*Review and Giveaway!* Creating a Safe Sleep Environment with the HALO Bassinest Swivel Sleeper

The Bassinest Swivel Sleeper is the first bassinet product to provide both convenience and safety, as baby sleeps in his/her own separate sleep area, reducing the risks associated with bed-sharing. Mom can easily get in and out of bed, as well as pull baby towards her without having to get up. The Bassinest Swivel Sleeper can also help support nursing moms (GO Breastfeeders!) particularly during the nighttime as baby can be easily lifted to the breast without getting out of bed. The Bassinest also comes with a unique nursing timer which will alert mom when it’s time to switch sides or return baby to his sleep space – which can also be done without leaving the bed.  WOW! Nighttime nursing would have been a breeze with those features! Other awesome features  of the Bassinet include a nightlight, soothing nature and womb sounds, music and gentle vibration.

To celebrate the launch of the HALO Bassinest^TM  Swivel Sleeper, HALO is hosting a giveaway on their website, which you can enter at HaloBassinest.com. They were also nice enough to send baby Anissa a SleepSack, which she LOVES, as you can see below, and one to give away to an awesome reader!

• Place baby to sleep on his or her back at naptime and at night time.
•  Room-share, but don’t bed share; the American Academy of Pediatrics recommend against bed sharing as it can lead to an increased risk for accidental suffocation.
• Use a crib or bassinet that meets current safety standards with a firm mattress that fits snugly and is covered with only a tight-fitting crib sheet.
• Remove all soft bedding and toys from your baby’s sleep area (this includes loose blankets, bumpers, pillows and positioners). The American Academy of Pediatrics suggests using a wearable blanket instead of loose blankets to keep your baby warm.
• Offer a pacifier when putting baby to sleep. If breastfeeding, introduce pacifier after one month or after breastfeeding has been established.
• Breastfeed, if possible, but when finished, put your baby back to sleep in his or her separate safe sleep area alongside your bed.

• Never put your baby to sleep on any soft surface (adult beds, sofas, chairs, water beds, quilts, sheep skins etc.)
• Never dress your baby too warmly for sleep; keep room temperature 68-72 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Never allow anyone to smoke around your baby or take your baby into a room or car where someone has recently smoked.
