moses baskets ontop of beds

my bedroom is very small at home and i cannot remove the spare bed in my room (for many reasons which i'm not going into) and i just wondered if putting the moses basket ontop of the spare bed is safe? everyone who i have spoken to has said yes

  • Hmmm I guess while baby is still small and can't move much and having it close to the wall it would be ok,but i wouldn't feel all that comfortable doing it myself. Is there no way you could fit a stand in your room. They don't stay in moses baskets very long, 6 months at the most so you would need to find something else to fit in your room soon as i think alot of babys are out of them by 3 months or so xxx

  • If you do I'd recommend putting one of the toddler bed guards at the side just to be on the safe side. When my LO was a baby and we stayed at my mums we'd put his moses basket on the kitchen table, but right up against the wall and away from the edges... this was up until 6/7 weeks... xxx

  • i wouldnt feel comfy doing this really, my daughter was only in her moses basket 8 weeks and from then till now she is in a swinging crib if u havent got the room then i also suggest putting the rails up xx

  • is there any space where you could put a stand? they dont take up muchh room and then you could move it when your LO is not sleeping. i put mine next to my bed at night and then put it in the livving room during the day as that was where i spent the most time.

    hope that helps xxx
