Frequently Asked Questions...

What is the difference between a bassinet and a Moses basket?
A bassinet is a small, often stationary sleeping space designed for infants, featuring a sturdy frame and sometimes a rocking function. A Moses basket, on the other hand, is a portable, woven basket with handles, typically used for sleeping and carrying your baby. Both are suitable for newborns, but bassinets tend to be more structured, while Moses baskets are lightweight and easy to move.
Are bassinets and Moses baskets safe for my baby to sleep in?
Yes, both bassinets and Moses baskets available at Babies NZ are designed with safety in mind and meet necessary safety standards. However, always ensure your baby is placed on a firm, flat mattress and that the sleep environment is free from soft bedding or toys to reduce the risk of suffocation.
How long can my baby sleep in a bassinet or Moses basket?
Most babies can comfortably sleep in a bassinet or Moses basket until they reach 3 to 6 months of age or when they start to push up, roll over, or reach the weight limit specified by the manufacturer. It's important to transition your baby to a crib or a larger sleep space when they outgrow their bassinet or basket.
How do I care for and clean a bassinet or Moses basket?
To care for your bassinet or Moses basket, follow the manufacturer’s cleaning instructions. Generally, you can wipe down the frame with a damp cloth and mild soap. For fabric components, check if they are removable and machine washable. Regularly inspect the basket or bassinet for wear and tear, ensuring it remains safe for your baby.
