bassinet definition and meaning

What is a "bassinet"?

A bassinet is a small and portable bed designed for newborns and young infants to sleep in. It typically features a cozy and enclosed space with a soft mattress and breathable sides. Bassinets provide a convenient and safe sleeping option for newborns, allowing them to rest comfortably in close proximity to caregivers. They are often lightweight and easy to move, making them suitable for use in various rooms or for travel. Bassinets provide a cozy and secure sleeping environment for the baby, facilitate close monitoring and easier access for nighttime feedings or comforting. They offer a transitional space between a caregiver's bed and a larger crib, ensuring the baby's comfort and well-being during the early months.
