buybuy BABY: HALO Bassinest for Newborns

This post is in partnership with buybuy BABY. All opinions here are my own.

As a new mom, the decision of where your baby should sleep is one of the most important ones. There are a lot of options out there! 
  • Do you want to put the baby in the crib?
  • A bassinet?
  • Or do you want to co-sleep?
Honestly researching all of them can make you go crazy! 
They all have their pros and cons.

When researching I had to think about what I wanted:
  • I wanted her close to me.
  • In her own space (but within fingers reach).
  • Something mobile! Whatever it might be -to be able to move to the other side of the bed (In case I want to put my husband on baby duty).
One of the options that kept on popping up was the HALO® Bassinests® . Have you heard of them? Their mission really spoke to me:
“Our mission is to make simple, innovative products that make safe sleep easier for you and more comfortable for your baby.” 

Did you know that newborns sleep 16-17 hours a day! 
Sleeping is such a big part of babies life. 

During my trip to buybuy BABY, I really wanted to get something that I knew that I would use daily for a few months. The HALO® Bassinest® seemed like the best choice! At the location that I went to they had two types which can accommodate your lifestyle. I chose the HALO® Bassinest® Essentia Series Swivel Sleeper. I wanted the 360 swivel. Glad I did because coming in and out of bed was so easy. I didn’t need to move the whole bassinet. Plus the movement is super smooth not jerky. If I had to move it while she was sleeping, she would never know.

Some other notables:
I love that it’s made out of mesh (breathable). Sometimes she just wants to know I’m there. Baby girl can look and feel comforted that I’m there. I know it sounds small...... BUT when your baby is whining- this makes a world of a difference

Also it’s the perfect height for my bed. So ideal right after you give birth. I was so achy..... I could only imagine having to go back and forth to the crib at night. Not ideal at all!

****
If you require extra features for your bassinet -Try the the top of the line HALO® Bassinest® Premier Series Swivel Sleeper. This has everything you could want.
  • Nightlight
  • Vibration/Soothing sounds/Lullabies
  • Nursing timer
I’m not going to lie. I didn’t get this one because I thought that I didn’t need the extra features. BUT on days when baby is fussy- I could totally go for vibration/soothing sounds/lullabies function. Or even the nightlight function.


Overall the HALO Bassinest was a great buy and I'd definitely recommend it.

When purchasing in-store at buybuy BABY there are a few things to consider:
Great registry!
Add it to your registry! Hopefully you can get it like a gift. Reminder- registry returns are hassle-free.
Price match!
All you have to do is present the competitor's ad/website to the cash register.
Knowledgable associates!
When I was there an associate presented me with the features for each bassinet. This allowed me to choose which I wanted based on my needs at that particular time.


Did you put your baby in a bassinet?

  3. I have the premiere series bassinest and I'll tell you it's seriously the best thing ever. The fact that baby gets to be so close but still in her own space is just wonderful.
