If you’re expecting your first baby, here’s something most parents only realise afterwards: you can prepare for almost everything… except how precious sleep becomes.
Not just long stretches (those are rare and glorious), but the tiny bits. The five extra minutes here. The stir that doesn’t turn into a full wake-up there. The moments when your baby resettles without your intervention. Those seconds add up fast, and in the early weeks and months, they matter more than you can imagine.
That’s where a smart bassinet can quietly change everything.
What is a smart bassinet?
A smart bassinet is designed to support your baby’s sleep before you need to step in, significantly reducing unnecessary wake-ups when you need it most. Instead of constantly rocking your baby in the middle of the night, or reacting to every sound yourself, smart bassinets use technology to sense when your baby stirs and then responds by soothing them.

Introducing the Swan Smart Bassinet
A lullaby in motion
The Swan Smart Bassinet is BabyRest’s answer to those early, sleepless weeks and months - the midnight helper you didn’t know you’d need, but won’t want to be without.
Using a built-in smart motion sensor, the Swan gently activates when your baby begins to stir, rocking them with a calm, soothing swivel motion designed to help them resettle naturally. Importantly, the Swan doesn’t rock constantly. Motion only begins when it senses movement and runs for up to 45 minutes soothing them back into a deep sleep.
If your baby doesn’t resettle within that time, it simply means it may be time for a feed or a nappy change. The Swan supports sleep without creating reliance, helping baby learn to resettle while still keeping you as a parent firmly in tune with your little one’s needs.
You can choose from three rocking intensities, pair motion with gentle lullabies or white noise, and adjust everything easily using the included remote, because getting out of bed less is kind of the point.
And when baby sleeps, so can the whole family.
