4 Wearable Blanket Materials to Keep Your Baby Comfortable and Safe

Preparing for a baby can be a whirlwind of excitement and joy mixed with a little trepidation. One of the most important things ways to prepare involves arranging a safe environment for your baby to sleep. Once your baby arrives, they will need to be laid down to sleep on their back in a separate space, such as a bedside bassinet, with a fitted sheet and no blankets. Instead of blankets, it’s in your baby’s best interest for you to find a wearable blanket or a sleep sack. You can find this sleep essential designed with different materials.

100% Cotton   Cotton is a classic choice for your baby’s wearable blanket, sleep sack, or swaddle. Its absorbent material is convenient when you have a baby who is somehow always wet on some part of their body. The TOG value—the thermal insulation measurement—is usually low with cotton sleepwear. Depending on sleepwear style, the TOG for a cotton sleep sack can be 0.5 for a wearable blanket and 1.5 for a swaddle. However, you can layer clothes underneath this material if your baby isn’t warm enough.   Cozy Micro-Fleece   Micro-fleece is a thin and cozy material. It’s easy to wash and dries very quickly. The moisture-wicking fabric is well-insulated, and it can keep your baby comfortable. However, consider carefully whether or not your baby would wear any clothing under a micro-fleece wearable blanket or sleep sack swaddle, depending on the temperature. These options can have a TOG of 1.0 or 3.0, respectively. A bonus for both micro-fleece and cotton is that many companies offer them in a variety of cute patterns.   Soft Muslin   Muslin is a fabric you may associate with swaddling blankets rather than wearable sleep sacks. HALO® Sleep designed the perfect example of a comfortable muslin wearable blanket with their SleepSack® Platinum Quilted Muslin product. The gentle, finely woven muslin material is lined with quilted fabric for the sleepwear with a TOG value of 1.0. This wearable blanket and the HALO® Sleep bassinet that vibrates are excellent products that help your baby get to sleep safely and comfortably.   Plush Velboa    Even if you’ve never heard of velboa, you might be more familiar with this material than you think. It can be considered a faux fur fabric, but infant sleepwear made with velboa may feel like an even cozier microfleece. Velboa is a durable, machine-washable fabric. Despite its durability, the material is super soft; even cuddly. The TOG value for velboa sleepwear sits between 1.0 for a wearable blanket and 3.0 for a sleep sack swaddle.   If you don’t know what material will work best, remember that your first choice does not have to be the only option for your baby. You can allow them to try out different materials as long as the TOG value is in-line with their sleep environment. You must also think about how the atmosphere can change throughout the year depending the weather outside and inside of the home. Once you have everything prepared, you can find out which material allows your baby to sleep comfortably in their environment.   About HALO® Sleep    Innovation and safety come together in the safe sleep products from HALO® Sleep. For over twenty-five years, HALO® Sleep has been working hard to provide new and growing families with bedside bassinets and wearable blankets for a safer sleep environment. Since they first designed the HALO® SleepSack®, the wearable blanket has remained a preferred product of families and hospitals nationwide, and HALO® Sleep a trusted resource for modern parents.

What Does It Mean to be JPMA Certified?

You work hard and to great lengths to keep your baby safe. You do your research, and you find the best products for all aspects of their young life, including their sleep environment. There are companies designing products that do the same thing. They are committed to keeping your baby safe, and it shows through their certifications, labels, and the rigorous testing they go through to pass. One such seal of approval is the JPMA certification, and you can find it on high-quality, safe products such as bedside bassinets, wearable blankets, and other offerings from companies committed to safety.

What Does JPMA Mean? JPMA is an acronym for the Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association. They are the industry’s voice on quality and safety standards for baby products, including products like the bedside bassinet from HALO® Sleep. On the JPMA website, you can uncover extensive information about 95% of prenatal to preschool products in North America. These products are for nurseries, stroller use, playtime, feeding, safety, and infant care. They are a comprehensive source for baby product information and education. Who Needs to Get Certified? Joining the JPMA and getting certified is not mandatory. The companies who volunteer to have their products certified are rewarded for their dedication through your satisfaction with the safety of their products. They go through additional product testing and evaluation with constructive guidance from community and industry experts. The JPMA connects companies to you, your family, and the infant-safety community as a whole. How Does a Product Become Certified? A product that is safe for your baby can receive its JPMA certified seal after rigorous testing. Of course, the product must meet the minimum government requirements based on safety, as well as state laws and retail requirements. The testing is based on the American Society for Testing and Materials standards (now referred to as ASTM). A company must volunteer to have their product tested through an independent lab process. Once it meets all the requirements, it can get its JPMA seal. Where Can You Find Certified Products? You can find every product with a JPMA seal on the JPMA website. You can even search for specific brands to find out if they are a part of the association. Make sure you check thoroughly. If two brands are under the same ownership, they may be categorized together on the JPMA website. Companies will also list their JPMA certifications on their own websites, so check for them while you shop. Why Should You Use a JPMA Certified Product? Ultimately, a product with a JPMA seal is going to help keep your baby as safe as possible. They dedicate themselves to supporting you using innovative products that are truly safe. With them, you can find a safe option for a wearable blanket, twin bassinet, or newborn bassinet insert. More than anything else, the JPMA member companies are committed to your family’s safety. In addition to being JPMA certified, products for babies and children should meet uniform safety standards. In the United States, this includes standards set by the Consumer Product Safety Commission and the ASTM specifications for infant sleeping accommodations. They must also meet the requirements of any other country where their products are sold. These safety certifications and standards are examples of the lengths that companies should go to help you keep your growing family as safe as possible.

