Back to Sleep bear also comes with silkie, the natural bonding aid that retains parents' scent and reassures baby of their presence. The Back to Sleep bear is on permanent display at the Smithsonian institute in Washington, D.C. in the information age exhibit. This requires 3 AAA batteries which are included.

4.0 out of 5 stars Back to Sleep, December 6, 2009

This review is from: Prince Lionheart Back to Sleep Bear, Brown (Baby Product)

Ordered the bear for my son, he was having a hard time sleeping in his own room during the first few weeks we put him in his crib. The bear helped with the transition from his co-sleeper in our room into his crib in his room. I slept with the bear and the blanket for several nights to transfer my smell to them. We also recorded both my husband's and my voices on the recorder shushing and soothing the baby. We washed the bear and the blanket when we received them because they both had fuzz and strings on them. I actually washed the blanket twice to try to get all of the fuzz off of them. When they came out of the package they had a slightly chemical smell that came off when we washed them.

4.0 out of 5 stars Indispensable for Comforting Sleep Trained Babies, February 28, 2010

This review is from: Prince Lionheart Back to Sleep Bear, Brown (Baby Product)

I have 2 children - the first I bought the Slumber Bear Plus for because he was such a poor sleeper and it didn't help massively but he was about 6 months old when we introduced it to him so I think it was just too late - our second child had the slumber bear plus and the Back to Sleep Bear (which is the newer version) from birth - she relies on it completely - it stopped her crying when she was newborn and now that she is now almost 1 it helps her to resettle herself when she wakes in the night which spares us from the middle of the night stumble to the nursery to 'shush' her. I don't think it will work for every child but in combination with sleep training I do think it really gives comfort to a small baby who needs reassurance to relax into sleep. We are about to buy our 3rd because the sound boxes do become rather temperamental as they age but considering the amount of use ours get and the results they provide I really don't mind at all. Indispensable.

3.0 out of 5 stars Perfectly good, but could live without it., January 20, 2010

By	ej "ej" (DC, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Prince Lionheart Back to Sleep Bear, Brown (Baby Product)

The bear itself if not, perhaps, the highest quality construction, but overall we were well pleased when we unwrapped this item. The bear is soft, the little blanket quite cute. The actual noise-maker is quality, and I appreciate that you can adjust the volume easily. The pre-recorded sounds are much higher quality, in my opinion, than the standard pre-recorded noises you would imagine on a sleep machine. The recordable option is nice as well, and very easy to use.

My husband and my only objection to this product: the way the bear looks. I hope I'm not offensive but this bear does not look sleepy as much as it looks stoned (my husband and I had quite the laughing fit over it). We actually nicknamed it "creepy bear"! I have kept the blanket, and the noise-maker, but put it in a hand puppet we have... and I sent the bear to a charity! But that is such a personal preference thing: we simply didn't care for the way the bear looked.

My baby is now 5 months old and this items seems to work sometime, and of course, doesn't other times (when she's hungry or needs changing). Could we live without it? Yes. Would I get it again if I had to do it over? Probably.
