Dreaming of a peaceful night's sleep.

Advantages: Provides some light.
Disadvantages: Too loud.

When I was just over 8 months pregnant with my son, I was ready to leave work to rest and prepare for the arrival of my baby, my work friends gave me a voucher to use in Mothercare as a leaving gift. So I went to Mothercare and had a good look around, I didn't need anything because I had already bought everything I needed for the arrival of my son. So I had a look at what other things would be suitable for a newborn and decided on a cot mobile, ...
...show. It was priced just under £20, which seemed reasonable. Tomy is a trusted manufacturer this made purchasing the item easier, the Lullaby night light features Winnie the Pooh who is a recognisable and favoured infant character. This product is suitable for newborns and should be taken down once baby is mobile, it doesn't specify what age it goes up to but my son was able to pull it off the cot once he could reach it. It is a nice size (24 ...

Mum's Tum Revisited !

Advantages: Good features, easy to use, compact
Disadvantages: A few more tunes would improve it

...drifting off to sleep to the soothing and comforting sound of your mother's heartbeat. Or perhaps you would prefer to hear waves crashing onto the shoreline, or the relaxing sound of rain splashing onto a window. Wouldn't it be wonderful ? And babies would quite like it too ! That is what you get with Nature's Lullaby Player. In fact, you get much more as well, and all this for the reasonable price of around £ 19.95. Of course, I didn't pay that ...
...MAKES IT ? = The Lullaby Player is made by an American company called The First Years Inc. They make several products for babies and toddlers including monitors, play and discovery toys, and feeding and bathing equipment. IS IT EASY TO SET UP ? = Yes, it is. To install the batteries is simple. You have to remove the light cover to get access to the battery compartment. To do this, you press a tab located on the ...

Starlight to sleep

Advantages: Cheap and really works!
Disadvantages: only 3 lullabies

...I came across the Tomy Starlight Dream Show while I was browsing around Sainsburys. It cost around £12 and I couldnt wait to get home and give it a try. It's a yellow star shape and can be used freestanding or attached to the cot with a light rubber/plastic strap (included) that won't scratch the cot. There is a time setting and on/off switch located at the side of the star which. It can be left playing for 5mins or 10mins and then at the end of ...
...also choose between sound and pictures or just pictures which is great if your little one is not settling with the lullaby. It plays 3 lullabies and projects cute teddies, clouds and stars onto the ceiling. If it was enough to send my Fiancee to sleep it was enough for my daughter! The first night we gave it a shot, put our daughter down for the night, baring in mind she was still awake! We turned on the dreamshow and that was it, her eyes were ...

A light show with a difference!

Advantages: entertaining, soothing
Disadvantages: none!

Mrs B and I bought this night light when we were struggling to get Baby B to sleep. It seemed that every evening Baby B decided that she wasn't happy with being put to bed as she wanted to play and didn't want to be left alone in her room whilst we were downstairs watching the telly and busy writing on ciao! We tried her with a night light and we tried her with leaving ahoover on after someone told us it was white noise she needed but she still wanted ...
...eventually would fall asleep. We bought this night light though as it is more than just a night light- it projects the light onto the ceiling and what's more the light is actually a picture and the picture moves! The picture is thrown up onto the ceiling and then moves round in a circle. This is great as it catches Baby B's attention and she soon falls asleep just watching it. As well as the light it also plays music. This music can be played on ...

Bumbo Seat - Useful for about 4 weeks

Advantages: Good for getting them to sit up in the in-between stage before they can do it themselves
Disadvantages: Bulky, not used for long

...heard great things about these Bumbo Seats & I'm sure for some people they are great but we found it very different to others so thought I would let you know... We purchased ours from Mothercare along with a tray which fits onto the seat, it was £36.99. It comes in various colours (blue, pink & red) & is quite heavy. The bumbo basically has a shape of a babies/young childs bottom in it so they can sit in & be comfortable...it encourages them to ...
...& then crawling so the bumbo became redundant...we used it for nearly 3 months & even then it wasn't every day or often really. We thought it would be useful to take to peoples houses but it wasn't really transportable in a nice way, no carrier bag was big enough, it doesn't fold so you were carrying something that on the underneath resembles a 'pigs bottom' shape! :-) & the tray was taken seperately as sometimes it would fall off or it just made ...
