Baby nests, are they any good?

[Danideedee]

My newborn only likes to sleep in my arms. As soon as I put him in his Moses basket or next to me cot he starts crying. I’m looking for some type of Sleep safeBaby nest that I could get him to fall asleep in and then just transfer him in the nest into the cot For a seamless transition. Has anyone got any recommendations? Or any advice in general on how to manage my needy little baby 🩵?

The Lullaby Trust considers them a SIDS risk and advises against them.

The only way I got any sleep was to cosleep. Have a read up on the Safe Sleep Seven. I also used an Owlet sock for peace of mind. Plus the UK Cosleepers Facebook page is great for advice on safe setups.

I never thought I'd cosleep, but it saved me.

Thank you, I never thought I’d co-sleep either but I think it will be the only thing that might save my sanity so I will look into safe co sleeping and the owlet sock is a good idea! X

Another one to say those nests aren’t at all safe, I’m afraid.

Our midwife recommended co-sleeping and the safe sleep seven to us on the day 5 visit and it has worked brilliantly.

We put the moses basket in our bed. It felt less stressful than full on cosleeping (plus we could turn over!) but with all the benefits. We then had 2-3 months in the cot before he ended up back in the bed, but by that point he could roll and crawl so we weren't as stressed
