HALO Bassinest Swivel Sleeper Review

HALO Bassinest Swivel Sleeper Review - Essential Series - My absolute must have for new moms!
Millie is wearing a HALO SleepSack.

Shortly after Millie was born, I posted about my Newborn and Momma Must Haves…and one of the items that I had listed was the HALO Bassinest Swivel Sleeper (we have the Essentia Series).  Five months later, I’m still praising it as my number one item that all new mommas should have!  It’s been a life saver many nights and I only wish that it had been around when we had Mabel three years ago.

The HALO Bassinest Swivel Sleeper is perched on a very secure and stable base while the top sleeping area actually glides in a complete circle.  This is AMAZING.  After delivery, I was pretty sore and it was wonderful to be able to easily bring Millie close to me for feedings and also easy to move when I needed to get out of bed (no trying to push a bulky bassinet out of the way or climbing further down the bed to get out).  This feature is also great for mommas who have c-sections.  😉

Another genius feature that the smart folks over at HALO thought of was that the top edge of the Bassinest (the side closest to my bed) actually folds down when pressure is applied so it’s easier to lift Millie out for her feedings (this has been wonderful during those sleepy night feedings since I don’t have to get out of bed).

HALO Bassinest and SleepSack

The walls of the Bassinest are mesh and breathable, plus it’s really nice to be able to look over from my bed and see Millie while she sleeps (or is awake, like in this photo, lol!).  It’s been great at giving me peace of mind that she’s close and sleeping safely at the same time.

I also truly think breastfeeding has been made easier with the help of the HALO Bassinest.  I was determined to try to get breastfeeding to work this time around so anything that made it easier…I was all for it!  And being that newborns are constantly waking to nurse, it was extremely helpful to have Millie so close to me and so accessible too.  Even now, she wakes frequently and the Bassinest is still coming in handy by having her within arms reach.

HALO SleepSack

Just to put everything into perspective…the HALO Bassinest recommended for babies up to 20 pounds (though 30 pounds is the maximum weight) and 5 months old (once baby starts showing signs of pulling up, grasping sides, or pushing up on hands or knees, use should be discontinued).  Even though Millie isn’t 20 pounds, I can tell we are getting close to the end of use and I’m sad!  That’s how much I’ve loved our Bassinest.

    I’ve heard so much about the HALO swivel sleeper. I’m not preggo at the moment but hoping to be sometime next year. I’m already looking into all the updated & amazing new baby gear that has come out since I was pregnant with my daughter back in 2011. As always Ms.Millie is looking adorable. Have a great weekend!

      Hey Osha! I honestly can’t say enough good things about the Bassinest so you will have to remember it when the time comes. 🙂 Isn’t it crazy how products change just from one child to another…I feel like there are so many neat things just in the three years that we had Mabel! I hope you have a good week! 🙂

**GIVEAWAY CLOSED** Winner = @shadylynnb! DAY 9 = Santa’s Greeting Block + GIVEAWAY!  Santa loves his HO, HO, HOs right?! 🎅🏼🎅🏽🎅🏿 So I figured for Day 9 of the #QuiltmasSpectacular, I’d give you the #SantasGreetingBlock, a free quilt block that’s plain and simple...and all about the man who likes cookies, drinks milk and brings gifts to children. 🙌🏻 What’s there not to love?! ❤️ Find the link in my profile to get your hands on the free pattern for this cute little block! . 258 178
It’s done and is now part of the #quiltsinthewasher gang! 🙌🏻 It will be packed up and shipped off to @themakingsofjoy to then be donated to #quiltsforthefatherless. It makes my heart so happy! 🥰 572 38
I’m another year older 🎉(and hopefully wiser) since I last posted…and figured I’d start by forcing myself to do something other than quilting with straight lines! 🙌🏻😂 I think I’ve put it off for so long since the perfectionist in me can’t stand trying things that I’m not good at (I like living within my quilty comfort zone 🙈). Buuuuut you have to start somewhere right?  I’m attempting an orange peel quilting design and I’ll just have to go with the flow and not beat myself up too much over errors.  It’s sooooo hard to let go though!  I’m sure some of you know what I’m talking about.  Wish me luck! 🤞🏻 411 61
🎉 And today the tester celebration comes to an end! 🎉  These final three ladies deserve a round of applause for their #DayTripQuilt versions! 📷 In order of quilty appearance = @finleyfabric, @sarahsew_sew and @spoolsandspice (they are tagged in their photos too!) Head to their accounts to see what they’ve been up to, you won’t be sorry (because who doesn’t love finding new quilt friends?!) And as with every pattern release, I owe a huge thanks to all of my testers.  They dedicate themselves to sewing up a quilt and picking over my pattern to make sure all my math is correct along with hunting for all those grammar mistakes. 🙈  All so that my pattern is ready to go for its release date! 🙌🏻 I’m forever thankful to all of the testers I’ve shared with you this past week. 🥰 #patterntester #quiltpatterntester 516 8
Just when you thought I was done celebrating tester pics...I’m not! 📷 Genna of @wetmountainquiltco left me speechless with her #DayTripQuilt and her incredible photos!  She is one of my all time favorites at taking #quiltsinthewild pics so go see for yourself over on her account!  Stay tuned for the last two tester pics tomorrow. Then I’ll give it a rest!  I promise! 😉🙌🏻 . 421 14
🎉Pattern SALE ends tonight!🎉 And I’m still not done sharing gorgeous #DayTripQuilt versions! 📷 Morgan of @morgankellyquilts (we’re name twins!) made a traditional version and came up with such a pretty and unique color palette!  You must go take a peek at her account to be inspired by her beautiful makes and perfectly paired fabric combinations! 🥰 #quilt #modernquilt 269 12
