How long does a baby sleep in a bassinet?

Bassinets are designed to be used for newborn babies for a short period of time. The safe rule of thumb is when your baby starts to sit upright unaided, they are ready to move out of a bassinet and into a cot (at the lower level). As babies have varying developmental milestones this can vary from 4 months to 9 months, depending on your child’s development.

Tell tale signs that your baby is ready for a cot:

Your baby is sitting up.
Your baby is pulling themselves up to the edge of the bassinet.
Your baby has exceeded the maximum weight rating of the bassinet.
Your baby has outgrown the length of the bassinet.
