Bassinet

There are very few nursery room pieces that are more special, beautiful and cozy than a bassinet for your newborn baby! 

A newborn baby loves to feel warm, snuggly, comforted and safe, especially when he or she is sleeping. 

After all, that special little one just gave up the warmest, snuggliest, safest sleeping place ever when he/she came into this world.

A bassinet is a wonderful cozy bed for a newborn up until they are about four to six months old. 

This type of bed can be very convenient, as they are generally small enough to move around to various rooms or locations as needed.  

You can easily keep your newborn close at night by placing their bed next to your very own bed.

Close enough for you to keep an eye and ear on them, whilst not giving up your own sleeping comfort.  Not only is this reassuring for your little one, but for you too! 

Safety Features 

When shopping for this special bed, be sure to watch for the following safety features.  

• A firm mattress that fits snugly in the bottom

• A sturdy bottom that will hold your baby's weight

• If slatted, be sure the slats are close together (no more than 2 3/8" apart) to prevent little heads from getting caught

• If there are folding legs, be sure they have a locking feature to prevent collapse

• If there are wheels, be sure there are locks on the wheels

• Choose high quality construction, be sure screws are tight 

• While some bassinets come with bedding, be sure to remove pillows and extras before placing your newborn to sleep

Designs for Any Style

Whether your baby nursery style is contemporary, traditional, country or elaborate, there is a bassinet that is perfect for you.

There are those that have curvy lines, lacy fabrics, bows and arches that make for quite the lavish elaborate designs.
