Hi,

Wondering where to get a cheap moses basket / bassinette for my new arrival due June. My family are coming over at the end of June till mid July and i need a temporary bed for my newborn as one of my elder children will need to sleep in the cot.

Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks

great question, was wondering myself! we've got a baby crib set up in the nursery but figure in the first few months we'll have him in a basket/bassinette in our bedroom (mainly for my convenience as i'll be breastfeeding and the nursery is not really that close to our bedroom).

thanks tips would be greatly appreciated by me as well :-)
 
Maybe not the answer for the OP wanting a very cheap temporary option, but I was pleased to have found an alternative to the tiny and flimsy moses baskets sold in baby shops here!

After months of running into brick walls with baby suppliers and searching here, I finally thought laterally and had a lovely wicker (=rattan!!) basinette made to order at Jade Rattan on Queens Rd East, Wanchai!! Cost $700, which I thought was super for the quality and functionality i.e. it's a good size, our daughter is three months old and still very happy in it. Pic below. It's a rigid antique wicker style, but I also had them make an unbleached cotton liner and "hood" so you can't actually see the rattan in the pic! They were very familiar with the style of thing I wanted and it took about 5 minutes to get across my specifications, 3 weeks to make, excellent job!

Hope that helps.

Hi,
I have a moses basket and a rocking bassinet on wheels (with storage below). I am happy to give them away for free to anyone who would like to collect. PM if you would like.

Mini co-sleeper in Natural for sale

Hi,
I have a mini co-sleeper for sale (color-Mini Natural). I ordered it directly from Arm's Reach Concepts, Inc. It came with a traveling bag. I also have a set of extra (100% cotton) sheets for the mini from Arm's Reach, also in Natural.

Initially, I planned to use it for my daughter's naps. However, she ended up preferring her crib. She really loves her crib. The mini co-sleeper is hardly used and very clean (I washed the sheets prior but she didn't even use the extra one.) My daughter is 8 months now.

I bought it for USD190, inclusive of shipping and the extra sheets. As it is quite troublesome to get it, I'm quite reluctant to let it go. But I need more space in my nursery! So, if anyone's interested, please send me a PM.

Correction

Clearly I was sleep deprived when writing of the source of my custom-made baby bassinette!

It was Yue Kee Rattan, 77 Queens Road East, 2528 1560

They were brilliant. Took three weeks.

Clarified as I have had some PM enquiries about where to get one made and details, etc.
