A baby nest is perfect for creating a familiar napping, lounging, playing and even feeding space for your little bundle of joy. They have so many useful applications – from making feedings comfortable for mum and baby, to safely lounging in unfamiliar places and for supervised playtime.

What is a baby nest?

A baby nest is a cosy little portable place for your baby with soft padded sides. It is ideal for resting your bub on their back while you get some work done and they can feel warm and secure at the same time. Nests were first seen in Sweden where they’ve been used as medical devices to keep newborn and premature babies feeling cosy and safe. Alternatively, check. out our baby loungers.

Why do you need one?

We recommend these as a great comforting tool to help your baby feel at ease when transitioning out of the womb into the world! Baby nests are so soft and comfortable that they make for ideal sleep aids, although you should always pay attention to your baby if they fall asleep inside one and never leave them unsupervised. Baby nests allow your child to be placed straight on their back, which is the recommended way to put your baby down to sleep to reduce the risk of SIDS. Besides helping with sleep time, we love them for:

Relaxation: help to add a feeling of calm and security
Tummy time: Pop your bub on their tummy in this supportive nest
Play time: You can double your nest with an activity gym over the top
Changing nappies and clothes
Hands-free time: We know you’re a supermum, but sometimes you really do need two hands to get something done!

It’s important to stop using your nest once your baby is old enough to roll over from their back onto their tummy to avoid suffocation.

How to choose a baby nest?

There are a few things to think about when choosing your product, but the number one priority of course is always safety. Read on for our tips on what to look out for:

Safety : Consider choosing a nest that is breathable and comes with strict adherence to safety guidelines like those we stock at the memo. It’s wise to choose a nest with a firm mattress too, as soft mattresses have been linked to increased risk of SIDS.
Material: Opt for machine washable materials to make your life easier!
Portability: We always recommend choosing a nest that will be good for travelling so your bub has a safe space to transition from your home to somewhere new.

Our top picks

At the memo, we stock a stylish, practical range your baby will love. Choose from Done by Deer Cozy Nest

The style icon is here with Done by Deer’s cozy nest in mauve, grey or deep blue. Breathable and air permeable, this is ideal for transitioning your bub from womb into the big wide world while helping them feel safe and secure. The raised sides of the nest and foam mattress allow for good stability and optimum comfort. We love that the nest is fitted with hidden side zippers that allow you to strip off the covers and remove the mattress to wash it as needed.
