==Description==
A bassinet or bassinette is a bed specifically for babies from [[birth]] to about four months, and small enough to provide a "cocoon" that small babies find comforting. In some parts of the more [[developed]] world, such as Australia, a bassinet is also the term for a baby bouncing device used to [[relax]] a baby when it is going to [[sleep]].
In a hospital [[environment]], a special [[form]] of sealed bassinet is used in a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neonatal_intensive_care_unit neonatal intensive care unit].
On many domestic and nearly all long distance flights, most airlines provide a bassinet (which is attached to a bulkhead) to adults traveling with an infant, i.e. a child under the age of two. Rather than the age of the infant, the restricting criterion for the use of the bassinet is usually size.
