Bloom Bassinet and Co-Sleeper

2007-07-10-bloom1.jpg

Another beautiful co-sleeper graced our screens this week. The Bloom Bassinet is a multi-functional piece designed by Natalie Keville. The flowering shape of the bassinet (hence the name, presumably) is fashioned from EVA foam.

It sits on a stand that allows it to slide right up to your bed for safe co-sleeping. The mattress is made from felted organic cotton, a natural, waterproof, non-toxic, fire-safe, and dust mite proof material.

The bassinet stand can also be turned on its side to create a rocking bassinet. There also is a motion sensor pad. Yes, you read that correctly. A motion sensor pad : By means of sensor technology, even the slightest breathing movements will activate a pulsing illumination. The pulse emulates a calm breathing rhythm promoting a relaxed environment, by providing parents with a reassuring visual of their baby's wellbeing. The illumination can be set to a slow pulse, a steady glow or turned off depending on preference. For parents of newborns, you know how reassuring that can be!

Last, but definitely not least, the bassinet also features a stand that converts it to a reclining seat when baby outgrows the need for a bassinet.

No word yet on when it can be purchased.

    It looks beautiful, but you'd still have to sit up to get the baby out of it in the middle of the night, which kind of defeats the purpose, in my book.

    love the multi-functionality of the whole thing, but i find the shape and design a little over-done and showy. could be just as lovely if it was tailored and simplified.

    I totally agree with avimom. It's just a very pretty bassinet.

    It looks like it would take up a lot of room on the side of the bed. I would hate to smack my elbow into the corner of that thing in the middle of the night- I'd likely wake the baby screaming in pain. Its beautiful, but poorly designed. I agree with the other comments as well.

    ITA with everyone else. You're not *really* cosleeping with that (which is good, IMO), but the shape? Obnoxious.
