Kimberly Green has spent time researching and looking at many types of bassinets and has seen many quality designs
Your baby has had nine months to get comfortable and used to warm safe places to sleep and when they make their arrival into the world it’s your duty to make sure they maintain that warm and safe place to sleep. There is a wide range of reasons for picking a bassinet over a crib for those first few months of life.
A lot of mothers like to keep their newborns in their rooms instead of the baby’s room so they can be close by for those multiple nightly meal times. Some choose a bassinet because it gives a cozier feeling and it’s easier to swaddle. Regardless of your reasoning quality and safety should be your number one concern when it comes to the brand you choose. There are many cost effective low end bassinets that meet the requirements to be called such but they present little value when it comes down to how safe your child is.
Quality hardwood furniture is always safer than furniture that is designed to come apart in mere seconds. It’s just common sense that furniture that is glued together with solid joints will be safer than mass produced pop metal and plastic parts. Plastic bassinets tout the ability to play music or have low-end mobiles but they can present hazards like choking. These are non-existent issues with quality hardwood bassinets. Not only do low quality plastic bassinets present hazards they present very low quality for their cost. You will absolutely pay more for hardwood furniture but it will have a higher quality than anything you can get at large economy super stores.
Hardwood furniture can be polished and stained for generations to help preserve value and to distribute the cost over several children, even several generations. It’s very possible that a baby’s bassinet could serve as a family heirloom that could be passed down to that child when they are ready to bring their own bundles of joy into the world. Quality furniture has always been one of the most popular heirlooms. It’s easy for a person to have a connection with a piece of furniture that coddled them as an infant.
If your decision is to use a bassinet for the first several months of your child’s like make sure you pay attention to the quality of the product you are considering purchasing and make sure you research to find any issues that may be known about to ensure you are picking the highest quality and safest piece of furniture for your baby. They will thank you for it some day!
