Baby Nests

The hugely popular baby nests originate from Sweden and are nowadays seen as a real baby must have. The soft, movable cushion or basket provides a comfortable resting place for your baby. Baby nests are light, compact and easy to transport. Great to use at home, but also ideal to take with you when you go out. Your baby plays, relaxes and takes wonderfully dreamy naps in the soft fabric nest.

Why a baby nest?

In general, baby nests are a kind of large pillow with a raised, padded edge. There’re also variants that look like a basket with a soft mattress. The high brim gives your baby a sense of security while sleeping, playing or resting. It also offers a safe feeling when your baby sleeps in your bed. The playpen or cot bed feels a lot less large when your newborn baby lays comfortably in the baby nest.

This is how you use the baby nest

Use the baby nest for about 6 months, until your baby rolls over on its own. Place your baby on the back in the nest with the head at the curve and the feet at the tip. The raised edge can pose a choking hazard if your child rolls face-down against it. Always be there when the nest is in use. Always place the baby nest on a flat surface. This will prevent your baby from falling when it moves around too much. Wash the baby nest in its entirety or simply throw the removable cover in the washing machine. Always check the washing instructions before you get started. To prevent unnecessary washing, your baby lies on a hydrophilic cloth in the baby nest. Don’t just move your baby into a soft fabric one. These are not made for this and can fold in half. A sturdy baby basket or the variants with strong handles are intended as a carrycot. These make it possible to move your little one while sleeping. This way you avoid dragging around travel cots or strollers.

Types of baby nests and accessories

Baby nests are immensely popular and available in different types, styles and materials. Choose your favorite colour or go for a trendy print. There are also various options to provide your baby with even more comforts. Your baby will have hours of fun with a baby nest with a play arch. Some models are equipped with an elastic with which you can easily make the nest bigger and smaller. Your little one gets a protective feeling, because it fits perfectly in the baby nest. Special stands are available for baby baskets. Some even have a special rocking function that will quickly rock your baby to sleep. If possible, an extra cover is not an unnecessary luxury. This way you always have a clean cover ready after an accident.