4 Ways to Protect Your Baby and Their Hips

You can be fully invested in your baby’s physical development without being totally familiar with some important terms. When you bought your baby’s swaddle, had you ever heard of infant hip dysplasia? It’s the term used for a loose hip or unstable hip joint. Infant hip dysplasia can be caused by a baby’s birth position, their weight, or a tight swaddle, among other risk factors. While it may not be painful for your baby, you can help prevent hip dysplasia from impacting their quality of life by establishing routines for hip safety.

Put Baby in a Hip-Safe Swaddle A hip-healthy swaddle has a roomy sack design that does not restrict the movement of your baby’s little legs. That means that even when your baby is swaddled, they can kick their legs and feet about the sack freely and without interference. This can ensure that your baby’s legs can develop properly. You can look for a swaddle that is recognized by the International Hip Dysplasia Institute as Hip Healthy. Give Baby a Separate Place to Sleep There can be no reason for you to risk the dangers associated with bed-sharing. Your baby needs a separate place to sleep without any loose bedding or objects that could injure them or inhibit proper breathing. When you’re creating a safe environment for your baby to sleep, you can use a bedside bassinet. These offer your baby a flat surface to sleep, and several types feature mesh walls to help you keep an eye on them even if you’re not standing up. A bassinet that vibrates can help keep your baby safe and soothe them into a night of rest. Lay Baby on Their Back An important tip that can help ensure your baby sleeps safely is to lay them on their back in their bedside bassinet. Until your baby learns to roll, laying them on their back can reduce the dangers associated with sleep. Plus, your baby can freely move their legs around in their sleep sack when they are on their backs. Kick up. Kick out. Kick off to the side. You name it. Your baby can kick in that way when they are properly swaddled and put on their back in their bedside bassinet. This can be essential to healthy hip development. Transition Baby with Proper Sleepwear When your baby shows signs of rolling, it’s time to transition away from swaddling. Like the swaddle, the wearable blanket provides your baby with ample legroom to protect their hips. You can transition your baby to a wearable blanket that allows them to move their arms freely. Some high-quality swaddles, like the ones from HALO® Sleep, have a three-way swaddle that can help make the transition easier for your baby. There are many nuances to infant hip safety that you may overlook in your excitement and enthusiasm about providing your baby with a safe sleep environment. However, allowing your baby to develop safely physically can contribute to a healthier and happier future. About HALO® Sleep HALO® Sleep can help you find the resources you need to create a safe sleep environment for your baby and stay informed about the most up-to-date safe sleep practices. Their safe sleep products include the innovative wearable blanket, the SleepSack® Swaddle, and their advanced bedside bassinets and twin bassinet in the BassiNest® collection. For over 25 years, HALO® Sleep has committed themselves to helping you keep your baby safe from the first time they fall asleep in their bedside bassinet.

Why TOG Value Is Important to Keeping Your Baby Safe

Your baby’s sleep environment is essential to keeping your baby safe. Many factors can contribute to creating a safe sleep space for your baby, including what they wear. As you sift through seemingly endless options for baby garments, you may realize that some of them feature a TOG value or TOG rating. This is the unit of measurement for thermal insulation used in the textile trade, commonly attributed to infant sleepwear or blankets. You can use safe sleep information as a resource to help to keep your baby comfortable and protected at bedtime.

What Can Your Baby Wear to Sleep? First of all, there should be no loose garments, blankets, pillows, or plush items of any kind on or around your baby when they sleep. To help keep them safe at bedtime, you can swaddle your baby in a safe sleep swaddle or wearable blanket that fits snuggly around their body. Your baby can wear a layer of clothing underneath their sleep sack, depending on the TOG value of the sleeping garment. There are also new and innovative designs from HALO® Sleep, a purveyor of safe sleepwear and sleep products for infants, like their IntelliThread™ Tech Fabric that help regulate the temperature of your baby’s sleepwear. How Can You Determine the Right TOG Value? You can find a TOG value or rating scale for your baby’s sleep sack garment on the seller’s website. If it is not easily accessible, you can always find resources such as the HALO® Sleep blog. The TOG value for your baby’s sleepwear is dependent on the temperature of the room they sleep in. If the room temperature where your baby sleeps is kept below 64°F at night, the TOG value of their sleep garment can be a 3.0 rating. If the room is between 68°F and 72°F, then the TOG value should have a 1.5 rating. TOG values can be attributed to both swaddling garments and wearable blankets. Where Can Your Baby Sleep Safely? Once you’ve dressed your baby in a swaddle or a wearable blanket, you can ease them into a night of safe and comfortable sleep. Your baby should never be put to sleep beside you in bed. Room-sharing can be beneficial, but bed-sharing must be avoided for the safety of your baby. If you choose to have your baby sleep near you, you can lay them down safely on their back in a bedside bassinet. This can help you and your baby avoid the dangers of unsafe sleep practices and stay comfortable in your separate spaces. You can keep yourself informed of the up-to-date standards for a baby-safe sleep environment. It can help keep your baby safe and give you peace of mind. Plus, safe sleep is not without innovative technology. Once you’ve found a SleepSack® Swaddle or wearable blanket that keeps your baby comfortable in their sleeping environment, you can place them into a bassinet that vibrates or plays soothing noises. Using technology to help create a safe, peaceful setting for sleep can be an excellent way to keep you and your baby happy. About HALO® Sleep HALO® Sleep can help you find the resources you need to create a safe sleep environment for your baby and stay informed about the most up-to-date safe sleep practices.

