Cloud b Sleep Sheep On the Go - Four Soothing Sounds from Nature

When I saw my friend attach her Sleep Sheep On the Go to her daughter's bassinet, I knew I had to have one. 2 months later I still rave about the purchase. CD's and my iPod are great, but Sleep Sheep really works on those nights or mornings when I'm having trouble getting restful sleep. Without having to get out of bed, I simply press the rain sounds button--my favorite setting--and inevitably I fall back asleep. I enjoy it so much, my 11-year-old son wants one!

This is an excellent product for babies, kids and us not so kids anymore!

I had my doubts at first because it didn't have the heartbeat sound that I thought we needed to help calm our 1 month old.

She was displaying what seemed like a mild case of colic (getting fussy/upset only at nights). After researching online and looking at various books (esp the happiest baby on the block). I learned about the 5 S's. One of which was to shush her or have "white noise" which emulates the sounds of rushing fluids when they are still in the womb. I also read this several places online. I was so glad to have found this info as it not only worked perfectly, but meant that I could get this item after all!

See I really wanted it in the first place because of its small size. It meant that we could carry it around with us inside the house. My wife and I pretty much take turns with baby. This means that most of the time we are in one of several rooms in the house, i.e. living room, kitchen, computer room etc. With it's small size it meant it would be easy to move about the house with baby, paci, etc in tow. It's even got a cool loop so you can dangle it from a finger while rocking/holding baby, or if your moving to another room or going upstairs to retire for the night.

However the size wasn't the 1st reason we were looking into it, it was actually the sounds, a calming affect we wanted/needed. We are so glad we purchased it after reading about the white noise, as a heartbeat wouldn't have worked since it's intermittent and not a constant "sssssssshhhhhhhhh" sound. we use the ocean sound the most and set the volume to match babies volume :D The white noise affect from the ocean not only helps to calm the baby, but I tell you what, it also helps to calm me down!! esp. if you have what might be a colicy baby. I had no idea and hadnt even considered that as a reason or need! After realizing it also had a soothing affect on me as well, I really loved it. (we've read that a baby can also sense your frustration?!). Maybe I should consider one for work, lol.

All in All, I had to give it 5 stars, whoever wrote the other review was way off! The auto-switch off with two settings is NO big deal at all. There's a 25 and 45 minute switch which helps so that you are going out a spending cash on batteries every month. If the sound stops, ya just push the sound button again, duh. Chances are it's either right there on you or within arms reach anyways.

Long story short, If you've got a colic baby or just one that gets a tad fussy at night (when your already tired yourself) This really is an awesome tool... for both of you.

For both of my children, I use this sleep sheep. I set it to the "stream" and my children fall asleep within minutes. It is also nice to take when my children are sleeping in a foreign place such as on vacation or at a family members or friends house. It is a constant sound that they are familiar with. For my son, it helped me to get him to sleep through the night. Early on I would play it for him and he would fall asleep. In the middle of the night I would do the same. Within days, he was sleeping through the night. The sleep sheep works like a charm!! I HIGHLY recommend it and I actually purchase it for all of my pregnant friends.

I bought this as a gift and the couple really liked it, they said the sounds are in fact really soothing and the animal very plush.

I love that this is a portable sound machine. I can strap it on my son's car seat and take it anywhere. The 45 minute timer is also a great feature. Most noise machines out there shut off after only 10-15 minutes...right about when my son is just drifting off, and the change in sound wakes him up. The noise device can be removed and you are left with a cute stuffed toy. I highly recommend this product.
