I thought the whole idea about co-sleeping is that a mother stays in
physical contact with her baby?? A snuggle nest does't allow this. I
personally would worry about the padded sides. Couldn't a baby snuggle up to
these and sufficate itself? Follow Renate's thread, here in the Netherlands
we are also advised not to use cot bumbers in cots (of course) but also not
in prams and moses baskets. I think this snuggle nest is a bad idea, just
like Renate said for the plastic, but also because if a baby likes to
"travel" then many travelers would probably end up with their head against
the top end. This is also why in The Netherlands we are advised to put
babies with their feet at the bottom end of a cot so that if for some reason
the get under the blankets they still have a means of escpape. Anyway, I'm
rambling now, and thinking how easy it is to invent a huge number of useless
items and sell them to expectant parents.
