Product designer and mom Rebecca Schultz told us that, after she had C-section, receiving this co-sleeper as a gift was a very welcome surprise. “Using the co-sleeper with the drop-down side means I don’t have to lift the baby up so much in the night,” she explains. The drop-down panel allows for the bassinet to get right up to the side of your bed, so you can simply reach over to the baby instead of lifting it up and out as with a regular bassinet. “It also looks, and I’m assuming feels, more like a crib,” Schultz adds, “so I hope our crib transition is easier.” … [Read more...] about The Best Baby-Shower Gifts, According to Experts
