Bassinets offer a number of potential benefits to c-section moms. First, they can provide a comfortable place for the baby to sleep in the early weeks and months post-birth when recovering from surgery, and caring for a newborn can be especially challenging. Additionally, bassinets can help keep the baby close by, which may help with breastfeeding and bonding. Some research has even suggested that sleeping in a bassinet may reduce the risk of SIDS.
