so factor that into your budget. Sleep easy knowing that your bundle of joy is having the dreamiest slumber in one of our cosy baby Moses baskets. Ideal as a first bed for a newborn, we highly recommend Moses baskets so that your little one can sleep in the same bedroom as you for at least the first 6 months before making the move to a cot. Not only is it safer but it also means you and your angel can bond to your heart’s content.
