Sleep Sheep

Sharing is caring!

For the nine months before birth, babies are constantly hearing different sounds.  They hear a heart beating, blood flowing, tummy gurgles, and that’s before you add in the sounds from the outside world.  It’s no wonder that babies are soothed by white noise sounds after they are born.  There are a lot of white noise makers on the market, but my favorite one, especially for a newborns, is the cloud.b Sleep Sheep.

Nick received his Sleep Sheep as a birth present from his Aunt Heather.  I kind of knew what it was because I had seen it before in my baby magazines, but I didn’t know a lot about it.  By the time we left the hospital we had decided that it was the best gift ever and that it was a must have baby item.

On our second day at the hospital Nick was fussy.  Being new, and completely sleep deprived parents, Jason and I were starting to run out of ideas of how to calm him.  That’s when we thought of the Sleep Sheep that Aunt Heather had brought the day before.  Jason got it out put it in the corner of Nick’s crib, and turned it on.  Immediately Nick calmed down.  We were truly amazed, and this wonderful phenomenon happened over and over again.  Six months later we still turn Nick’s Sleep Sheep on when we put him down to sleep.  I honestly don’t know what we would have done without it.

The Sleep Sheep plays four different sounds (stream, rain, ocean and whale), and it can be set to play for either 23 or 45 minutes.  The volume is controlled with a turn dial allowing mom and dad to find the perfect volume level for baby.  It has a velcro strap on the back allowing it to be strapped on to different items (crib, swing, stroller, etc.).

There are two different Sleep Sheep, the regular one and a travel one.  The one that this review is for, and the one pictured in these pictures, is for the travel one.  I personally find the travel one better because the regular one does not allow you to choose different play lengths.  The regular one automatically turns off after 23 minutes.  Plus the sounds are a tad different and the regular one does not contain the one that works best for my son (stream).

What has been your experience with the cloud.b Sleep Sheep?