3 Features to Look for in a Bedside Bassinet

The bedside bassinet is a cornerstone of sleep safety for your baby. After all, the period of time after your baby’s birth is the time for you to nurture them as well as a time for the mother to recover. While you can find different types of bedside bassinets available with varying characteristics, it’s important to research what’s best for your family. You may discover that certain aspects of a bassinet can make it a safer option. Consider the following bedside bassinet features to help keep your growing family safe and comfortable.

360° Swivel for Convenience and Comfort Bassinets provide parents and caregivers a way to remain close to their baby without the hazards of bed-sharing. However, a stationary bassinet can be difficult to move around, sometimes forcing parents to crawl around them. This may be awkward and painful for mothers who are still recovering from either a natural or a cesarean-section birth. A 360° swivel can allow parents to gently and safely move their baby’s sleeping area out of the way for maximum flexibility and efficiency. Lowering Bedside Wall for an Easy Transition Bassinets with bedside walls that lower can give you safe and convenient access to your baby. You can gently lift your baby out of the bassinet to feed them or comfort them, and then return them safely to their bassinet. A high-quality bassinet with a lowering bedside wall will also offer the ability to return the wall to its upright position and lock the wall in place for security. A bedside bassinet with a lowering wall can be made with a mesh material, allowing you to monitor your baby after you return them to the bassinet to ensure they remain calm or asleep. Gentle Nursing Wake-Up Alert for Safety A unique feature of some high-quality bassinets is the nursing wake-up button. This feature can help support exhausted parents who are navigating life with a newborn and experiencing sleep deprivation. Babies need to eat throughout the night, which means you or your partner may not be fully awake when feeding your baby. A nursing wake-up button serves as a reminder to stay awake and return the baby to their bedside bassinet. Once the baby is back in the bassinet, you can return to sleep with the knowledge that your baby is safe and was well-tended to. Bedside bassinets can be indispensable when creating safe environments for babies and their caregivers. You can provide your baby with protection and comfort with a bedside bassinet that vibrates. Bassinets like the HALO® Sleep BassiNest® can offer caregivers a convenient and secure bedside bassinet, along with features like a 360° swivel and lowering beside wall. With the right bedside bassinet, you can help your baby sleep soundly while you experience the joy of watching them develop happily and healthfully. About HALO® Sleep HALO® Sleep is dedicated to designing high-quality infant sleep products that help keep your little ones as safe as possible.

How to Personalize Your Baby’s Safe Sleep Space

From the time before your baby’s birth and all the way through their early years, you can make changes to their sleeping environment. As you create this safe area for your infant to sleep, you may want to add a personal touch. This personalization offers you a way to make the experience more interesting and enjoyable for your baby, along with providing you the opportunity to observe and discover how sights and sounds stimulate your baby. Here are four ways to customize your baby’s sleep space.

Select a Cute Sleep Sack In the beginning, you may pick out a wearable blanket or sleep sack based on your own preferences. As you get to know your baby, you can select a sleep sack that corresponds to your growing baby’s size, along with a design that matches their personality. To ensure their comfort and safety, you should select the material of your baby’s sleep sack based on the temperature of their sleep environment. Your baby’s sleep sack is not just for appearances: It’s there to help your little one stay safe and comfortable. Use Their Favorite Bassinet Features Bedside bassinets can be an important part of a baby’s safe sleep environment, as they provide a means for you to stay close to your baby without the dangers of bed-sharing. Some high-quality bassinets feature a lowering bassinet wall that facilitates easy access to your baby, as well as quick and safe returns. With a multifaceted bassinet that vibrates and plays lullabies, you can uncover their favorite soothing sounds and customize your baby’s bedtime routine, helping them ease them into a restful mindset. Accessorize with a Mobile Hanging a mobile over the bed can be a fun way to accessorize a bedside bassinet and engage your baby. If you’ve noticed they take an interest in creatures like owls, then you can seek out a mobile that features cute caricatures of the bird. Otherwise, you may prefer a simple design, like pom-poms, which twirl and bounce safely above your baby to entertain them as they are lulled into a sleepy-time daydream. Stay Prepared with Early Walker Essentials If you’ve been blessed with an early walker, there are wearable blankets that don’t inhibit leg movement. You can find attractive designs for this early walker essential and replace loose blankets in the crib. Your little one’s space can support their newfound mobility while continuing to keep them safe—a safe, high-quality option for those babies who can’t wait to kick those legs and get moving. Personalizing your infant’s sleep space is one way to create a safe environment and note any development markers for your little one. You can rest easy knowing you are taking steps to keep your baby safe and satisfied, and they can enjoy the extra measures you’ve employed to help them feel secure and comfortable as they drift off to a sound sleep.

