Question 3

Product Care

Accepted Answer

It is essential to ensure that your basket stays moisture-free to prevent molding. This is a crucial aspect to keep in mind to maintain the basket’s longevity and quality.
If you need to wet your basket to reshape or clean it, dry it completely before using it again. You can air dry it in the sun or a well-ventilated area. Once it’s completely dry, your basket will be ready for use.
It is important to note that baskets made from elephant grass do not fare well in prolonged exposure to water; this could cause molding on your basket. However, if this happens, there is no need to panic; apply some lemon juice to the affected area, rinse it off, and allow it to dry. This should eliminate mold and bring your basket back to its original condition.

Question 4

Safety & Use

Accepted Answer

Moses baskets are safe and ideal for newborns between 0 and 4 months old. Once babies can sit up or roll over on their own, it is best to place them in a crib.
Moses baskets are not meant to be carrying devices for your little one. So, when you’re ready to move your baby from one place to another, place the basket down first and then gently place your little one inside. This will ensure your little one’s safety while enjoying the cozy comfort of their basket.
We highly recommend pairing our Moses baskets with fitting basket liners. This will safeguard your little one’s hands and feet from the rough texture of grass. Please refer to the basket dimensions mentioned above.
If you plan to use our optional basket mattress, pair it with mattress sheets. This will ensure your little one sleeps comfortably.
