Hi ladies, I was convinced I was going to get a wooden swing crib to use for the 1st couple of months until LO goes into her cot but now I am undecided between getting a crib or a moses basket??

What one would/have you got?

Here are the ones I have been looking at

We got a crib for our baby as we've been told she is going to be big so thought the wooden crib may last a bit longer xXx

I've got a moses basket because it can easily be carried around the house. If I nap on the sofa I can have him in the living room and when I sleep in the bedroom I can move him there too.

A friend of mine swears by a soft crib, which has really helped their baby sleep through the night. Apparently, because they swing their hands about at night, they don't touch anything hard and so don't wake up. If you google soft crib, there is one made by a company called sapling I think for about £65 - you can rock them as well, and the soft bit can go in the washing machine. I'm getting one of those. they can be carried around with baby in too (or my friend does with hers anyway!).

I'm gonna have a moses too for the same reasons listed by Anita...
But,it's true that the crib lasts longer so if you want to wait with the cot maybe should consider it.

I was going to get a wooden crib too. Then, I thought about it, and a moses basket is so much more practical.

i had a crib at the end of my bed with my first; it meant I could rock it with my foot if he stirred in the night...though I am looking at a soft crib this time too, really like the one below (but that may be cause my name is katie!)

I was going to get a wooden crib because they do last longer than a moses basket but I went for a moses basket in the end so I can move it around the house

I'm going to use a cradle - mainly 'cause our bed is so darn high that with the moses basket I don't know where I'd put it at night. I like the idea of being able to reach over & rock the cradle. During the day I have a playpen that I will likely set up downstairs.

I always said moses basket and still do! Crib is just not practical!
