I'm Currently Feeling:  |  Moses basket or cot for newborns?
Which is better? Is SID reduced in one or the other? |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | I think it's less in a moses basket that's why they say up to 6months. Wouldn't quote me on it though, I have no idea! |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | No u can use either the risk the same but the reason most midwifes like moses baskets first is that cots are quite large and daunting for LO and also moses baskets are easy to move around |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | Im using both. Moses basket to sleep in and will put the moses in the cot so she starts to get used to it when she eventually moves into her own room. |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | I'm not sure. I think the SIDS advice is about room sharing. We will put the moses basket in the cot so baby gets used to the bars and it's not such a big change when too big for the moses basket. |

| We'll use a moses basket first then move over to a cot when LO isn't so little anymore. |
