A Moses basket is a portable, lightweight sleeping space for newborns, typically made from woven materials such as wicker, palm leaf, or crochet fabric. It provides a snug, cosy environment designed to help babies feel secure in their first months.

Most babies can use a Moses basket from birth up to around 4–6 months, or until they start rolling over or pushing up on their hands and knees. At that stage, it’s time to transition to a cot or crib for safety.

Yes! Moses baskets provide a safe and breathable sleep environment when used correctly. Follow safe sleep guidelines, including:

• Always place your baby on their back to sleep.
• Use a firm, flat mattress that fits snugly inside the basket.
• Keep the sleep area free from pillows, loose blankets, and toys.
• Ensure the basket is placed on a stable, flat surface or a suitable stand.
