Be The First One On Your Block - Choose the Round Bassinet!

Do you want the same old ho-hum nursery for your baby that your friends have created? Or, do you imagine walking into your nursery and seeing a glowing golden light cascading from above to rest upon and highlight your baby's bed with a beautiful amber glow? And don't forget hearing that familiar angelic "aaaaaaaaaaaa" tune that is experienced with these sightings!

Let's back up a little. When I first found out I was having a baby, I went through all the emotions and feelings you get when encountering your first pregnancy. One of my favorite things to sit and dream about was the way the baby's nursery would look - was the baby a girl or a boy, what colors would I choose, what theme would I choose - you get the picture. I am the type of person who wants uniqueness in her decor, and I quickly decided I wanted to have a round crib instead of a traditional rectangular style.

     I started doing internet research to see if I could find round cribs as the stores in my hometown of Las Vegas only carried traditional styles. I was shocked and very disappointed to find that the only round cribs in this style carried with them a hefty price tag from $1800 - 5000. I could actually feel my spirits deflating.

Recently, I discovered that bassinets were being offered in non-traditional styles, such as round, and I am sooo jealous that I have already had my three babies, and being recently divorced, don't know if I will have any more children that would need such a piece.

Round bassinets come in a variety of colors and wood finishes to complement any nursery decor, and are accessorized with beautiful canopies that make these pieces look almost like renaissance-era tents. And the best part of it all? They are priced in a family-friendly budget range so that any mom can now afford to own a round bassinet.

One of the best features of using a bassinet is the small enclosed space used for the baby. Newborn babies feel safer and are more comfortable in small, tight enclosures that more closely resemble their time in the womb. This in turn correlates to better sleep patterns for your baby.  (Priceless!!)

So, I suggest you click on the links below and discover for yourself just how beautiful your nursery can be with a distinctive round bassinet!

The Moses Basket Baby Bassinet - A Modern Day Miracle for New Moms

A little more than 4 years ago, I lay in a hospital room with a brand new tiny baby boy excited to take him home and start my new life as a mom. When we got home, and I put him in his crib for his first nap, he just looked teeny in that big bed! I was nervous the entire time he napped. All you hear when you're pregnant are warnings about SIDS and death by smothering and who knows what other garbage.

After he awoke, I remembered that a family friend had given me a moses basket baby bassinet. I ran upstairs and retrieved it and took it downstairs for him. How that bassinet changed my life as a new mom!

Never before had I known what a blessing a bassinet could be. Now, when I was downstairs going about my daily activities, he was there with me safe and secure in his little moses basket whether he was asleep or awake. And when I had a chore to do upstairs, I would transport him with me in the little bassinet. I could easily keep him close by at all times. I didn’t even take the baby monitor out of the box until he transitioned into his baby crib.
          My baby was able to sleep inside his bassinet with my husband and I in our room from the very first night. What was really incredible about that experience was that we were able to put his little baby bassinet between us in our king size bed so he could be up off the floor, out of any drafts, within reach, and yet completely protected from the two of us. It was such a feeling of security for the two of us to have the baby in our room where we could see and hear him, as we were both very much in the “nervous new parent” stage. 

Ooohh, and what about those late night feedings? It was almost too easy! I just had to sit up when he awoke hungry, take him out of the moses basket baby bassinet, and let him feed. (I nursed.) No fuss, no muss – I almost didn’t have to be completely awake as he was still safe and secure with me, and I just had to transfer him back to his moses basket when he was done. Also, I was able to reach him in the baby bassinet quickly when he awoke, making it less of a distraction to my husband’s sleep, as he, unfortunately, had to be up by 4:30 a.m.

I just cannot tell you how much peace of mind I received by using a moses basket baby bassinet for my newborn. Not only did he feel more comfortable with a smaller confined space, but I felt more comfortable always having him under my eye. I recommend that all mothers, whether new or not, purchase a bassinet for their newborns and receive the same peace of mind I did!