4 Reasons to Use a Swiveling Bassinet for Your Newborn

A newborn baby needs to be consistently cared for under the watchful eyes of their parents. This can seem overwhelming, especially when you’re new to the parenting circle, which is why you need to prepare yourself, your partner, and your home with tools to help you safely tend to your baby. A bassinet featuring a 360° swivel function can be a fantastic baby product to help keep you and your little one safe and comfortable.

It Follows Safe Sleep Practices You should never allow yourself to fall asleep with your baby next to you in a bed, on a couch, in a chair, or anywhere else for that matter. Falling asleep with your baby is incredibly dangerous and potentially deadly. A bedside bassinet is already a safer way to create a space for your infant to sleep, but a bassinet that can swivel makes it easier to bring your baby close to you in bed safely. It’s Easier on Mom’s Recovery The swiveling functionality on a bedside bassinet may be beneficial during a time of recovery, especially for mothers who have recently returned home, breastfeeding mothers, and c-section mothers. Not only is Mom trying to recover from childbirth, but she may also be the primary caregiver who may require additional assistance from innovative, safe sleep products. With a bassinet that swivels, Mom can rotate the bassinet over the bed for a safer avenue by which she can tend to her baby. Premium brands will offer additional features, such as a feeding timer, which can alert an exhausted mother when feeding time is over and it’s time to put her baby back in the bassinet. It Encourages Bonding with Baby There aren’t many bassinets that offer you the convenience of being able to rotate your baby’s sleep space to help you safely care for your infant. It’s a great way to help your baby feel close to their parents without putting them in a dangerous position. To encourage bonding with your baby, find a swiveling bedside bassinet with mesh sides so that you can easily see your little one. If you have twins, find a twin bassinet with mesh sides and a mesh divider in addition to a 360° swiveling function. It Creates a Peaceful Environment A high-quality bassinet can come equipped with additional equipment to help create a more comfortable environment for your baby to sleep safely. If you purchase a bassinet that vibrates, includes an amber nightlight, and uses soothing sounds, you may find that it also offers comforts and conveniences for caregivers. Storage pockets, a waterproof pad, and machine-washable sheets can help you maintain a safe, clean, and serene space for your infant to get quality rest. A bassinet that can swivel 360° like the one offered by HALO® Sleep is the ideal way to support a safe sleep environment for you and your infant. You can take care of your newborn in their bassinet with the added safety of a newborn insert or tend to an infant up to about 5 months old. The swiveling function on a high-quality bedside bassinet can be the best way to employ safe sleep practices by providing your baby with their own separate surface to sleep on while you continue to care for them at bedtime. About HALO® Sleep Dedicated to helping you keep your baby as safe as possible, HALO® Sleep creates innovative and high-quality infant sleep products. They are a trusted resource for parents to find safe sleep products that can help prevent dangerous sleep situations and positions.

3 Safe-Space Strategies for Your Baby in the New Year

Entering a new year with a new baby can be a remarkable experience. There are so many “firsts.” Your baby may get to see their first snow, hear their first winter-themed song, wear their first baby parka, or it could be the first time your baby sleeps the whole night through, which could be a huge step for their development. Wherever they are on their journey through the early stages of growth, your baby must be kept safe and comfortable during times of sleep and rest so that they can experience many more wonderful “firsts.” To ensure your baby sleeps safely in their bedside bassinet, here are some measures you can take that can make all the difference.

Dress Baby in Safe Sleepwear You want your baby to be comfortable and cozy, but it is critical that they do not become overheated. An overheated baby is at higher risk of SIDS. You can find a wearable blanket or a SleepSack® Swaddle that can be adjusted for the proper temperature to meet safe TOG values. A TOG value is the international standard measurement of how well a blanket can keep you warm. You can also adjust your baby’s sleepwear to suit any seasonal weather changes. Winter months such as January are likely colder than summer months like July (or the opposite in the southern hemisphere). Create a Safe Sleeping Space for Baby In addition to providing comfortable sleepwear for bedtime, your baby must be placed on their back to sleep in a safe space. Before your baby is 6 months old, room sharing may be encouraged, but bed-sharing with your baby is NOT. Use a bedside bassinet that meets current safety standards. It should have a firm mattress with a tight-fitting sheet to ensure your baby is in the safest environment possible. You will also want to clear any soft objects out of the bassinet to remove the hazards that can cause suffocation. If you have twins, make sure they are separated by a breathable mesh wall, which can be found in a high-quality twin bassinet. Keep Mommy and Baby Comfortable Not only is it important to employ the proper measures for your baby to sleep safely, but it’s also important that all of your designated caregivers are prepared to tend to the baby’s needs. This is easier when the parents’ comfort and recovery are taken into consideration. Mom can have an opportunity to recuperate, and it can be easier for her to take care of her young one, with a bedside bassinet that vibrates. Your baby will need to be fed at least once throughout the night. A bassinet that swivels and vibrates can make it easier for your baby to get back to sleep without being in the arms of an exhausted parent who may not be able to keep their eyes open after their baby is fed. Ultimately, your baby’s safety comes first no matter the time of year, and you always have the power to implement safety measures that can make all the difference when it comes to sleep safety. About HALO® Sleep Dedicated to helping you keep your baby as safe as possible, HALO® Sleep creates innovative and high-quality infant sleep products.

