Frequently Asked Bassinet Questions

Wondering if a bassinet is the right choice for your new baby? Learn more about bassinets in our FAQ section.

What Should a Newborn Sleep In?

A newborn can safely sleep in either a bassinet or a crib, depending on your preference. Bassinets are slightly smaller, so they can be a good choice if you don’t have a dedicated nursery or want to have baby sleep in your room for a while. That said, since babies quickly outgrow bassinets, you may prefer a crib since that will last for a couple of years.

Whatever you choose, make sure not to include any pillows or nests with them, as these can pose a safety risk. Other items to make them comfortable, however, like crib sheets and a crib mattress pad, are safe when used as designed. As tempting as it may be, you also shouldn’t let baby sleep in your bed. It’s safer for them to have their own, contained space, like a bedside bassinet.

How Do You Pick a Bassinet?

You’ll want to consider what features you want a bassinet to have. For example, a bassinet with changing table can be really convenient. It lets you change diapers all in the same space, which can really come in handy in tight nurseries.

A portable bassinet is also a great idea if you think you’ll take your baby on a lot of excursions. These lift out of the cradle and become carriers, so you can transport baby all without waking them up. Then, if they’ve fallen asleep in the car on the way home, you can gently put them back in the bassinet without shuffling them around.

Another decision to consider is whether or not you want the bassinet bed to rock. While rocking can be comforting, it may also become an annoyance to baby once they learn how to move around a bit. If you do choose a rocking bassinet, make sure it has a lock.

Finally, consider material. Wood bassinets are most traditional and go best in most homes, but plastic bassinets can be easier to clean. For more help finding the best bassinet or crib for your baby, check out our crib buying guide.

Are Bassinets Safe for Sleeping?

Yes, a crib bassinet is safe for sleeping. Ashley offers only the best bassinets, so you can have complete confidence in your baby’s safety. All of Ashley’s options are subject to current safety standards, with Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association (JPMA), Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), or American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) certification. This means you can have peace of mind that your baby is in good hands.

That said, bassinets won’t be a viable option forever. As your baby gets bigger, you’ll need to upgrade them to a larger crib to keep them safe.
