Snuggle Nests For Babies

Of all the baby beds your little one will sleep in over the next few years, his first small bed will probably be his favorite.

When your baby first enters this world, kicking and screaming at the top of his lungs, he won't be too happy about all the fresh air and bright light. After nine months tucked up in the womb close to your heartbeat, this place is bound to be a little intimidating. He'll be looking to you to give him that comfy secure feeling again.

Luckily, after nine months of waiting, you'll be looking to give him a comfy, secure feeling. In fact, you probably won't want to put him down. He'll spend many hours snoozing in your arms over the first few months. But what happens when you need an hour or two of sleep? Conventional baby cribs look so big and cold...

That's what small baby cribs are for - a home away from home for baby.

Baby Bassinets

Baby bassinets are like baskets on a stand. They usually have a hood and are decorated in the most beautiful, frilly fabrics. Read more about baby bassinets...

Baby Moses Baskets

Baby moses baskets are exactly what they imply - a small woven basket usually lined with pretty fabric. Most have handles for carrying from place to place and some have the added benefit of a hood. Moses baskets are small enough to be placed in your baby crib to help in the transition from a small bed to the real thing - a big deal for your baby! Read more about baby moses basket baby beds...

Baby Cradles

Baby cradles are basically tiny cribs on a rocker. They are made of wood or iron making them heavier than baby bassinets and moses baskets, and therefore less portable. They are often passed on as heirlooms and are a wonderful traditional baby furniture item. Read more about baby cradles...

Co-Sleepers

This is a bedside crib that attaches to the side of an adult bed. It allows your baby to remain close to you at night without actually being in your bed. Baby has the benefits of sleeping near you, without the risk of you rolling over on him or her. Read more about the bedside crib...

Amby Beds

The Amby bed is a hammock that hangs from a spring. It provides baby with the natural elements of closeness and motion experienced during the nine months of pregnancy. Read more about the amby bed...
