I’m not going to lie, the thought of bringing our newborn daughter home and trying to get any semblance of sleep is one of the things that scared me most about having a child. A fairly paranoid person by nature, I was so sure I would be up every 3.28 minutes (or lets be real, seconds) making sure that my baby was breathing each and every night. I was envisioning sleepless nights, constant worry, and likely a cranky baby to boot. And I wasn’t sure how to get around that. I was practically resigned to just being a walking zombie for the next several months.

That all changed when I heard about HALO. Most of you veteran mamas probably know all about them, but HALO is an AMAZING company that makes products designed to help babies sleep safer, and moms rest easier. Some of their top products are sleep sacks, which eliminate the need for dangerous blankets, and their Bassinests, which are among the top bassinets on the market for safe and comfortable sleep. So when I got the opportunity to work with HALO to try out some of their products with our new baby girl, I literally jumped at the chance. I would do anything to try to save my new mama sanity! You can check out their story and mission by checking out a quick video HERE. HALO generously gave me their premiere series Bassinest model, a sleepsack, and one of their newer products – a portable Bassinest stand, to try out. And let me tell you, these products have made the transition into a new mama SO much easier...
