Long baby outgrowing Moses basket

My Lb is only 3 weeks old but is a very long baby. We’re supposed to have him in our room until 6 months but the Moses basket will be outgrown way before then. Does anyone have any suggestions about what to put him in before we move him to the cot in the other room after he’s 6 months?

I got this for my living room instead of a mosses baskets as I don’t find them very sturdy, very reasonably priced and looks great and sturdy. Much larger than a mosses basket too

A next to me! We have a snuzpod, he’s 50th centile, almost 4 months and has plenty of room. I’d get one second hand and replace the mattress, baby items don’t hold their value & they’re mega.

Next to me! My 98th centile super long baby still fits in it at 4 months. Not that he sleeps in it much as he prefers to be in the bed 🫠

Next to me crib

My little boy was a long baby too and grew out of his Moses basket by about 3 ish months I think. We bought a travel cot and used that until he was big enough to go into his own room with a proper cot. And meant we had a travel cot for trips too! Worked well for us 👍🏼

A next to me crib, my son is long too but the one I got from Smyth's has lasted him until recently

Thank you everyone! I will look into them! X

My girl is 10 months and still fits (snugly) in her maxi Cosi Iora. A bit pricey but SO worth the money. I can’t recommend it highly enough it’s wonderful

I just bought a cot that changes into toddler bed. Stays beside me and will move to his own room when he does. My baby 98 percentile for length and health visitor recommended just getting a cot as it’ll save me money as would be buying something else a few weeks down the line xx

The internet attacked me for moving my baby into his own room into his crib when he was a month old because he outgrew his bassinet. You do what you have to do and don't let people bully you! Everyone has their own opinions on baby being close to you for the first 6 months. All i have to say is that if you move into the crib early you wont have too many issues down the line but you do whats best for you and baby!

I think Moses baskets are only recommended for up to 8 ish weeks anyway - I’d invest in a next to me. X

Second hand snuz pod!! They’re pretty long and wide

I got a mamas and papa next to me after my boy outgrow his Moses basket ! I know it’s a huge pain if your looking to save money you could always move the big cot into your room until he’s old enough to move out

I put my little one into a travel cot because of where my bed is positioned a next to me would mean I’d be trapped in bed 🤣 he loved it tho and that lasted until he was 6months

We have the hush 2 by venture next to me crib. I was skeptical to buy because wasn’t familiar of the brand but it’s honestly 10/10 and bigger than your average next to me. My daughter is very long, she’s 5.5 months and has so much room in her crib still! I love it and is definitely something I’d buy again!

A lot bigger than a snuzpod!!

U can get larger Moses baskets. Or go with a beside me crib if you would rather it last better. You can also get small cribs.
