Most new parents are looking for a way to reclaim even a hint of the sleep they used to get pre-infant. So, a smart bassinet that uses sensors to detect when a crying baby needs pacifying, simulating the sounds and rhythms of the womb, offers an irresistible promise to sleep-strapped parents: another hour or two of shut-eye.
The dream doesn’t come cheap: One of the more popular models, the Snoo retails for US$1,700 (RM7,511), although enterprising parents can score one secondhand from friends, neighbors or relatives whose own children have outgrown it.
