    Posted: 17 October 2010 at 9:06pm
We got a moses basket for our wee one well before he was born and thought that it would last until he was 3-4 months old. We didn't anticipate having a reeeaaally long baby and at 6 weeks is almost outgrowing it!

We do have a cot, but our home is more than a little awkward- he is in the basket in the cot at night but its quite far from where we spend our days. I suppose i'm a little uncomfortable putting him down in the cot during the day and either having to spend my day upstairs or worrying needlessly (can you tell he is my first? )

Does anyone have any ideas of what I could do instead?

Could you use the cot and get a baby monitor?

We can't hear DS from his upstairs bedroom during the day either (he went from the bassinet to the cot at 8 weeks because it started to feel a bit small - boy do they look small in the cot ). I would have been lost without our monitor as like you would have felt the need to check very regularly otherwise!

We had a similar prob with our first - do you have a pram you could put DS into during the day? Or could you borrow one? We borrowed one from our SIL, it was a perfect solution for us till Bethany was a bit older :) I've heard of some people doing the same with a hammock in the main living area. I imagine even a portacot or a carrycot/cocoon (from a phil & teds or mountain buggy) might work if he still fits. Hope that helps :-)

Jude slept sometimes in his Mocka Bouncer which can lie flat. Jude was also quite long early on but has now averaged out. Could be an option? Otherwise the portacot idea sounds good also.

What about one of those hammocks that you can hang from a hook around the house?

I tried the pram, porta cot and a bouncer and they all seemed to work well! A monitor would be a great idea though if none of these work out for you. :)
