Another major benefit of Moses baskets is that they can help very young babies to feel more secure than in a crib. Cribs are designed to last until babies turn into toddlers and are ready to move into a proper bed. This means they must be spacious enough for a child that is up to two or three years old, which might be a little too spacious for a tiny baby. Newborn babies tend to settle better when they feel cradled and when they can't see too many stimulating things going on around them. The small, cosy size of a Moses basket can make them feel safer and more secure, and when the hood is raised, baby is less likely to be kept awake by the goings-on around them. Finally, Moses baskets tend to be significantly cheaper than cribs. Although you will likely have to buy a crib eventually when your baby gets too big for the Moses basket, using a basket first gives you a little extra time to save up for the perfect crib that will last your baby several years until they're big enough for a proper bed.
