One thing you could do is put the moses basket into his cot??? Then gradually transfer him to his cot. I have heard other mums swear by it but can't vouch for it myself sorry
She was happy, choice is yours hun but you might find he settles better, maddie hated being restricted in her basket so the move was easy for us ... didn't faze her and she was comfy! xxx
Frankie wenmt in her cot ten days ago. She is much more comfy in there. Jonny went in his cot at 3 weeks old as he threw his arms about in his sleep and woke himself up. I have used sleeping bags with Frankie which helps to make her feel more secure.
I put Noahs moses basket in his cot, I never had any problems with him getting distressed, some bubs may get upset when transfering over from one to the other as they prefer the security of a smaller space, but you can always try swadling them in the cot, on the other had other babies are the other way round and dont like feeling restricted. Their is certianly no problem with you poping him in a cot at this stage, it might just be a bit of trial and error to see what way they like it, lots of space or swadling.
If you would rather keep him in the moses basket cause they are in a room with you, persoanlly I have never heard of a baby tipping itself out of a moses basket, but if you have them in a stand at the mo, perhaps you could put it on the floor instead to be on the same side, or just as your HVs advice.
I came acorss this the other day which I thought looked really good, makes baby feel secure and prevents them rolling over or wrigling out of bed clothes. Plus The soft toy detaches for them to play with and it plays sounds! http://www.johnstonprams.co.uk/item846.htm
