The History of Moses Baskets: From Ancient Times to Modern Day
Moses baskets have a rich history dating back to ancient times. The name originates from the biblical story of Moses, who was placed in a basket to protect him from danger. These simple, woven baskets have been used by various cultures around the world as a safe and portable sleeping space for infants.
Modern Moses baskets have evolved significantly, combining tradition with contemporary safety standards and comfort. At MyHappy Baby, our baskets are made from the highest quality natural materials, handwoven with meticulous attention to detail to ensure durability and safety.

Growing Trend: The Popularity of Moses Baskets in the UK
The number of UK parents choosing Moses baskets for their newborns is steadily increasing. According to a survey by The Lullaby Trust, an organisation promoting safer sleep for babies, 68% of parents prefer Moses baskets during the first few months of their baby's life. This preference is due to their compactness, portability, and the comfort they provide.
Additionally, research published in the British Journal of Midwifery indicates that over 75% of parents find Moses baskets to be a convenient solution for the early months of their baby's life. This belief is supported by the recommendations of the American Academy of Pediatrics, which advises that infants should sleep in the same room as their parents for at least the first six months to reduce the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS).
