Just having that new babe near, so you can keep a close watch, may help you (and mini you) sleep easier. Plus, some bassinets go beyond, helping soothe babies to sleep and keep them that way.

what to know
Things to look out for when shopping for a bedside bassinet.
visibility
Mesh sides allow your baby to breathe freely and you to see that sweet face— whether you’re standing or lying down. Perfect for when you want to make a quick middle-of-the-night safety check.
adjustable
Many have legs that adjust to your bed’s height, and others rotate, fit right up next to you, and have sides that slide down, so you can tend to baby from your bed (handy after a caesarian!).
soothing
Many bassinets vibrate and play music; higher-tech options lull with sound and motion combos, start up when they detect a restless baby, or use moves that mimic your natural sways (a real help to soothe your little one).
lots of storage
Handy baskets on your bedside bassinet keep diapers, burp cloths, and nursing supplies at hand, so you don’t have to go far for middle-of-the night changes and feedings.
…and what bells and whistles might be right for you
long lasting
Most bassinets are only meant for the early days before babies roll or push up. If you’d like to share your room longer, some adjust to be used for up to a year.
light and portable
When you move room to room or hit the road in the early days, having a bassinet you can carry along means your newbie can sleep in a familiar bed.
super smart
If you want to soothe your baby without leaving your bed, some bassinets are compatible with your phone and Bluetooth enabled.
picture perfect
Some bassinets are so sleek or simple and modern the vision of your cutie inside is enough to make you smile— even at 2 a.m. And that’s priceless.
