until what age does a baby sleep in a bassinet?

The real reply from the in-app AI advisor

A bassinet is typically used until approximately 3-6 months of age. During this period your baby hasn't yet developed rolling, sitting, or other movement skills, and a bassinet's limited space is safe.

Once your baby starts rolling, pushing up, or crawling on their own (usually 4-6 months), it's time to move to a larger, more secure baby bed (crib or portable sleeper). The reason is safety: a bassinet's sides no longer effectively contain your growing baby, and their height may soon exceed the bassinet's capacity.

In short: after 6 months a bassinet is not safe; move to a standard baby bed once movement skills emerge.
