Of all the items that we have had for the baby, the Baby Delight Snuggle Nest Harmony co sleeper is the one that my husband and I both regard as the most practical.
My sister brought the Baby Delight Snuggle Nest Harmony over to us along with several other goodies after her shopping trip during our first day home after the baby was born.
As you may have noticed in the photo above, I have a Bassinet next to my bed.
But there are a few advantages that the Snuggle Nest Harmony co sleeper has over a bassinet.
1. I breastfeed so I wanted my baby as near as possible when I needed to wake at night. I always kept the cosleeper on the bed between my husband and I for easier access.
2. You can take it with you wherever you go. That is hugely convenient when you go visit family so you have a place to safely let the baby nap.
3. The co sleeper comes with buttons:
- The soothing sound of a beating heart (as it sounds to them from inside the womb)
- Some lullaby music
- Volume controls
- The large oval button that says “Baby Delight” is a light that turns on
I found the light handy during night time feedings. After a while of feeding without a light to help me with the latch, I would feel like my nipples needed a good portion of the next morning to recuperate from the night time beating they took.
4. At about $80, the Baby Delight Snuggle Nest Harmony is much cheaper than a bassinet.
I found one disadvantage to the Baby Delight Snuggle Nest co sleeper when I was shopping for an additional fitted sheet that I can swap out whenever I needed to wash it.
I ordered a pack of fitted sheets from BuyBuy Baby and when they arrived, they were much too small for the cosleeper pad. So I returned them and bought some (showing the measurements of the sheets in size XL) on Amazon.
When those arrived they were the. same. exact. sheets. I had just returned to BuyBuy Baby. I looked at the reviews on Amazon and saw that someone commented about the same issue.
There was a happy ending for me, though.
I called Baby Delight and told them my issue. They sent me a whole other cushion (with its own fitted sheet) for free.
The pads are different sizes so I can’t use the fitted sheets interchangeably but the pads are similar enough in size that they both fit fine inside the co sleeper.
Unfortunately, my baby got slapped with the 4 month sleep regression around 3.5 months and decided that sleeping anywhere but in our arms burned like acid.
At this point our sleeping routine and setup changed and we’ve retired the co sleeper.
But I am no less thankful to it for the convenience it provided for the first few months.

As I empty out my last baby’s room and post things for sale, I can now post the Baby Delight Snuggle Nest as I won’t need it for any future babies 🥺
I posted it in a few places. Here’s the link to the listing on Mercari. If you have poshmark, ebay or offerup, email me and I’ll send you the link.
Safety Updates
I must mention that in the time since I used this for my son, there have been changes to how they advise safely using the Baby Delight Snuggle Nest. They no longer call it a cosleeper as it’s not used for sleep. It’s now referred to as a lounger. Here is the safety article where they advise caregivers about how to use this lounger only for supervised play.
