A Moses basket is a portable, lightweight bassinet designed for newborns. Traditionally made from woven materials like palm leaves or wicker, it provides a cozy and safe sleeping space for infants. The basket often comes with a soft mattress and bedding, making it comfortable for babies. These baskets are named after the biblical figure Moses, who was placed in a basket as a baby. Moses baskets are popular among parents for their convenience, as they can be easily moved from room to room, allowing caregivers to keep the baby close while attending to other tasks.
