Bassinet

Even though you have probably spent a lot of time fixing up your baby’s room, many first-time parents feel more comfortable keeping the baby close by for the first few months. This allows you to check on the baby throughout the night and lets you get to the baby quickly when it’s time for late night feedings.

Experts suggest setting the bassinet as close to your bed as you can, and make sure the mattress you choose is firm. Also make sure that the mattress reaches all the way to the edges so there are no gaps.
