Being a new parent is never easy and one of the most challenging parts is sleepless nights when your baby wakes up every 2-3 hours. When I had my twin boys, me and my husband could not sleep for 3 months and we tried every trick in the book – swaddling the babies, rocking the babies for hours, and even going for a drive just so that our boys could sleep. One of our friends was using Mamaroo sleep bassinet at that time and we were amazed how their daughter was sleeping so well for long stretches in the night.
