The Science & The Soul

The Science

The SNOO bassinet uses special womb-imitation technology to give babies the ultimate comforting environment. Five levels of sound and motion assist in rocking babies to a natural, gentle sleep night after night, adding one to two hours of sleep. The advanced algorithms can even tell cries from room noise, and adjusts accordingly to calm them down.

The Soul

Happiest Baby’s mission has always been to enhance child well-being and educate new parents and parents-to-be. Parenting is no joke, and the stressors induced from this ultimate job have led to issues like marital conflict, breastfeeding failure, accidents, obesity, postpartum depression/anxiety, and more. The SNOO bassinet is just a tool, but it’s a very important one in the arsenal of any well-equipped mom or dad, helping thousands of people become better parents every day.
