Employees receive a free 6-month infant safe sleep bassinet rental, SNOO by Happiest Baby. The newborn phase is hard, but we hope that SNOO will help employees rest easier knowing their baby is safely resting on its back.

On average, SNOO boosts sleep 1 – 2+ hours with the soothing shushing and gentle rocking that babies loved in the womb.
