Product Origins

The Arm's Reach Co-Sleeper® Bassinet is a unique creation that began with a mother and father's need for a safe sleeping environment for their child. They, like many parents, had rediscovered the benefits of co-sleeping with their infants -increased bonding, ease of feeding and a greater sense of closeness -yet were concerned modern beds weren't appropriate for a baby's space. They solved this problem by placing the child at the side of the bed -literally within arm's reach! Their result is a wonderful series of bassinets that keep babies close to their parents during the important early months of development.

Arm's Reach Concepts, Inc. is the creator of the award-winning infant Mini Co-Sleeper®. It is the only authentic Co-Sleeper® endorsed by Pediatric Expert Dr. William P. Sears and Mother Baby Sleep Research Expert Dr. James J. McKenna Ph. D

What Experts are Saying
 

"Besides enhancing bonding between parents and their baby, the Arm's Reach Co-Sleeper® provides night-time security that benefits a growing baby's emotional development," says Doctor William Sears, Associate Clinical Professor of Pediatrics at the University of California, Irvine, School of Medicine and author of over one dozen guides including The Baby Book. "Sleeping within arm's reach makes night feedings easier. It is also contemporary. Sleeping close to their infant allows parents to make up for missed touch time during the day and to reconnect with their baby at night."

Doctor James J. McKenna, Ph.D. Professor of Biological Anthropology and Director of the Mother-Baby Sleep Laboratory University of Notre Dame, agrees. "I believe that [Arm's Reach has] created an important way of making it possible for babies to receive the kind of nighttime care we all take for granted as being needed for babies during the night."

Regardless of the medical benefits, simply having your baby close can provide a sense of comfort and closeness to both parents and baby. With busy schedules and lives connecting with our children on a daily basis can be difficult. The Arm's Reach line of products greatly eases the emotional and physical burdens of child care by bringing you closer together... not to mention keep your feet warm on cold winter nights when you don't have to walk down the hall to reassure a crying baby!
