Sleep Around

Seed Organic Bassinet

Take it from the legions of bleary-eyed parents who’ve gone before you: Sow the seeds of baby’s good sleep habits early — or you’ll be sorry.

You can start by making the sweet, cocoon-like Seed cradle your child’s first postpartum place of rest.

Made from hypoallergenic, pesticide- and lead-free organic cotton, the portable bassinet has a latex mattress that contours to baby’s body while allowing air to circulate.

That means that your bundle of joy will feel safe and secure in his new sleeping setup, resulting in endless hours of solid slumber for everyone involved.

We hope.

Available at Mini Jake, 178 North 9th Street, between Bedford and Driggs Avenues, Williamsburg (718-782-2005 or minijake.com).
