Better Bedtimes A calm, safe sleep space is one of the biggest priorities for new parents, and the nursery sector continues to develop products that help make bedtime more comfortable for babies while offering reassurance for families.
From the very beginning, parents are focused on creating the right sleep environment. In response, nursery brands are introducing products designed to support safer sleep, encourage comfort and help ease some of the worries that can surround night-time routines. Bedside cribs remain a popular choice, allowing babies to sleep close to their parents while maintaining a separate and secure space. Many designs now include breathable mesh panels which promote airflow and help regulate temperature throughout the night. Mattress technology has also advanced, with many models featuring breathable cores and airflow channels that allow better air circulation. These designs help reduce the risk of overheating while supporting recommended safe sleep guidance. Breathable fabrics are increasingly important across baby bedding. Lightweight sheets, sleep bags and blankets made from airflow friendly materials help regulate temperature while remaining soft and gentle against delicate skin. Nightlights are another helpful addition to many nurseries, providing a soft glow that supports night feeds and nappy changes without fully waking the baby or disrupting the sleep environment. Technology also continues to play a role, with baby monitors giving parents added reassurance by helping them keep a watchful eye while their baby rests.
Shnuggle launch moonlight plus Following the sell-out success of the Shnuggle Moonlight since its launch in 2020, Shnuggle has unveiled a new and improved version of its awards-winning nightlight, designed to meet growing demands and consumer needs -the Shnuggle Moonlight Plus.
Since its debut, Moonlight has become one of the brand’s top-performing SKUs. The sleep friendly portable nightlight is designed to support families from newborn through the toddler years and beyond. Featuring dual Parent and Child modes and a clever charging dock, the updated version retains the core features that made it a standout success, while introducing an improved digital temperature display. Showing the exact room temperature at a glance, Moonlight removes the guesswork and offers reassurance that baby’s sleep environment is just right. The beautiful, simple design is a must have for parents offering the perfect soft, safe glow to feed, comfort and change baby through the night with minimal disturbance. As baby grows, Moonlight becomes the perfect nighttime companion as the handy strap that can be used to carry Moonlight around the home also becomes easy for toddlers to carry. Introducing a new Taupe colourway to compliment the signature tone of the Shnuggle range, Moonlight is easy to use, featuring simple activation with a quick flip in Parent Mode or a nudge to waken if in Child Mode. The baby-safe, soft glow and low blue light in Parent Mode helps create a calm, soothing environment that reduces stimulation and supports better sleep for baby. The light stays at full brightness for 40 minutes, then gradually dims through a sunset mode for a further 20 minutes before switching off automatically. As baby grows, parents can switch to Child Mode and Moonlight becomes the perfect night-time companion. A soothing bedside light to help promote sleep and a comforting light during little one’s late night bathroom trips. Just like in Parent Mode, a simple nudge will activate the light which glows at full brightness for twenty minutes before eventually fading to simulate sunset and providing a soft glow through the night. The soft glow and low blue light levels help to promote sleep and reduce light stimulation helping toddlers have a more restful night’s sleep.
