What are Baby Sleep Pods and Baby Nests?

Baby sleep pods and baby nests are mattresses designed with soft, padded sides to provide babies with a  sleeping area that helps them to feel safe and protected- similar to the womb.

Baby pods and baby nests are NOT RECOMMENDED for putting babies in for overnight sleep, however, they are great if you would like to put your baby somewhere safe, temporarily, whilst you complete daily tasks. We do recommend that you always keep them in sight when using these pods and nests as they do have a safety concern as mentioned above. We do recommend you consider this before purchasing.

Baby Sleeping Nests and Baby Sleeping Pods – Safe Sleep Guidelines

Following safe sleep guidelines, babies should be placed on a firm and flat surface on their back.

There is evidence that padded sides can increase the risk of suffocation (especially if your baby rolls onto their sides) and overheat. Some baby nest manufacturers, however, do create their baby nests with breathable material but this still comes with risks.

Baby sleeping nests and baby sleeping pods are not ideal for unsupervised overnight sleeping.

Things to consider when buying a Baby nest or Baby Pod

How long will your baby be using the sleep pod or sleep nest?

Will your baby be placed in the baby nest or pod for a short while whilst you are completing daily activities? Or would you like your baby to sleep overnight in something instead?

Baby pods are NOT suitable for overnight sleep.

Is the baby sleeping pod or baby nest machine washable?

The capability of machine washing is a key factor to consider, after all, your baby may spend several hours in the baby sleep pod or baby nest so it will need cleaning regularly. Machine washability will help to make things a lot easier.

Material

Soft, breathable materials are the best material to opt for, as they provide both comfort and safety for your baby.
