Staking her claim


Last week, C and I made our first big purchase for Z. We bought a Moses basket and a rocker for it. We're planning to use it as a bassinet when Z is first born as she will be sleeping in our room. We chose this over a pack and play (although we will be using the one we purchased for Wild Man in the living room) or a co-sleeper because it is smaller. Our room isn't very large, and the Moses basket will take up minimal room while giving Z a space of her own to sleep.

Since we purchased it, it has been sitting in a corner of my office, with its freshly washed bedding just lying inside of it. This morning one of our cats decided it makes the perfect spot for a rest. It seems that she has claimed it for herself, and we must now begin the arduous task of teaching her to stay out of it.

that's exactly what we're using, for sheer lack of space. my last baby liked it until she started to turn over.

I'm glad to know of one other mother who used it and of a baby who enjoyed it.

Ditto for us...the pack & play just takes up so much room for such a small baby. By the time E was starting to actually take up some space in it, she was ready to go to the crib in her room.

I like the color of yours...what kind is it?

oh-oh, good luck on the task at hand! I think Moses baskets are cute! We never had one, though...
