Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why does my baby wake up the moment their back touches the bassinet?

A: This is often caused by the "Moro" or startle reflex. Our guide teaches you the "Feet-Bottom-Head" order, which keeps the baby's center of gravity stable and prevents the sensation of falling that triggers the wake-up.

Q: How do I know if my baby is ready for the transfer?

A: Timing is everything! We cover how to monitor wake windows and the "one-minute hand contact" rule to ensure your baby has settled into a deep enough sleep state to remain asleep after you let go.

Q: Is it safe to pre-warm the bassinet?

A: Yes, as long as it is done correctly. Our guide explains how to use a heating pad to remove the "chill" from the sheet—and crucially, to remove the pad before laying the baby down—to mimic the warmth of your arms safely.
