there certainly is more to think about than we first think! I hadnt planned on baby sleeping in this for long periods..depends if it's good for his spine. But i guess it could be OK. yes it folds up - i thought it'd be good for idylic afternoons spent at bbqs (ive this visiion that motherhood is going to be one long holiday.....i'm sure i'll geta shock!haha)

We have small rooms too and I want baby in with me for a good few months, so we went for a second hand swinging crib for £40. I think it'll be good till 6 months and then baby goes into his/her cot in the room next door. I thought a moses basket might only last a month or two before baby is too big and I might not be ready for him/her to go next door at that stage. The swinging crib seems so much more sturdy than a moses basket on a stand.

Haven't decided want I'm going to do for the moving around the house stuff yet!

I have all three lol (well Seren still has the cotbed at the moment). I have a crib by my bed, a moses basket downstairs and Cally sleeps best in my bed so I give up.

Seriously though i have found the crib to be fab value for money,it cost us £35 and Seren was in it for ages.

Thats why I like the soft crib.... Moses baskets never seem to resell for very much, as they don't look 'new' for very long.

I borrowed a wooden swing crib for Ethan, but found that it was too big to have next to the bed.. and thats where it had to stay.. Also, big brother got a bit too vigorous with the whole swinging to sleep thing one day, and terrified me... and Ethan

my friend says 3 months and my sister has said 6 weeks i'm sooo confused!!!

I think it would depend on the size of the baby really. I personally don't like moses baskets. Would much rather put them in a baby bouncer or cot.

i've opted for moses basket and then cotbed.

for me its the safari friends moses basket then the cot
