Noun
Moses basket (plural Moses baskets)
A basket for holding a newborn, a kind of bassinet designed to be set upon a stand.
When I was pregnant, I had the romantic idea that after the baby was born I would not only take up reading in earnest again, but also write a novel while my daughter slept in her Moses basket. Of course, I barely had time to keep up with my magazines until she started sleeping properly. Kate Beckinsale
