This has been a huge help in our house! It not only helps our little one fall asleep but helps comfort her if she stirs...she drifts back off to sleep.

This bear plays 2 different songs, has a heartbeat mode, and 2 nature sounds. I like that this is done with the push of a button and not a wind up. There is also a volume control.

My daughter loves this bear. Has been great in calming her down since she's been in her own room, which was 2 months old. She even knows how to turn the music on and off and how to adjust the volume with the buttons. Great at calming her down for sleep during the night.

While the concept of womb simulation/sound has been proven successful, this bear is not. The bear is super soft and of course, cute, and I like the idea of it covering the electronics of the sound machine. However, it quit working properly after only 3 weeks. I had it in my son's play yard, where he slept while in our room, and it worked great. When we set up his nursery and moved him to his "big boy" room, I set up the bear in his crib. Since then, it keeps shutting off within a minute or less. I can't figure out why. To be honest, I haven't spent a lot of time trying to fix it, but I don't think I should have to...being that it is less than a month from purchase. And having a newborn, I don't have the time to have to worry about it.

It is disappointing that it isn't working now. It wasn't that expensive, so it's not worth my time to return it or call the manufacturer. We'll just use the cuddly bear without the sounds. I personally would recommend some other "white noise" (etc.) machine.

That all said, maybe it's just my bad luck??? It was recommended to me, so I guess that person had great success with it. I purchased it to encourage my son to sleep in his bed during the daytime. He sleeps fine through the night but only sleeps 10 minutes at a time during the day unless I am holding him. Unfortunately, this item did not help our dilemma. I didn't hurt anything, but I feel it was an unnecessary purchase and I could've used the money for something else.

This bear works really well for our 2 month old son. He falls asleep more quickly when we play the womb noise and the music and nature sounds are pleasant for other times. I also like that it automatically shuts off after a certain time but I am not sure how much of a battery saver it is. I use duracell batteries with this and it seems that after a week or so, they are dead. We use the bear maybe 3 times a day but a week still seems a bit short lived. I wonder if a white noise machine that plugs in might work just as well...

Having had this bear for almost 7 mos now, I can say that while it's still cute and soft etc, we almost never use the noise machine part because it's on a timer that runs out way too fast. Instead, we use a Dex noise machine for white noise. I still like this bear, but it's really just a crib decoration for us. Wouldn't buy it if I had it to do over again. Looking forward to when our son is older and we can just pull the sound maker and turn this into a toy for him; it'll get a lot more use that way.

Requires 3 "AAA" batteries (included)

It will stop working after a while...
You have to remember to change the batteries...

I love it, my son loves it!

We were given this as a gift and within a week or two the womb sounds machine was broken. It will only play for about 30 seconds. I can't return it as it was a gift.

As a teddy bear, it's very cute and cuddly, and my son loves it, but if you're buying it for the sounds machine then don't bother. We ended up pulling out the machine and stitching the bear back up so it can be a regular teddy bear.

My daughter loves this! She is 10 months now and we took out the sounds, which is removable and let her play with the teddy. I have given this bear several times as a new mom shower gift.

I BOUGHT THIS FOR MY GRANDSON. WE TOOK IT TO THE HOSPITAL WHEN HE WAS BORN AND HE AND DAD LOVED IT! THEY BOTH SLEPT! THOUGHT WE WOULD START HIM ON IT RIGHT AWAY AND IT DOES WORK TO CALM HIM. BUY THIS! OH AND THE VELCRO IS REMOVABLE WHEN BABY IS OLD ENOUGH TO CARRY BEAR.
