There is nothing sweeter than seeing your tiny little baby all cozily tucked in to their bassinet. While deciding whether to use a bassinet or not is a personal preference, I have discovered several advantages for a new born sleeping in a bassinet.

• All a new born baby needs is love and comfort. In the first few months of life, the closeness which a baby gets from being reassured is unmatched. The best part about it is during bedtime since the infant wakes up frequently to be fed. All a mother needs to do is quietly wake up feed and put the baby back. Did you realize how convenient it would be for breast feeding mothers? Get a few more coveted minutes of rest at night, which never go to waste!
• There is no need to go to another room to check on your crying baby. The convenience factor is essential!
• For all of the nine months the baby is cozy and snug in the mother. Thus the bassinet is also compact and small in comparison to a full size crib keeping the baby secure without the use of an additional bumpers, bedding or blankets.
• For all those who have less space in their house, be glad about the compactness of a bassinet. In fact some of them can be folded and kept away too
•  The portability is a bassinet is a great feature. Some of them have handles or wheels too.

These benefits definitely convinced me to get a bassinet for my little one. Don’t forget that there are certain essentials which come with a bassinet too.

• A bassinet mattress should be such that it is soft and firm

• The bassinet sheets need to be soft against the baby’s sensitive skin
• A durable and waterproof bassinet mattress pad is an absolute must

Get a bassinet with its essentials and you will keep your baby absolutely safe and secure!
