cots or cribs? cant decide

spicysugar · Nov 2nd, 2008, 06:23 AM

ok s we are now looking at if it should be a cot or crib, we have had cots and moses askets before just wondered which one you girls will be having and if you think a cot or a crib is best all replies will be welcomed.

Ill be having a moses basket for when babys tiny, then once he/she can turn over then they'll be going to into a cot.

Not 100% decided yet but at the moment we'll be going straight for a cotbed.
My mum's put me off a moses basket a bit as my brother fell out of his when he was a baby just by moving slightly..

With Caitlin I had a large moses basket which lastest ages the standard one was put away quite quickly so depends on size?

We had a mose up and down at first until she went into her cot this time she will have a moses down (the large one), crib up and a cot when shes outgrown the crib

We'll be having a moses basket for the first couple of months whilst the bambino is young then a cot bed for the latter stages.

Luckily enough my sister will be lending me her moses basket as we'll only be using it for a little while and it should wedge nicely between our bed and the wall for safety issues

i'm going straight to crib..
my MIL told me that getting a moses basket is a waste of money as baby doesn't stay in it long enough...
we'll see how everything flows..

We have a moses basket just for the ease of it - so we can take it around the house with us and so baby can sleep in our room for the first few months. We then have the cotbed for later.

We have got a cribsecond hand for £38 with a new matress too!

So since baby will be in our room as we are in a one bed flat we thought start with that then buy a cot bed which should last a good few years.

We would have got a moses basket but I just dont really like them all that much.
