Mosquito Netting Canopy Drape Only Fits Crib, Moses Basket (Moon Pink)

Product Information

Choosing a safe and cozy place for your baby to sleep is on the top of that list of decisions you have to make. There are so many possibilities to sort through and research. Perfect for keeping baby safe, secure and oh-so cosy, Moses baskets are hugely popular due to their ability to move freely from room to room. Providing you with constant visibility of little sleepy heads, Moses baskets are wonderful pieces for giving newborns (and new parents) extra peace of mind. Designed to mimic the womb, your little one will feel safe and snug curled up in their basket, while the simple stand makes it easy to assemble by your bed. A bassinet is the baby sleep product that is most similar to a Moses basket compared to co-sleepers and cribs. A bassinet is intended a safe and comfortable place for newborns to sleep. Moses baskets are made for newborns and young babies to sleep in. And whilst Moses baskets aren’t vital – your baby can sleep in a cot bed or a bedside crib instead – they are a fantastic and highly recommended choice.

The advantage of purchasing only a crib and using it for your baby’s naps and nighttime sleep is that you only have to buy this one product. However, the American Academy of Pediatrics does recommend sharing a room with your baby for at least six months. The first is that it is not portable like a Moses basket or bassinet. This sleep system will remain in the bedroom, so you may end up purchasing another product for keeping your baby near you during daytime naps. See this article on co-sleepers vs bassinets. The general guidelines for safe places for babies to sleep listed above would also apply to bassinets. The last option we will consider is the crib. Cribs are a staple when it comes to nursery furniture. It will likely be one of the biggest investments you will make in your baby’s room. Several models available convert to a toddler bed and even a twin bed, so that investment goes a long way. Co-sleeping, which is practiced by many parents who follow Attachment Parenting philosophy, means bringing your baby into your bed to sleep. Some dangers need to be mitigated to safely share your bed with your baby.
