Using A Moses Basket In Your Babies Nursery

0

The moses basket has been getting used for hundreds of years as a place for babies to sleep. It is also sometimes called the wicker moses basket because of the materials that are generally used in its construction. These baskets are long and narrow in shape, perfect for a growing baby and also giving it space to stretch its arms and legs. They also have high sides, for safety, ensuring the baby is secure and is at no risk of falling out of the basket.

There are various options that you have to choose from, some things that you will find useful and others you might not need. Such as a hood over one half of the moses basket, which helps to keep light out of the childs face that may stop it from sleeping, it also helps to keep pets, like cats and dogs from being able to lick the babies face. Your basket could also have handles at either side, most moses baskets do come with handles, but you really only need them if you will be taking the basket out of your home, most people keep their baskets on a moses basket stand all the time.

Classic Looks

Because the wicker moses basket has such classical looks they are a great addition to any babies nursery. If you pick up any interior design magazine that features a nursery you will be sure to see a wicker moses basket in there. You see, the classic styling doesn’t mean that your babies room has to be classically styled too, these baskets suit every style of décor, whether its old or right up to date. Regardless of the rooms décor, these wicker baskets are going to add beauty.

When it comes to buying little add ons there is loads of different moses basket bedding for you to choose from. There are infinite number of colors and different patterns to choose from, of course you want to pick out something that is going to suit your babies sex, your friends may look at you funny if you have a baby boy in a pink moses basket.

You also have a load of choices when it comes to choosing a moses basket mattress, you might think that anything will do for a baby, they wont notice, but this is just as important, if not more important to buying your own mattress. Your baby is going to spend a huge amount of time in their basket, so you need to pick something that is quality and wont be uncomfortable for your baby. Buying a cheap item may lead to your child having a sore back from early in their life.

You should also give some thought to a moses basket stand, or even a rocking stand. These get your child away from the floor, out of harms way. It also means that they are at a better height for you to see them and tend to them, so you don’t end up with a sore back from bending over all the time. Plus it keeps them away from your pets, we all know how inquisitive pets can be.

The Cost Of A Moses Basket

The majority of moses baskets are handed down through the generations, but if you are like me and had to buy your own there are plenty out there, at all different price ranges. For example on Amazon you can get a nice wicker basket for as little as $30 and then there are some that sell for over $500, plus everything in between. If you are looking for a stand these start from about $40 and go all the way up to over $100.

About Teak

Teak is a tropical hardwood that comes from Malaysia and other areas in southern Asia. It can grow up to 40 meters in height, the timber we get from teak is a yellow/brown color, that has got a lovely grain in it. As mentioned it is a very dense wood, for this reason it doesn’t take long for tools to go blunt when cutting or shaping it. Because of the high oil content teak furniture can be sat outside for long periods of time without needing any protection coating on it. But if it is exposed to large amount of sunlight it will start to change color, to a browny color. So to stop this you can get a sealant for the wood. If you have old furniture that has already started to change color then you can sand it back with a light sandpaper, which will reveal the original color, then seal it up. Normally this sealant will include an anti mold formula, to help stop any fungus growing on your furniture

There are many countries around the world, like India, that use teak to make window frames and doors, so this proves that it is a durable wood and can stand up to all that the weather can through at it.
