I generally don’t like shopping, but when I had my son last year, I just couldn’t stop going to baby stores. I kept on finding excuses to buy more and more baby stuff for him. Even today, my son is already a year old, he has a lot of clothes already but I still can’t stop buying. I even caught myself looking at a Moses basket the other day; never mind that my son was too big to fit in one already.

A Moses basket is simply a basket shaped and built to carry a baby. It was called a Moses basket because of the Bible story of how Moses’ mother had placed him in a basket as an infant. Baby Moses in his basket flowed along the river until he was rescued by the Egyptian princess. The modern Moses basket is sturdy and comes with blankets and beddings and other accessories designed to make the baby comfortable. It is also a great alternative to other baby bassinet carriers because it allows the baby to lie flat on his or her back.
