During the Middle Ages, bubonic plague was known as the Black Death.. During that time many people became sick and died of pneumonia when the bubonic plague bacteria infected the lungs, called the pneumonic plague which saw the spread of the disease bacteria through coughing and sneezing.
From experience with my own kids as well as asking some other moms and doing some research on popular baby websites, it seems to be the average time a baby sleeps in their bassinet is approximately 3 months or around 9 weeks â 13 weeks.
1 Babies don't use bassinets for very long. 2  There are no hard-and-fast rules to this, but in general the most use you can expect to get out of a bassinet is 6 months, and many will find that their baby outgrows it much faster than that. 3  You might find it more cost-effective to just purchase a crib. On the other hand, bassinets are usually low enough that you can place the baby in it from a sitting position, if need be. 2  They're portable. 3  If your baby's nursery is far away from your bedroom, you can simply wheel it around to a more convenient place during the day. 4  This is a huge benefit for a lot of parents.
