Before buying a bassinet

Many parents use a Moses during the first weeks of the child's life as a previous step to the crib and so that the baby can sleep at night with them in the room. Anyway, keep in mind that babies grow very fast, so a bassinet that seems large enough for a child of a few weeks can be small when he turns two months.

To give the bassinet a safer and longer use, and for security reasons, pay attention to the following aspects before making the purchase:

  • The bottom of the bassinet must be well secured so that it cannot collapse.

  • It must have a broad base and be very stable so that it cannot be tilted even if someone bumps into it.

  • If you have folding legs, make sure they are properly fixed before placing the baby.

  • The mattress must be firm and perfectly fit the chosen design.

  • The resting surface should be regular, without reliefs or hardware that could hurt the baby.

My opinion is that unless you get over the money or someone gives it to you, you don't need to worry about acquiring a bassinet. Soon your baby will be small; A crib, preferably a functional one, will serve your child for longer.