3 Tips to Navigate the Holiday with More Than One Baby

It may be your first year as a new parent of twins, or you’re going into the season with your second beautiful babe on board. It’s exciting and new, but the holidays can also feel overwhelming if you’re not getting enough sleep or you’re adjusting to a new routine. When it’s your first holiday with more than one baby, you can get through the season with informative resources and innovative products to help keep you and your little ones safe.

Set Boundaries You are a growing family, and for the safety of you and your babies, you can decide how to approach the holidays in a way that fits into your new lifestyle. The last thing you want to do is expose your babies to discomforts or throw off a new routine right after they’ve adjusted. You may have only recently helped twins fully adjust to a twin bassinet, which separates the babies with a divider while they sleep. This is a big win for you and the family’s sleep schedule. You may not want to alter their sleeping conditions so quickly. If you still want to see friends and family during the holidays, ask if they would be willing to come to you, so you don’t risk the safety and comfort of your babies. Prioritize Safety Enjoy the season and take any seasonal hazards into account. Close friends and family may want to help you welcome infants to the family, but they can be unaware of what’s appropriate for certain stages of development. If you feel that a particular gift is too advanced for your children, you can keep it tucked away until they get older. It’s better to keep your babies safe and healthy than put them at risk for the sake of pleasing a relative. Remember also that toys are for playtime and should be left far away from any place they can put your children at risk, such as in the bedside bassinet or the crib. Take A Moment For Yourself When the day is winding down, and others take the time to relax, you may have your hands full with your two infants or your twins. If you think you need help and it’s available to you, ask for it. Your partner, your close relatives, and your best friends want to support you during this time. Even if it’s just ten minutes to take a hot shower or get ready for bed, you still need to take care of yourself. You can provide your babies with proper supervision and attention from a loved one, and set them down in a comfortable twin bassinet that vibrates. Ensure that the acting guardian knows and follows the American Academy of Pediatrics safe sleep guidelines and always keeps safety at the forefront of their mind. These are some of the little things you can do that may make all the difference in your first holiday season with two infants. About HALO® Sleep HALO® Sleep is a company committed to helping you keep your young family safe from the moment they arrive in your home. They want to help inform and protect you and your family using the innovative and specially designed products, including the HALO® SleepSack® and HALO® BassiNest™ collections.

How to Build a Bond and Set Up a Sleep Routine with Twins

As parents, bringing newborn twins into your home is the start of something new in your life and theirs. Not only are you juggling two new babies, but you’re also managing feeding, napping, and sleep-time schedules for the whole family. Even in the face of this new lifestyle, you can establish beneficial practices and use tools such as a bedside bassinet to help your twins build and maintain their special bond while encouraging safe routines for everyone in the home.

Encourage Closeness While Everyone Is Awake It can be tempting to allow your twins to sleep side-by-side. However, this can be dangerous for babies, and you want to reduce any risks associated with any bed-sharing. You might feel too exhausted to move, especially with two babies. However, the American Academy of Pediatrics safe sleep guidelines state that it is safest for babies to sleep on a firm, flat surface by themselves with no blanket or stuffed animals. These recommendations can reduce the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) and keep babies safe. That being said, you can encourage closeness between you, your partner, and your twins with a twin bassinet. This will keep them close to your bed and each other, while keeping their sleep spaces separate and maintaining safe practices. The best time to encourage closeness is while everyone is awake. Coordinate Nap Time Ensuring your twins are actually awake at the same time involves some strategy, especially at the start. You can help encourage similar schedules by coordinating feeding and sleeping times. This means that if one baby wakes up from a nap hungry, you can decide whether or not it’s best to wake the other twin so that they can both be fed, awake, and asleep at the same—or nearly the same—times. The most important part here is safety. Decide what course of action can keep you and your twins feeling safe during feeding and napping times. Communicate with Your Partner As your twins get older, you and your partner can help their development by communicating openly with each other. What are your expectations for the role you each play in taking care of your twins, and how can you support each other in times of exhaustion while maintaining safe practices to keep your twins safe? This can look like ensuring one parent is on the look-out to keep the other parent awake during feedings and skin-to-skin time. It could also mean working together to determine the proper age to transition your twins from their bedside bassinet that vibrates to a crib. Get on the same page as your support system so that you can promote safe practices for your twins. It’s your job to keep your little ones safe as they build a relationship with you and with each other. Whether they need to be fed or put down for their nap, you can help establish schedules to ease them into each new stage of life.

3 Common Baby Sleep Problems and How to Address Them

During the first year, your baby is likely to have sleeping problems every now and then. Some problems, like bad habits, can be phased out, while others, like sleep regression, can seem to persist no matter how you put your baby in the bedside bassinet. Here are some tips that will help both you and your baby get more sleep. Remember that your baby is likely to cry at first with any of these, as they adjust to the changes.

