Episode 50: Pros and Cons of Responsive Sleep Spaces

Certified Sleep Coach Anna McMillan and her co-workers and friends Ashley and Robyn talk about responsive and moving sleep spaces. You know, those bassinets that respond to your baby when they stir and rock or jiggle them back to sleep. There are also swings we use to help our babies sleep in the daytime. So are these a good investment for parents? Are they safe for babies?

In this episode of the Little Winks Sleep Podcast, find out the pros and cons of using these kinds of things to help with your baby's sleep and why you may want to reconsider spending your money on them.
