Why use a baby nest?

Becoming a new parent is an incredibly exciting and rewarding experience, but it also comes with its fair share of challenges. One of the most significant challenges that new parents face is figuring out how to keep their baby safe, secure, and comfortable while they go about their day-to-day routine.

A baby lounger (also known as a baby nest) offers an excellent solution to this problem, providing a safe, cozy, and convenient place for newborns to enjoy supervised rest and play while you enjoy hands-free moments when you need them the most.

Considering a baby lounger but unsure whether they are worth the investment? Here are five reasons why baby loungers are a great baby essential for parents.

THEY PROVIDE A SAFE SPACE FOR SUPERVISED REST

Sleep is essential for newborns, but finding a safe resting space for your baby can be a challenge. Designed to mimic the womb, baby nests offer a secure and comfortable space for infants to sleep supervised, providing parents with peace of mind that their baby is safe and sound.

2. VERSATILE

A multi-purpose gem, baby loungers can be used for resting, playing, or just lounging around, allowing parents to keep their babies close by while they go about their daily tasks. Baby Nests give your arms and back a rest while still bonding with your little one close by. Embarking on Supervised tummy time? A baby nest offers the support your child needs to push up, explore, and build their head, neck, and upper body strength. For mums recovering from birth, and C-Sections, loungers are a great way to keep your baby close without you having to move much.

The Golden Child Baby Lounger is made from a unique 3D mesh constructed from certified Tencel, which is an extremely soft fiber, anti-static, and anti-bacterial born from eucalyptus. Filled with 100% cloud cotton, it provides strength and breathability where you need it most.

3. EASY TO TRANSPORT

Going on an overnight trip or visiting friends? Easy! Baby loungers are lightweight and portable, making them easy to move from room to room and even for travel. This feature makes them a great alternative to bulky, heavy cots or bassinets that can be difficult to move around. Loungers are also great to explore outside, whether it’s a visit to the beach or a picnic in the park.

4. LONGEVITY

Baby loungers generally have a long life span as they can be used until the baby is around nine months old. This makes them a good investment as they can be used for longer than other baby products such as swings or bouncers.

5. EASY TO CLEAN

With newborns, we know accidents happen! You want to be able to remove the cover of your baby lounger and pop it in the wash with ease. Being machine washable, you can toss it in the washing machine when needed, and the removable covers make it easy when it comes to spot cleaning. Be sure to air dry your baby nest on a flat surface and line dry your linen baby lounger cover in a shaded environment

WHEN AND WHERE IT’S UNSAFE TO USE BABY LOUNGERS

Our Golden Child Baby Lounger has been designed as a temporary space for your baby to rest under direct supervision by an adult, and not as a baby bed or mattress. It should not be used as a bassinet or infant mattress, and we do not recommend this product for co-sleeping. Direct supervision is always required when using the Baby Lounger.
Loungers are not to be used as bed-sharing devices, so should never be placed in the parent’s bed.
They should be placed only on the floor and not on a raised surface such as a bed, couch, or bench.
Babies should always be placed on their back to sleep (as per red nose guidelines), with their feet touching the bottom of the Baby Lounger