Sleeping During the Day, Staying Awake at Night It’s not uncommon for newborns to mix up night and day cycles. Their circadian rhythm hasn’t fully adjusted to being out of the womb, making them stay awake all night while sleeping during the day, which is likely the opposite of what you usually do. To help your baby correct their sleep cycles, start limiting daytime naps to about three hours. Take them outside so that they experience sunlight. When it’s time for bed, try to keep the room as dark as possible to reinforce that nighttime is for sleeping. Baby Needs to Be Rocked to Sleep A bassinet that vibrates can help ease a baby to sleep without needing to rock them, which will help calm them enough to fall asleep on their own after you turn off the vibration. Second, instead of fully rocking your baby to sleep, put them in the bassinet or crib when they are still drowsy but not asleep. This helps them learn to finish falling asleep by themselves. Again, this could cause crying for the first few nights or a week but will ultimately help them learn to fall asleep on their own. Sleep Regression Often, around the 4-month mark, babies go through a sleep regression. Your baby was normally sleepy at a good time, but now they just want to be awake and experience the world. The best way to overcome sleep regression is by starting or continuing a sleep routine. Give your baby a bath, feed them, sing lullabies, and put them in the bassinet. Your baby might also need more naptime during the day, as an overtired baby would rather cry and tell you they are tired than go to sleep. Sleep regressions are temporary but can happen a few times in the first year as they hit developmental milestones.

How to Keep Your Baby Warm as Nights Grow Colder

As the cold months set in, it’s time to start thinking about how you will keep your baby safe and warm during naps and especially at bedtime. Keeping your baby warm can help them stay asleep, but overheating can also be dangerous. Before setting your baby in the bedside bassinet, follow these tips to make sure your baby is comfortable during cold nights.

Signs of Overheating Before following any other tips, it’s important to know the signs of when your baby is overheating. They can be warm to the touch, have a rapid heartbeat, or have red skin. If they have a fever but are not sweating, chances are they are overheating. Your baby might also be lethargic or unresponsive, dizzy or confused, or vomiting. Test the back of their neck, and if it’s hot, they are likely overheating. Dress Warmly The first step is to dress your baby warmly. This could be, for example, microfleece pajamas with socks and mittens. Do not use a hat or head covering. Instead of one thick layer, you can use several thinner layers. Try to dress your baby in one layer more than you are wearing. If you are only using one layer and a sleep sack (more on the sleep sack later), be sure to use heavier material. Set the Thermostat As you set your baby down in their bassinet that vibrates, check the thermostat. Their room should ideally be between 68 and 72 degrees. A lightly clothed adult should feel cozy, but not hot or cold. If this is not possible, a small, portable heater can be used, but you should monitor the room temperature. Some baby monitors come with a thermometer that will help in this situation, letting you easily tell if it is getting too hot in the nursery. Use a Sleeping Bag Remember layering clothes? A sleeping bag is a great way to ensure your baby stays warm. It’s like a wearable blanket without the dangers of using a blanket, helping keep your baby safe and warm. Be sure to check the TOG rating, which measures insulation in clothes, as it stacks with pajamas and other garments and could add up to being too hot. The sleeping bag will help immensely in keeping your baby safe and warm and can also act as a swaddle with younger babies. Keep the Draft Down Move your baby several feet away from any fans, vents, drafty windows, or outside walls, or your baby could feel a cold draft. If possible, close windows and doors to prevent cold air from entering the room, and if you are using a heater, warm air from leaving the room. Curtains can also help insulate against windows that could otherwise let heat out.

The Dos and Don'ts of Safe Sleep for Babies

With September being Baby Safety Month, it's the perfect time to ensure that your baby is sleeping safely. Whether it's using a bedside bassinet instead of bed-sharing or not having loose items in the bassinet, here are some do's and don'ts for your baby's sleep.

Don't: Bed Share Bed-sharing is dangerous. You should only have your baby in bed when you are feeding or comforting your little one. Once feeding is over, or they're comfortable and ready to go back to sleep, put them back into their own sleeping space, free of toys, pillows, blankets, and all other loose items. Do: Room Share with a Bedside Bassinet The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends that you should room-share for the first six months, ideally up to a year. This is where a bedside bassinet comes in handy, as it will help keep your baby close by without the dangers associated with bed-sharing. You can even find a twin bassinet that will sit next to your bed and has a mesh wall to safely separate your twins while still giving them the closeness they crave. Don't: Use Loose Blankets Loose blankets are very dangerous in bassinets and cribs. Pillows, quilts, comforters, toys, blankets, bumper pads, and similar items that may attach to the crib's slats or sides all pose a danger. Your baby could become trapped in them, which can be deadly. Do: Use a Sleeping Bag If you are worried about your baby being cold during a nap or at night, use a sleeping bag. These are like wearable blankets. Some may swaddle your baby's arms to prevent the startle reflex, while others may let your baby's arms move freely. Don't: Use a Crib with Short Walls A crib with short walls means that once your baby can stand up in their crib, they can crawl out. This could lead to them getting hurt. An adjustable crib can work well instead. Do: Have Your Baby Sleep on Their Back For the first year of your baby's life, they should sleep on their back. Even if they have started to roll, you should always place your baby down to sleep on their back. If they can roll back over themselves, from both tummy to back and back to tummy, you can leave them if they roll over. Don't: Have Your Baby Sleep in Car Seat Your baby can fall asleep in a car seat, stroller, sling, carrier, or swing, but they should be moved as soon as possible. Do not let them sleep in a car seat or other non-firm surfaces for longer than necessary to move them. Do: Use a Firm Surface Babies should always sleep on a firm surface. A crib, portable crib, bassinet, or play yard that meets safety standards should be used with a tight-fitting, firm mattress with a fitted sheet designed for that specific product. About HALO® Sleep HALO® Sleep's goal, as one of the most trusted and well-known brands for high-quality infant sleep solutions and products, is to educate parents, equipping them with essential tools to help ensure their babies sleep safely and soundly.

