Can you lift the a newborn out of the Moses basket?

What I was told was 'don't lift anything heavier than your baby' meaning (if you physically can) you can pick your baby up 😊

My partner did all the night feeds until I felt I was able to lift safely x

I could and my baby was 11lb x

My baby was 9lb I could lift him but was the bending into the moses basket for me. So I got my partner to pick him up and put him on me until a few days in when I felt a little easier

I personally couldn’t lift my 4kg baby for the first 3 weeks at least

I was told not to lift anything heavier than your baby x

Csnt do anything heavier then baby and car seat. Or like roughly 10lbs for a couple weeks. For us it had to be more because my child was already over 10 lbs at birth so they kind of laughed and were like uhhh don’t do anything heavier then your baby in the car seat. So lifting them out of bed is totally fine

The doctor said don't lift anything heavier than you baby...he was always in my arms...unless I was going to the bathroom or something. 😅

You can lift your baby, just not anything heavier than your baby! My partner would lift her out at night and pass her over to me for the first few weeks!

My doctor told me nothing heavier than your baby. I wasn’t fortunate enough to have much help but I would let your partner help lift the baby to you so you aren’t putting too much pressure or weight on your incision.

Do you mean lifting both the basket and your baby together? Or just lifting the baby out? You can lift the baby. The advice states nothing heavier than your baby, it doesn't say you can't lift your baby. The reason it's "nothing heavier than your baby" is because no one in their right mind will tell the mother of a newborn infant not to lift their child.
