We used normal cot sheets in caths moses basket, and did what Kellz did pretty much. We stuffed a pillow case with a towel, and a comfortable cotton blanket and put that on top of mattress. Then put fitted cot sheet over that. Put normal cot sheet underneath the whole mess and used the overhang on either side to 'wrap' her into basket.

Great thing about cot fitted sheet is that when baby older you can line three or so normal pillows up put bedding on that and cover with the fitted cot sheet. Then roll the whole thing up and voila! you have the perfect comfy portable reasonably compact portacot squab.]]> Fri, 25 Apr 2008 22:13:00 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16650&PID=366196&title=bassinet-sheets#366196 <![CDATA[Bassinet Sheets : Baby city....we had to tuck a...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16650&PID=366177&title=bassinet-sheets#366177 Author: Bombshell

Baby city....we had to tuck a little in so it was tight but otherwise worked fine....I also used a real cloth nappy in desperation at times....perfect size and tucked in beautifully and comfy for bubba to lie on of course]]> Fri, 25 Apr 2008 22:02:08 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16650&PID=366177&title=bassinet-sheets#366177 <![CDATA[Bassinet Sheets : we just used the top cot sheet...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16650&PID=365793&title=bassinet-sheets#365793 Author: jack_&_charli

we just used the top cot sheet and folded it in a 'short sheet' way. couldn't see the point in spending $$ on bassinette sheets when the cot sheets would do the same. ]]> Fri, 25 Apr 2008 11:08:34 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16650&PID=365793&title=bassinet-sheets#365793 <![CDATA[Bassinet Sheets : We were advised to use pillowcases...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16650&PID=365763&title=bassinet-sheets#365763 Author: Redbedrock

We were advised to use pillowcases by neonates - we had every intention of Fay going into a cot in her own room straight away, but due to her being prem they advised her to sleep in our room for 3 months. (Safer from a SIDS point of view as you can hear them). Anyway their advise was to buy a washing basket from the Warehouse and a piece of foam then use a pillow case cover and pillow case and tuck the edges in. Worked a treat, except it worked out cheaper to get a bassinet off trade me, but we still did the cover and pillow case thing, and just used our regular sheet and blanket set from the cot on them]]> Fri, 25 Apr 2008 10:44:23 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16650&PID=365763&title=bassinet-sheets#365763 <![CDATA[Bassinet Sheets : IMO cot sheets are soooo much...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16650&PID=365752&title=bassinet-sheets#365752 Author: busymum

IMO cot sheets are soooo much easier because they have so much room to tuck etc. Not too different from the hospital bassinettes here in Palmy. (Their sheets are whoppers!) ]]> Fri, 25 Apr 2008 10:21:37 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16650&PID=365752&title=bassinet-sheets#365752 <![CDATA[Bassinet Sheets : The baby factory has cotton ones....]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16650&PID=365732&title=bassinet-sheets#365732 Author: yummymummy

I'm not worried about spending a bit of money on them - I got the bassinet itself for $20 on trademe! I'm absolute crap at sewing, so making them isnt an option (i actually broke my sewing machine trying to make curtains.) I tried pillowcases, but I thought it looked messy and there was too much overlap.. dunno if it's safe or not, but if you guys have done it maybe i'll just do that instead.
Thanks!]]> Thu, 24 Apr 2008 21:09:23 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16650&PID=365490&title=bassinet-sheets#365490 <![CDATA[Bassinet Sheets : I would just use cot sheets or...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16650&PID=365431&title=bassinet-sheets#365431 Author: emz

I would just use cot sheets or a single pillowcase to save money. The only reason we had bassinet sheets is cos we borrowed the bassinet, but Jack was only in it for 6 weeks before he outgrew it (squirmy child) so I would have wasted about $200 all up if I had actually bought the bassinet and sheets!]]> Thu, 24 Apr 2008 20:50:49 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16650&PID=365431&title=bassinet-sheets#365431 <![CDATA[Bassinet Sheets : I got basinett sheets from Baby...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16650&PID=365380&title=bassinet-sheets#365380 Author: peachy

I just brought some material from spotlight and made my own. worked out heaps cheaper than buying them and you don't use them for that long (Ella was only in her bassinet for 3 months and it was an extra long bassinet).

We just used our square sheets on our oval moses basket mattress. Even the fitted one was fine. If it is too loose you could sew some elastic to 4 corners of the fitted sheet to criss cross across the underside of the mattress and tighten the sheet (does that make sense?)]]> Thu, 24 Apr 2008 19:53:56 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16650&PID=365333&title=bassinet-sheets#365333 <![CDATA[Bassinet Sheets : We found the best thing to do...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16650&PID=365293&title=bassinet-sheets#365293 Author: Kellz

We found the best thing to do was to use a cot top sheet placed under the mattress with even ammounts of sheet sticking out each side and placed down where baby's shoulders will be, then u can fold each side across baby holding them in firmer!
Its great cos u dont need seprate basinnete sheets. We made fitted bottom sheets for the basinette, but another good Idea is just to pop the matress in a pillow case as a bottom sheet. ]]> Thu, 24 Apr 2008 19:21:02 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16650&PID=365293&title=bassinet-sheets#365293 <![CDATA[Bassinet Sheets : Hi Ladies :) I&#039;m having a...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16650&PID=365286&title=bassinet-sheets#365286 Author: MissAngel

Hi Ladies :)
I'm having a real hard time finding fitted oval bassinet sheets. Can anyone suggest where to get them from? I've tried farmers/trademe etc.. If anyone has any they're not using i'm also happy to buy second hand.