9 Tips for Baby-Proofing Your Home for Baby Safety Month

September is Baby Safety Month, and it’s the best time to do a check around your home to make sure it is baby safe. From ensuring you have a safe bedside bassinet to covering sharp corners on tables, here is a checklist that will help you make sure your home is safe for your baby.

Creating a Safe Sleep Environment One of the most important aspects of baby safety is safe sleep. You can have a bedside bassinet, but you should not share your bed with your baby. You can even find a twin bassinet with a mesh divider for your twins so they can safely sleep in the same bassinet, next to the bed, while staying safe. Be sure to remove loose blankets, toys, stuffed animals, and anything that isn’t the baby or clothes. If it’s cold, use a sleeping bag instead of a swaddle. It’s like a wearable blanket that is not loose, unlike traditional swaddles. Baby-Proofing Door Handles Unless you want to chase your toddler down the street, it’s a good idea to baby-proof door handles. No matter if you have a round handle or a bar handle, there are ways you can prevent babies from opening doors and getting into places they should not have access to. Anchor Heavy Furniture to Walls It is surprisingly easy for a baby or toddler to pull a dresser, bookshelf, or TV down, possibly on top of them. Use wall anchors to ensure heavy furniture and technology are secured and won’t topple over onto your little one. Tall floor lamps should also be secured if possible. Move them behind other furniture. Plug Electrical Outlets Electrical plugs pose a dangerous threat to babies. Whether it’s a slider plug from a power strip or putting plugs in outlets, ensure your baby can’t stick their finger or favorite small toy in the outlet. Wrap Up Window Cords Window cords, such as from blinds, pose a hazard. Wrap them up around hooks you can install high on the wall to prevent little hands from playing with the cords. While you are at it, install window stops to prevent your baby from opening a window and falling outside. Windows should open no more than 4 inches. Install Stair Gates Gate off stairs at both ends, and have at least the gate on the floor where your baby currently is always closed. It’s far too easy to slip and tumble down stairs. Round Off Table Corners A fall onto a table corner can hurt at best and do a lot of damage at worst. Round off corners with rubber covers. Lock the Cabinet Under the Sink Use baby locks so that your baby can’t get to wherever you store chemicals, such as bleach or dishwasher soap. Even better, move it out of reach first. Turn Down the Hot Water Finally, turn down your water heater so that you don’t accidentally burn your baby, their skin is much more sensitive than yours. Set it to less than 120 degrees.

Bringing Home Baby: Tips to Get a Good Night’s Sleep

It can be a bit of an exciting and tiring blur when you come home with your newborn from the hospital. Fortunately, with the right safe sleep products on hand and some tips you can both enjoy some quality rest. Whether it’s using a bassinet that vibrates or swaddling your baby to suppress the startle reflex, here are five tips that can help you and your newborn get a good night’s sleep.

Use a Bedside Bassinet One of the best ways to help you get better sleep is by cutting down on uptime when your baby wakes up. You can use a bedside bassinet to safely keep your baby close to you, which will make it much easier than getting up and getting your baby. Every moment is precious when trying to calm a crying, hungry baby. You will want to keep your baby in the same room with you for at least six months and for up to a year, and a bedside bassinet gives you the advantages of having your baby close while following safe sleep guidelines. A bassinet with walls that easily push down means you won’t have to get out of bed to cuddle or nurse, and a bassinet that vibrates can help lull a baby back to sleep. Swaddle Your Baby There are two major reasons you should swaddle your baby. Swaddles help keep your baby warm as it is much harder for babies to regulate their body temperature. Swaddling also suppresses the startle reflex, also known as the Moro reflex, that can make babies fling their arms and legs out and wake themselves up. Loose blankets are dangerous in a crib or bassinet, so it’s best to use a sleeping bag that lets you swaddle your little one. Stick with a Routine Start a routine and stick with it. It might be something like a bath, getting in pajamas and a sleeping bag or wearable blanket, nursing or feeding, reading a book or two, singing, and putting your baby in the bassinet. The goal of the routine is for the baby to recognize it is time for sleep, so they’ll start getting more relaxed and more receptive to sleep. Have Supplies Ready Much like keeping your baby close to limit how much you have to move around so you can save time, have supplies like diapers, wipes, and a nursing pillow nearby. If you are using formula, make a batch of formula beforehand and have bottles ready. You might find having a mini-fridge in your room is a great idea for holding bottles, so you won’t have to head to the kitchen when you need one. Prepare Everything Beforehand In the spirit of saving time, have everything ready before you start the routine and go to sleep. Make the bottles ahead of time if necessary, pick out pajamas and a sleeping bag, choose books, and make sure all supplies are stocked up and ready for use.

