I can’t tell you how many times I woke up in the night and stuck a finger under his nose or put my hand on his chest to make sure he was breathing—paranoid much? I wished that I had been able to use this during the recovery from my C-section as getting up out of bed was very painful at the time.

Even though my little one can roll on his side, the mesh makes it easy for him to breathe even if he's pressed up against it. The other thing is the height adjuster, as we have a low bed the lowest height is still higher than our bed. Equipped with a Soothing Centre that features amber nightlight, floorlight, 2 vibration levels and 4 soothing sounds—all with auto-shutoff. I found the fact that the light goes out a little annoying as I often feed for longer than half an hour (hungry baby! I was surprised about the weight of this bassinet largely because of the base I suspect making this more of a challenge to assemble and more difficult to move about compared with similar products.For safety: Discontinue use when baby shows signs of rolling over or begins to push up on hands and knees, sit up, kneel or pull themself up. My one-year-old who has always been in the top 95% is now about 25 pounds to give you an idea of how long that will last. I liked that there was a built-in light for midnight nappy changing, without having to turn the 'big' light on. The HALO BassiNest Flex's greatest strength is its adjustable bedside wall that can be lowered with just the press of a button. As your baby gets older, if you no longer want the side wall to lower, there is an easy lock you can slide to hold it in place.

Having a bassinet in our room made me feel infinitely more confident about my skills as a mom and I can now say that I no longer worry about whether or not he’s still breathing in the night, ha! The soothing center is great for my little girl she enjoys the vibration setting and a number of the different sounds, this makes my life easier as I can put her down and she seems to settle meaning I can get a few little jobs done. Now your little one can sleep as close to you as you want – even right next to you in bed – and still sleep safely in his own separate space.It takes on traditional bassinets with some fantastic features, the ability to swivel over to your bed, move quickly lower the side, and reach your baby without even sitting up. The product is sturdy, but also has the flexibility to be able to pull down the sides, to easily manoeuvre baby in and out. I do like that it's gender-neutral, but I particularly feel like the base looks like it's been ripped off of a piece of budget office furniture. Whether you’re breastfeeding or not, you’ll have to feed your baby several times throughout the night. The BassiNest is designed with a 360° swivel and patented lowering bedside wall, offering accessible close sleep without the risk of bedsharing.
