Yup we did it and they've been absolutely fine. Certainly cheaper than messing about with moses baskets that only last a few weeks (can you tell I'm a Yorkshire woman? )
Yep it should be completely safe if like masi said they're in the feet to foot position. The only reason I'm going to be using a moses basket is because I can keep him right next to me while I'm sleeping to save getting up when he needs feeding.

Yorkshire woman here too!! I agree whats the point of messing about, when they can go straight in a cot.
I like a moses basket so that they can sleep in the same room as you - we're saving our moses basket for the next baby so getting all the use out of it.
You can use a cot from birth though.. they must look tiny in the cot lol.
Tilly, Rhys' old cot is in our room anyway and now hes got his nice new toddler bed in his own room then the cot is just gonna be sat there unused.
We really dont have space for the cot and the moses basket in our room too so i think i will put baby in the cot straight away, if i dont feel comfortable once shes here i think ill put the moses basket in the cot instead of on the stand.
I had my LO in a bassinet up until a few days ago. She slept terribly in the bassinet and only enjoyed it for short naps... since putting her in the cot she sleeps a lot more soundly at night. I'm sure putting them in a cot from birth is quite safe.. I feel more comfortable with her in there then the bassinet because she's starting to squirm around and gets too close to the edge for my liking... with the crib she can't get to the edge because theres too much room
Now I just keep the bassinet in the living room with me so she can nap in it during the day and have her sleep in the cot at night.