4 Tips to Make Road Trips with Twins Easier

Trying to manage a road trip with twin babies can have its difficulties, but there are a number of ways you can make it significantly easier and safer for yourself and your babies. From bringing your own twin bassinet to having familiar creature comforts on hand from home, here are a few tips that can make your road trip with twins easier and happier for everyone involved.

Bring Your Own Bassinet It might be hard to accommodate twin babies where you are going, whether it’s the grandparents’ house or a hotel. You will want to bring your own twin bassinet that vibrates so that you know you have a safe place for your babies to sleep. This may be hard to get in the car but will be worth it. If you can’t fit a twin bassinet, try bringing two smaller bassinets instead. The key is that you have bassinets that can safely fit your babies and have a vibration option to help them fall asleep in an unfamiliar place. The twin bassinet can also help as they will know they have each other, even when they are somewhere new, to give each other reassurance. Keep a Regular Schedule If at all possible, keep a regular schedule. When it’s time to drive, try to time it with normal naptimes. If your babies are 4 months old or younger, time drives around feedings instead. Again, this can be a challenge depending on where you are going, and you might arrive during naptime to grandparents who want to spend time with the babies, but try to stick to as normal of a schedule as possible. Your babies will be happier if they are getting the same amount of sleep at normal times than if their schedule is interrupted, which will make everyone else happier as well. Have Creature Comforts From Home Do what you can to bring familiar creature comforts with you. While you might not be able to pack your blackout curtains from home, you should be able to bring a portable white noise machine to help drown out sounds that the babies are not used to. Try to hang out towels or sheets to provide a dark environment. The goal is to mimic the experience they have at home, which will give a sense of normalcy. This also means bringing any swaddles and wearable blankets that they might wear while at home. Pack Extra Supplies Bring more supplies than you think you will need (and twins need a lot). Extra clothes, diapers, wipes, and burp cloths might need an entire suitcase to transport. Try keeping what is absolutely essential in a diaper bag and have the rest strategically placed around the car to take up the least amount of space as possible. Keep a small box of each item you need in the trunk, just in case you need more than what is in the diaper bag or you need to make an emergency pitstop and the diaper bag is buried. Plus, you can use the extra box to refill the diaper bag while out and on the go.

How to Create a Consistent Bedtime Routine to Help Your Little One Sleep

Developing a consistent bedtime routine is the route to helping your baby learn to sleep correctly. It’s not true sleep training, as that comes later, but it sets your baby up for success and helps you reclaim some sleep while instilling good bedtime habits. Here are some tips for what kind of routine you should start, and how to stay consistent.

When Can You Start a Bedtime Routine? First, it’s nearly impossible to be consistent with a newborn. Their sleep and wake times are not predictable. That said, you can still start a routine while they are in a bedside bassinet and before they are in a crib. It takes about two months before a baby can accept a bedtime routine, and you’ll typically want to wait until your little one is about 4-6 months old before attempting actual sleep training. By establishing a routine, you build cues that help your baby get ready to fall asleep, and a consistent bedtime routine sends those signals to your baby’s brain and body, helping them get prepared for going to sleep. Start the Bedtime Routine the Same Time Every Night The first tip might seem obvious, but you need to have a consistent bedtime. Again, with newborns, this can be hard, as they seem to have minds of their own. But after a couple of months, it’s possible to start being consistent. You want to aim for a bedtime no later than 9 p.m. and try to push it up every few days. Many parents are content with a bedtime between 7 and 8 p.m. Typical bedtime routines can last anywhere from a half-hour to just over an hour. Repeat the Same Actions Each Night Try to keep to the same routine every night. For example, your baby’s bedtime routine might start with a warm bath to calm down and get clean. Then, turn down the lights and get your baby in a diaper and pajamas and a sleeping bag or swaddle. Feed your baby, and sing to them or read books. Before they fall asleep, place them in their bassinet and, if it vibrates, let the vibrations keep them calm as the transition to the bassinet can wake them up. Turn off the vibrations, and let them fall asleep. Let Your Baby Fall Asleep By Themselves One of the crucial aspects of the routine is helping your baby fall asleep by themselves. While some sleep aids, such as white noise and vibrations, are still useful at this stage, many habits are harder to kick as your baby grows. For example, you may have had to walk your newborn to sleep, pacing back and forth until they were asleep before putting them in a bassinet. Sleep aids make it harder for your baby to learn how to sleep on their own. Vibrations from a bassinet that vibrates can keep them calm and ease them to sleep, but you will want to turn the vibrations off and let them fall asleep on their own. If you are used to holding your baby, wait until they are drowsy but not asleep and then put them in the bassinet.
