All three of their very large babies fit in the Halo Bassinest until about three months, and it has held up well enough to serve six or seven babies.
“I had three HUGE babies and they all stayed in the halo bassinest until 3ish months when they started rolling. They weren’t longer than it by any means.”
Pushed the Halo bassinet past four months with a long baby and got terrible sleep because he kept reaching out and touching the sides.
“His Halo bassinet he should have been out of at 3 months but I pushed it to over 4 and got terrible sleep because of it. Not because it was”
Chose the Halo Luxe over a SNOO; it has plenty of features, their baby sleeps great in it, and they love pulling him close.
“Halo luxe series - I also could not justify the cost of a snoo - it has plenty of features and our little guy sleeps great in it. Love that I can pull him close”
Their baby needed the Halo warmed up, vibration on and a careful lowering routine before she would sleep in it.
“We had the halo and we had to warm it up beforehand, put the vibration on, do the whole dance of keeping her touching our chest as we lowered her”
Their baby thrashed in the Halo until they added the newborn insert, a footie pajama, fleece swaddle and white noise.
“Ours thrashed around in the Halo bassinet quite a bit until we ordered the newborn insert. It helped her scrunch up and get cozy. We also had her in full”
Their daughter rejected the Halo bassinet, which seemed to them like sleeping on a piece of wood.
“my daughter rejected the bassinet but in her defence the halo bassinet seemed like she was basically sleeping on a piece of wood”
Their newborn hates the Halo Swivel Sleeper and screams after five minutes, sleeping only slightly longer in a Day2Dream portable bassinet.
“LO HATES the halo, we can only put her down in it for 5 mins before she starts screaming bloody murder.”
The Halo would not fit beside their bed so it went at the foot, which has been fine for hearing the baby, though the base is large.
“I also couldn’t fit the halo bassinet next to my bed so we put it at the foot of the bed. I was really frustrated when I first realized it”
The Halo swivel bassinet's legs would not slide under their platform bed so it never sat close enough; it is the one piece of equipment they sold before baby two.
“We had this exact problem with the halo swivel bassinet for our first because we have a platform bed that wouldn’t allow the legs to go underneath. The swivel function”
Used the Halo at the foot of the bed so their husband could change the baby, but he dislikes that the legs do not slide under the bed enough.
“We put our halo bassinet on my husbands side of the bed, closer to his feet for the first few months so he could change the baby easily and then”
Tried the Halo for a few weeks but it felt claustrophobic, so they packed it away and used a mini crib.
“I tried to use it for a few weeks and it made me feel claustrophobic, so I packed it away and just used our mini crib.”
