Snuggle Nest Surround XL Infant Sleeper - Grey Elephant Review

About the Product:

The snuggle nest is bassinet that you can use for the baby to sleep in right next to you in your own bed.  This is perfect for bed sharing because
the sides are tall enough so that you do not roll over onto the baby.  The sides also have a mesh fabric for air circulation for the baby.  

It has a little unit at the top that provides soothing womb sounds and the relaxing melodies of Brahms' Lullaby and light. The light is perfect for when the baby wakes up in the middle of the night for the feedings or just look around for the pacifier (if your baby has one). It is also great to just check how the baby is sleeping. 

It also folds up so you can take it anywhere with you. It is light enough to carry around and you can fit a small toy or small blanket in it when it folds up. 

It has a waterproof foam mattress with a fitted and a wraparound sheet. 

My Thoughts:

3 Days old in her Snuggle Nest

I absolutely love this!!!  I can not tell you how convenient this has been for me!  If you haven't read my post about bed sharing then you should read it to see why I decided to bed share ( I fell in Love with Bed-sharing & Co-Sleeping) because this has made it very easy to bed share with my baby and make me feel safe about it. With this product I do not feel like I am going to roll over and suffocate my baby.

I have been using this since she came home from the hospital and have not had a problem with it. My baby sleeps right in the middle of my boyfriend and I and we like it this way because we can easily check up on her.  The light at the top makes it easy for me to see her and pick her up for her feedings and also to look for her pacifier in the middle of the night.

At first I used the music to help her fall asleep, but now she does not need it. I never used the womb sounds, but I like that it has it available.

Overall, I think the price for this product is totally worth it. You can definitely get good use of it and it made me feel more comfortable about my decision of bed-sharing.  Although I love this product, I must say that babies do grow fast and unfortunately, it looks like my baby will grow out of it soon. She is now 5 months old (will be 6 months in a few weeks) and our plan is to have her sleep in her own crib once she grows out of this.
