Tommee Tippee Grofriend Baby Sound and Light Sleep Aid, USB-Rechargeable, Soothing Sounds, Lullabies and White Noise, CrySensor and Nightlight, Ollie the Owl

Product Information

Moms worldwide prefer Ewan The Shushing Sheep thanks to its SmartCry sensor, the real recordings of shush and heartbeat sounds, and the fact that it’s machine washable because the control pod is removable. Some white noise machines boast huge numbers of different sounds, including various tones of white noise, as well as nature sounds and more. While it can be useful to have several different noises to choose from, most people will only end up using one sound on a regular basis, so this is not always the most important feature of a white noise machine.

We’ve been given an Ollie the Owl by a friend who swears by it. It plays for a while and then goes off but reactivates if the baby wakes.” (Rated by Mumsnet user User3627290) Our verdict

Lumi white noise machine

When your baby cries, many may boost the sound for several minutes to the level of the baby's cries. After they fall asleep, they then reduce the sound to around 65 dB. Our favourite features? This clever white noise machine can be controlled via the MyHummy app, which means you don't need to take the noise machine out of the bear to turn it on, and can adjust the sound and volume without even being in the room. It comes with a handy velcro strap too, meaning you can easily attach it to the inside of the cot or anywhere else you fancy. The Marpac Dohm White Noise Machine doesn’t use recordings, played in a loop, like other white noise machines. Instead, the noise is created by a small fan inside the body of the machine. When you’ve got a baby, sleep is a very precious commodity. When baby gets a good night’s sleep, the whole family gets a good night’s sleep, and so there are lots of baby sleep aids available which will soothe baby to sleep, and help it to stay asleep too.

The original Ewan toy was purple and white, and later versions include a soft grey and warm brown colour model. This is handy if you want to buy one for different children and don’t want to get them mixed up. Another feature they often have is the ability to mimic the sound of the womb - newborns are so used to this sound that without it, their bodies can find it difficult to adjust. Ollie is a surface wash only toy due to his electrical components. Please do not put him in the washing machine or tumble dryer. Just wipe him over with a damp cloth. Do not use any chemicals as it may affect the fabrics or transfer to your child’s environment. Ollie The Owl is user-friendly. It’s easy to use, and you’re able to control the volume and brightness, making it suitable for both you and your baby. You can choose from low, medium, and high volumes depending on your baby’s sleeping preferences. CrySensorBoth of these toys can be attached to your baby’s cot, Ollie by a fabric loop and Ewan by his tail. However neither of these toys should be left loose in a young baby’s cot for safety reasons. When baby is a little older both will make a cute and cuddly toy. When you become a parent, you soon learn that, unfortunately, not all babies actually sleep ‘like a baby.’ Even once you've spent time and money choosing the best crib and making sure it's comfy, helping your baby learn to sleep well can be one of the biggest struggles for new parents, and it’s an issue that can linger through their toddler years and beyond. The CrySensor is available on Ollie’s right wing and plays the Lullaby or White Noise static. The Heartbeat and Rainfall sounds are activated from Ollie’s left wing but do not have the CrySensor facility.

Ollie The Owl also plays sounds that your baby is familiar with to soothe them to sleep. These sounds are: Next, place a suitable container under the dispenser. Refit the water hopper and fill it with one litre of boiling water. The water light will extinguish, and the temperature light will illuminate. Like Ewan the Dream Sheep, Ollie also has a velcro strap, allowing you to secure it onto handles and bars. The strap is ideal for hanging Ollie onto the crib or your baby’s car seat.The machine is suitable from birth and has a timer button that you simply press to switch it on for 20 minutes. Unlike all of the other white noise machines we looked at, the Fisher-Price Cloud Soother doesn’t make you choose just one single sound for your baby to fall asleep to. Instead, it has the ability to play a full playlist of gentle music and soft white noise to gradually lull your baby to sleep.
