This review is from: Prince Lionheart Original Slumber Bear with Silkie Blanket - Beige (Baby Product)

This is a great item. I found out about it on the "Baby Whisperer" forums. We have this hung on the side of my baby's crib where her feet can kick it (and start it) when she fidgets. Sometimes she will wake and start to fidget and when this comes on she settles right down and goes back to sleep. We also turn it on for her as part of our routine to signal that it is time to go to sleep. The first time we used it she was two weeks old and she wasn't settling down. When we turned it on she perked up, listened intently, and then practically melted into my shoulder! She went off to sleep pretty quickly after that.

It is a shame it only runs for five minutes, but I've found that my baby tends to kick it when it shuts off. We hear it run multiple times during the night also. If it didn't shut off after five minutes it would run the batteries out even quicker.

Ah yes, the great problem with this product.... We go through a set of four AAA batteries every three days with this! Thankfully we got ourselves some rechargeables, but even then you need two sets so one can charge while you use the other one.

I didn't find the silkie particulaly useful. Maybe when she is older she'll want it for something, but right now we can't put it close to her without it being a hazard and she doesn't seem to know it exists if it isn't very close. Perhaps other babies will be different.

The sound box is not very loud when it is inside the bear. We ended up taking it out and hanging it by it's velcro strip to the bear's arm so that it could be turned towards our baby.

A great feature of this product is that the sound becomes more and more faint as the battery dies. This way she can still hear it, but we know that the batteries need changing.

There is an on and off switch and a volume control knob.

In our house this has been very well worth the purchase price. Very worthwhile!

4.0 out of 5 stars a nice little bonus item, July 19, 2005

The previous reviewer was a bit harsh on this product. Maybe it doesn't work with colicky babies, but my son didn't have colic and he really enjoyed the sounds. My only negative was that the sound shut off too quickly. 5 minutes at the most. To be truly effective, it needs to play longer. It also successfully lulled my husband and I back to sleep when my son was in his bassinet in our room, so that's an added bonus! It's definitely not something to make high priority, but if you get it as a gift or can borrow on, I would definitely recommend it. Oh and by the way, ALL of the techniques shown in Happiest Baby on the Block work like a charm. Maybe not on colicky babies though...

This device had my child falling asleep after he had woken up in the middle of the night- because it's sound activated by the babies cries. I know of no other soother that you don't have to get up and turn on. The white noise sounds of the womb comforted my child and it saved me quite a bit of sleep.
