The swivel function is a stroke of genius, meaning you can quickly and easily stow it out of the way when not in use. The Bassinest does not have wheels, which I was used to with previous ones, which I would move around. 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. It would be great if you could fold it down really small so that it could be transported easily when going on holiday. Even though I don’t make use of all of the features (the push-down side, nursing timer and light), I can’t fault the ones that I do use.

However, if the Mother and Baby awards are looking for a top of the range bassinet, this is an all singing, all dancing crib that would be tough to beat! It positions nicely next to my bed and has a great spin feature to allow you to bring baby over your bed without even moving position! It stands out from your typical bassinet in that your baby can have its own space but be right there next to you and accessible. Battery-Operated Soothing Station: The soothing station has 5 different features – nightlight, lullabies, nature/womb sounds, vibration, and nursing timer.

Bed sharing is lovely when breastfeeding, but for some people, it may not be an option, or you may need something to use besides bed-sharing.

Known in America for their expertise in safe sleep, HALO® created the BassiNest® Swivel Sleeper with the goal of making safe, close sleep easier. The other thing is the height adjuster, as we have a low bed the lowest height is still higher than our bed. This makes it so much easier for mums who are breastfeeding or recovering from a C-section to safely reach their little one without having to bend or strain in any way.But, when you are tired and breastfeeding, any tool to help you get as much rest as possible and keep your baby safe is worth it. The vibration really helped sooth my little one to sleep and the ability to pull the Bassinest over onto the bed was really helpful post C-section, as getting up in the night is challenging at the start. You can grab your baby without getting out of bed between the swivel feature and the lowering side wall. It comes equipped with a Soothing Centre that features amber nightlight, floorlight, 2 vibration levels and 4 soothing sounds—all with auto-shutoff. The rotating cribs is perfect for saving space and makes moving around the bedroom easier; it can also help you pick baby up at a convenient angle.
