At Angelbliss, we combine thoughtful design with strict safety standards to provide cradles that support your baby's growth from day one. Discover how our bassinets help your baby sleep better and allow you to relax.
Why Bassinets Matter: Safe Sleep Made Simple
Newborns sleep over 15 hours daily – their sleeping environment is crucial. At Angelbliss, we design bassinets with essential parent needs in mind:
-
Promote Airflow: Mesh walls facilitate free air circulation, keeping your little one cool and comfortable.
-
Adapt to Your Needs: Features like height settings allow you to adjust the bed level, often matching your mattress height for easier night feedings.
-
Designed for Movement: Some designs fold for easier transport, allowing you to carry them between rooms, store them, or take them in the car.
Traditional cribs can often feel too large for a newborn and less convenient for nighttime access. Our bassinets are smaller and offer a cozier feel, designed to make nighttime care easier while maintaining your baby's safety. The breathable mesh walls ensure proper air circulation, and adjustable heights can fit your bed, reducing the need for excessive bending.
Additionally, certain designs fold quickly, offering the convenience to move them easily, whether within your home or for visits elsewhere.
Key Features to Consider Before Buying
When shopping for a baby bassinet, keep these features in mind:
-
Portability & Weight: Look for designs that are easy to fold, lightweight for carrying, and offer compact storage. This facilitates moving it from room to room or transporting it.
-
Accessories & Compatibility: Ensure the bassinet includes or is compatible with appropriate sheets and covers. Some models may include a travel bag.
-
Safety & Comfort: Paramount Importance:
-
Meets Safety Standards: Prioritize products that meet established safety guidelines from trusted organizations. Look for items that have passed testing and certification for infant protection.
-
Firm, Comfortable Mattress: Choose a bassinet with a mattress that is firm yet provides adequate support and comfort.
-
Safe, Non-Toxic Materials: The bassinet should be constructed from safe, non-toxic materials.
-
-
Ease of Cleaning: As babies can be messy, select a bassinet that is easy to clean. Look for removable parts or washable materials to maintain hygiene.

Ensuring Your Baby's Sleep Safety: Expert-Recommended Usage Tips
Having a safe bassinet is fundamental, but following safe usage practices is equally critical. These guidelines are based on recommendations from pediatric experts:
-
Always Place Baby on Their Back: For every sleep instance, naps or nighttime, your baby should always be placed on their back on the firm, flat mattress.
-
Maintain a Clear Sleep Area: The bassinet should contain only your baby and a fitted sheet on the firm mattress. Remove all loose items, including blankets, pillows, stuffed animals, bumper pads, wedges, or extra padding, as these present a suffocation hazard. A wearable blanket or sleep sack is a safer alternative for warmth.
-
Conduct Regular Safety Checks: Before each use, quickly inspect the bassinet to ensure the frame is stable, locking mechanisms are secure, and there are no loose or damaged parts.
-
Position Safely: Place the bassinet on a flat, stable surface, away from potential hazards such as windows (cords), heating elements, lamps, or electrical cords.
-
Adhere to Usage Limits: Most bassinets have specific age and weight limits (commonly around 5 months or 20 lbs), whichever milestone is reached first. Transition your baby to a crib when they demonstrate the ability to roll over, which normally happens between three and four months of age. (Note: Your original text says 3-4 months for rolling. The BN08 mention says 6 months for smaller babies. Keep these consistent or clarify in the BN08 description that it may be used up to 6 months if baby hasn't reached developmental milestones or weight limit).
Addressing Common Concerns
"How long can my baby use a bassinet?"
Most bassinets are meant for babies up to 5 months old or 20 lbs, whichever comes first. However, the 3 in 1 Baby Bassinet Rocking Bassinet BN08 is mentioned as lasting longer because of its strong frame—it can be used until 6 months for smaller babies. Note that regardless of age/weight, your baby should transition to a crib when they can roll over or push up.
Using a baby bassinet in your nursery is an important way to keep your baby safe and comfortable during the first few months.
