Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Smart Bassinet (SB)Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
The SB responds to an infant who is fussing or crying by initiating "swaying" movement and "shushing" sounds with white noise that incrementally increase until the infant calms or the caregiver shuts it off. It will help babies transition into life outside of the womb with ease, enabling them to feel safe and secure, which translates to more sleep.
Group II: HALO Bassinet (TAU)Active Control1 Intervention
The HALO is a commercially available bassinet that does not have any robotic/responsive actions incorporated within it.
