What Are Sleeping Pods?
A sleeping pod for a baby, or baby nest pod, is a soft and structured baby sleeping bed that supports a natural arms-up sleeping position. They are designed to create a snug and secure sleep environment for infants that resembles the womb. Sleep pods for babies make it easier for your little bundle of joy to settle and sleep longer by preventing startle reflexes. Also known as baby snuggle pods, it is popularly used by new parents as an alternative to traditional swaddles.
