Alternative to a crib
Answer:
COSLEEPER
Hint:
Think of a safe sleeping arrangement where parents and infants share close proximity without separate beds, often used in attachment parenting.
Explanation:
A "cosleeper" is a bed or attachment designed for infants to sleep close to their parents, making it a practical alternative to a traditional crib. The clue plays on the idea of different sleeping arrangements for babies, where "cosleeping" (sharing a sleep space) contrasts with using a separate crib. The answer is straightforward—no wordplay or hidden meanings—just a direct term for a common parenting product. If you’ve heard of bedside bassinet attachments or in-bed sleepers, those are types of cosleepers.
