My newborn baby niece shares the family bed. To ensure her safety, her parents bought the Deluxe Snuggle Nest.
The Deluxe Snuggle Nest offers comfort and womb-like security to newborn babies up to 3 months old. It has a clip-on nightlight that helps in checking and calming the baby without having to turn on the bedroom lamps that can startle the eyes. The Deluxe Snuggle Nest has an incline wedge that helps elevate the baby to help ease breathing when congested and can also reduce discomfort from indigestion and reflux.
The Deluxe Snuggle Nest has a waterproof foam mattress with a cotton sheet that can be removed and washed. It even comes with mesh-covered sleep positioners that help prevent roll-overs by keeping the baby in the proper position. The open-weave mesh fabric improves air circulation around the baby.
My sister-in-law loves using this product. Being a stay at home mom and busy with household chores and taking care of another daughter, she sometimes need to leave the baby while asleep on the bed. Since the Deluxe Snuggle Nest helps secure her baby in place, she can do about her daily chores, keeping a watchful eye on her baby while she works close by.
At night when they go to bed, the Deluxe Snuggle Nest helps in making sure that my baby niece doesn’t roll-over keeping her safe from getting into a wrong position that may cause suffocation caused by getting trapped in the adult’s beddings. It is best to position the Deluxe Snuggle Nest flanked by the parents’ pillows at the head level. The walls surrounding the product block the pillows from getting close to the baby’s head. The rear wall and base reduces risk of entrapment between the mattress and the headboard. .
The Deluxe Snuggle Nest is designed for newborns, from birth until they begin to push up or rollover, or up to approximately 3 months old, which is generally the same age as a bassinet allows. Once the baby has outgrown the Deluxe Snuggle Nest, it can be used as a handy changing area. It is portable that it can be folded and carried anywhere.
The Deluxe Snuggle Nest was designed to incorporate preventative safety features, which are recommended by the SIDS Alliance. According to the label and website, these features include as quoted:
“FIRM PAD – Provides firm sleeping surface
ENVELOPE SHEET – Reduces hazard of loose sheeting
RIGID TRAY – Covers crack between adult mattress and headboard and blocks adult pillows from baby’s sleeping area
POSITIONING – By being positioned at adult head level, the infant rests in a clear and open area, free of adult bedding and adult bodies ”
The lower open area of the Deluxe Snuggle Nest helps in easy access to pick up the baby or change diapers in the middle of the night. So there is no need for the parent to leave the bed when tending to the baby at night.
The Deluxe Snuggle Nest retails for about $49.99 you can buy extra sheets for $9.99 each. It comes in three different playful patterns and colors. My sister-in-law bought the Deluxe Snuggle Nest at Babies ‘R Us. You can check the company website at www.snugglenest.com for more information on this product. My sister-in-law and I highly recommend this product for new mothers.
