I took my kids to the park a few days ago, and when I looked back at some photos I took, I saw this:
That, folks, is not a baby. That is a full-on toddler, diving headfirst right into everything at the playground…and right out of her tiny baby things.
Like her swaddlers and HALO SleepSacks. Oh, the day I packed them away made me cry. Just a little, but there were tears.
But no worries…we’ve moved on to bigger and better (and much more mobile) things, and our Little E will be rocking a HALO Early Walker lightweight knit sleepsack from now on! It has footholes in the bottom so she can go, go go and just pull her tootsies in when it’s time to sleep. It also has the signature bottom-up zipper for easy diaper changes.
The lightweight knit is a great replacement for pajamas because it’s breathable and helps her feel cozy without getting hot. They have a heavier microfleece for winter, and we’ll definitely be adding that to her stash (there’s a ladybug print!) We need a few in the rotation since we use them every night!
We’ve been trusting HALO® to help us create a safe sleep environment for our babies since their hospital days, and we trust that the company as a whole is dedicated to constant innovation when it comes to keeping babies not just comfy, but as safe as can be.
The Bassinest™ Swivel Sleeper
Now, there’s something new from HALO, and I sure wish I had had one when my babies were born!
Their brand new baby bassinet product – the BassinestTM Swivel Sleeper. With its unique dual-swivel design, the Bassinest is the only bassinet that moves to bring baby to mom. It allows baby to sleep as close as Mom wants – even right next to her in bed – so baby can sleep close AND safe.
Unlike some co-sleeping products on the market that do not address the safety concerns of bed-sharing, the Bassinest Swivel Sleeper is the first bassinet product to provide both convenience and safety. Baby sleeps in his/her own separate sleep area, reducing the risks associated with bed-sharing. Mom can easily get in and out of bed, as well as tend to baby without having to get up.

We put our babies to bed on their backs without pillows.
We have them on their back and try to keep all blankets and toys out of their crib.
I’m pretty paranoid about following all the right advice – back to sleep, no loose objects, etc.
Would LOVE this bassinet!
We love sleep sacs and we also don’t use bumpers or pillows in the bed. I can’t believe how big your daughter is getting! She is adorable!! I really would love to have the bassinest for our next baby! It looks so nice!

I keep fans on at night for air circulation!
No loose bedding, pillows, etc.
No baby bumpers and a firm mattress!
No loose bedding.
We do not put any blankets in the crib and we make sure there isn’t anything within grabbing distance that could be a hazard.
On his back in a sleep sack!
Our kiddo isn’t here yet but one of my plans to keep the little one safe is to purchase (or hopefully win!) a bassinest! Love the design.
No Loose Bedding
I keep them safe with No loose bedding or pillows and always on the back.
We make sure there are no blankets in bed with baby.
Always lay your baby on its back with no toys or blankets around.
I create a safe sleeping environment by tight sheets, no blanket, pillows, or cushy bumper pads.
I put them to sleep on their backs on a firm mattress. With nothing around, including bumper guards.
We swaddle and use sleep sacks and pacifiers!
