- ryanisnan 4y agoI've heard a lot of good things about the https://www.happiestbaby.com/products/snoo-smart-bassinet https://www.happiestbaby.com/products/snoo-smart-bassinet. It's expensive but my first child slept terribly; I'm not taking chances with my second.
- ledauphin 4y agowe bought one of these and returned it - it was not magical enough for our child, apparently.
- sacrosancty 4y agohuman physical contact ftw. All these devices are just a substitute for a mother.
- mupuff1234 4y ago1700$ for a basket??
- flappyeagle 4y ago1700 for a quiet baby. You buy the holes not the drill
- ryanisnan 4y agoThis is right. I am not interested in the basket at all. I'm interested in not being sleep deprived quite like I was the first time around.
- based69 4y agoWas very effective for a couple i know, so much so that the baby had a very flat head from sleeping so much
- mattlondon 4y agoEvery baby is different. From our experience - and of course every baby is different - we found consistency is key. New borns need to nap like every hour and you as parents need to actively manage those naps to make sure they happen at the right time, and you do the same set of things each time so soon enough baby knows that when you do foo that sleep time is coming and they calm down. Foo could be singing or a special story or getting into a sleep sack or music or whatever. Then just into a normal cot and they slept soundly. The other thing we found that was essential is a £10 gym/yoga ball to slowly bounce/jiggle on while holding them. Worked really well for us (as part of the routine). Good luck. Perhaps as every baby is different you really need the 2k cot, good luck either way.
- lynguist 4y agoI found that the more you carry your child the less she cries. I was just carrying my child wherever I went with a strap around my front, which I found more practical than a buggy until she became too heavy. I read a study that children that are carried all the time cry a substantial amount less than children that are not, something like half an hour less per day.
- Markoff 4y agoit's not about carrying, but proximity to mother/parents body with human warmth obviously baby which is held/touched by another human, ideally mother/father will cry less than baby alone from adults even if it means 0.5-1 m distance
