Hi, where can I buy a Pepi-Pod from in Australia? Baby hates sleeping in a bassinet and I don't want to use a baby lounger for sleep as they're not safe for that purpose.

Red Nose Education

Have you tried sleeping your baby in a cot?
How old is your baby?
Is your baby rolling yet?
Are you wanting to use the pepi-pod to facilitate co-sleeping?
Some info on co-sleeping - https://rednose.org.au/downloads/RN0493_23_Co-Sleeping.pdf

Any form of bassinet or portable sleep space is not suitable for baby once they are rolling, which can start as early as 3mths of age. Most babies are rolling by 4 - 5mths of age & need to then be placed for sleep in a cot - not bassinet.

Red Nose is no longer involved directly with the Pepi Pod program, which was conducted as a research project in Nth Queensland & Nth WA.

Here are some links to Pepi Pod projects:
