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.
Boosts Sleep, Calms Crying Quickly
On average, SNOO boosts sleep 1 – 2+ hours with the soothing shushing and gentle rocking that babies loved in the womb.
Keeps Your Baby Safer
SNOO is the only bassinet that secures your baby safely on the back, as recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics. SNOO has also been accepted to the FDA’s Breakthrough Devices Program for Fast Track designation for its potential to prevent SIDS. Early studies support SNOO may also reduce post-partum depression in parents of newborns.
