5.0 out of 5 stars This Light is a Godsend! April 12, 2010

By R. White

I don't use that description loosely here, this crib light has rescued our sleep and sanity a few times a week since we bought it. Each time our daughter (10 months old) wakes up and is put back down by the crib light, we breathe a sigh of relief and say "sooo worth the money!".

It is a simple product, with switches that you can easily find even fumbling in the dark with a baby in your arm. It is safe - it attaches firmly to the side of the crib. The lights are soft and soothing, but just bright enough to see the baby. The sound is just like the sound of mom's heartbeat that you hear in an ultrasound. That sounded gimmicky to us at first, but it really works. The sound stops after about 10 minutes - plenty of time for her to drift back off to sleep.

The only con I can think of with this crib light is that, by design, it stays on while in voice activation mode and drains batteries a little. It isn't "idiot proof". You have to remember to turn it off when not being used. We kept forgetting to turn it off and it drained the batteries in about a month. If you remember to turn it off, they will last much longer.

Overall, I highly recommend this product for any new parent trying to help their baby sleep through the night.

5.0 out of 5 stars wish they had these when I had my babies December 3, 2007

By CindyM

This is such a soothing sleeping aid for infants. Bought for my granddaughter and it is used each time she's put in the crib. The gentle sound and soft lights are fantastic. no background static as I've heard in other crib sound/light devices which seem for older babies. A definite must for newborns.

5.0 out of 5 stars What a life-saver!! January 22, 2009

By R. Lopez

My son (6 months old) was having some trouble falling asleep at night and would wake up a couple of times during the night and it was sometimes difficult to get him to go back to sleep. I bought the night light out and what a difference! He loves the lights and the womb sounds. He peacefully drifts off to sleep at night and if he wakes up during the night, the night light turns on and lulls him back to sleep. I haven't been this well rested since before he was born! I have seen some reviews that complain that the light isn't very bright and the noises aren't very loud, but I think they're perfect. Any brighter or louder and it would be disruptive instead of soothing. It's a great buy for anyone with a baby!

2.0 out of 5 stars Nice accessory - but it's a battery-eater! April 10, 2007

By kiwimommy

We bought this crib light, despite reviews that it goes through batteries quickly. Unfortunately, those reviews were right. It eats batteries WAAAY too quickly - as in, it didn't last a month with very light use. The sounds and lights are captivating, and the voice-activated mode is handy, but having to unattach the thing all the time just to change the batteries (yet AGAIN) became a nuisance. Now it's just a non-functioning white box on our baby's crib. For "womb sounds", we just place a windup clock in the crib since it's the repetitive "white noise" that comforts the baby, rather than any electronic mother's heartbeat. I would have been better off spending my money on a musical mobile to hang.

1.0 out of 5 stars Stay away from this product-Company no longer sell or services this crib light. February 24, 2012

By gutlass1976

Recieved this item as a gift, worked great for about a week. Out of the blue it just stopped working. Switched to new batteries and reset the device. Nada.
Amazon was swift with sending a replacement, however it was dead right out of the box. When I called customer support they stated they no longer service or sell the crib light and that I needed to return it back to Amazon because "They take returns on everything". So much for this crib light and Munchkins customer support.

1.0 out of 5 stars waste of money October 4, 2011

By Carlos De Cunha

as first time parents we wanted the perfect nursery set up for our baby and we got caught with the description for this light: "on...the moment it hears your baby cry", "And the lights are just the right brightness for nighttime checking or diaper changing"...boy o boy! nothing could be further from the truth!! before we installed it my husband tried all the different tones of voice to see when it would come on-all to no avail. so we thought "it's baby-voice sensitive"...waste of thought again...we actually let our son cry for about 5 minutes just waiting to see when it would come on...well...we're still waiting!!!
apart from that, the colors of the lights...let's just say "they grasp the concept of 'dim light' a little too well". i tried using it during a diaper change and soon realized i wasn't seeing a ting!! while some of the colors do cast a reasonable light some pretty much go dark...
summary: look for another night light; pass on this one!

5.0 out of 5 stars Worth Every Single Penny September 26, 2009

This is the greatest item to have for getting your infant to drift off to sleep. It might not work every time, but I have great success with it with our 2 month old and so have many of my friends who told me about this awesome product. My son loves the soft transitions of soft colors. When a brighter color is shown it causes him to close his eyes, and since he's tired (but refusing to sleep!) it encourages him to keep those eyes closed and finally go to sleep. It was worth the first night this arrived! An absolute MUST HAVE!
