3 Best Baby Sleep Essentials in 2022
Swaddle Bag
When it comes to sleep wear, you want to dress your baby in a onesie. Forget complicated swaddling- we don’t have time for that! Instead, it’s all about the swaddle bags available from Ergo pouch at the memo. In our opinion, this is money well spent as it saves time with just an easy zip-up to safely secure them into their bag for a good night’s sleep. Plus, it gives peace of mind as it’s made from TOG-rated fabrics, meaning you select the material based on the temperature of your nursery and avoid overheating. It also helps to contain startle reflex while keeping your baby snug and securely swaddled. Ingenious!
Features of Cocoon Swaddle Bag:
- Two in one
- Two way zipper
- Friendly for hips
- Super stretchy
Baby night light
We love two-in-one products that offer great functionality and save you money at the same time. Take this Nod Sound Machine and Night Light from YogaSleep. Not only is it a comforting night light (that also allows you to see during late night feeds), but it’s also a white noise machine for superior sleep. Designed to help your baby or child fall asleep faster, stay asleep, and mask distracting noises. It has 20 baby white noise sound options including white noise, pink noise, fan sounds, nature sounds, and eight classical lullaby tracks.
Features of Nod Machine:
- Soft, dimmable light
- Includes a “shushing” sound and heartbeat setting engineered to soothe babies
- 45 minutes, 90 minutes, 8 hours and continuous play options
3. Portable cots
A travel sleep essential for little ones is undoubtedly a comfy portable cot. Whether they’re spending lots of time at their grandparents while you’re out and about (or back at work), or you frequently head away on weekend trips, you’ll want to make sure your baby always has a comfortable and safe space to sleep. Enter the portable cot. We like the Instant Travel Cot from Aeromoov. Designed for you to simply pack up and down in seconds, you can easily take this to another house for a sleepover or for longer distance/ longer stay travel. We also love a multi-use item, so bonus points to AeroMoov being set up as a playpen around the house or even take it to the beach or park!
Features of Instant Travel Cot:
- Light but solid at 5kgs
- It pops open in one move
- PU foam mattress that can be placed on your choice of two levels
