Baby Products Reviews of Cloud b Sleep Sheep Four Soothing Sounds From Nature
Customer Review: My little guy loves his sleep sheep!
Summary: 5 Stars
We purchased the sleep sheep at the recommendation of one of the teachers at our son's daycare when he started attending at 12 weeks old. I actually bought two - one for his crib at home and one for daycare. We use the "rain" sound and as soon as he hears it, it signals to him that its time for a nap. I liked the idea of something familar that he'd have both at home and at "school". Often times they'll put several of the babies bouncy seats in a circle with the Sleep sheep in the middle and everyone snoozes listening to the rain. It's also a great way for us to signal to him that its time to go back to sleep whenever he wakes in the night for a bottle.
The Sleep Sheep worked out really well for us ... I'd recommend it for anyone who is seeking a way to help their baby sleep. I've given several as shower gifts since getting ours.
Customer Review: The Sleep Sheep is wonderful for our little one
Summary: 5 Stars
We've used the Sleep Sheep for our 5.5 month old daughter since she came home from the hospital. When she was a newborn she was particularly soothed by the mother's heartbeat sound. As she has gotten older she's started to enjoy the rain and ocean sounds as well. As for the whale sounds, my husband and I find it a bit creepy and not very soothing so we simply don't use that sound.
Many of our friends have used white noise machines with their kids but we find the Sleep Sheep's sounds to be much more pleasant, and this has the added bonus of automatic shutoff after 23 minutes. The sheep is still on the original set of batteries, even with daily use. We also like that there is a Velcro strap allowing the sheep to be strapped to the outside of the crib (we keep a "naked" crib for safety's sake).
Customer Review: Poor execution
Summary: 2 Stars
First of all, 3 of the 4 sound choices are useless. HEARTBEAT must be for baby aliens, `cause it's not even close to human and is not soothing at all. RAIN is just a 4-sec. clip very badly spliced so that you hear the splice more than the rain. Listening to a badly spliced tape repeat every 4 seconds is annoying, not soothing. The WHALE sounds might be great for whales who happen to live in a Haunted House, because that's what they sound like on this thing. The OCEAN sound IS soothing...until it stops 20 minutes later. The sound stopping abruptly wakes my baby up, which means I have to wake up every 20 minutes to keep it going! Can you tell I'm sleep deprived, and this thing isn't helping?
I finally just put my Ipod on "repeat all" mode and let her listen to Mozart instead on the iHome.
Customer Review: Love this sheep.... for my second child
Summary: 4 Stars
I received this from my mother in law for my first son 3+ years ago, and unfortunately it was not a great product for him. He was (and still is) a very high energy child and we had a lot of trouble getting him to sleep. While very soothing, this wasn't a magic wand for him. That said, our 2nd (albeit mellower) child now almost falls asleep instantly when we turn this on for him... It is very cute though & makes a great addition to the nursery, which makes it a great unique gift.
I also recommend getting a CD player for the nursery though & buying the CD "Bedtime with the Beatles"... Worked miracles for my first child when we incorporated it into the nighttime routine around 9 months. At 3, he still loves to listen to it when falling asleep. (Pavlovian response almost...)
Customer Review: Be Warned...
Summary: 1 Stars
We need noise because of the sounds outside my son's window, and because of household noises, which were waking him up prematurely. Well, this product's noise TIMES OUT. As if one only needs noise while they're GOING to sleep...my son's most sensitive time is toward the end of his nap, and with a noise machine that runs non-stop, his naps can be extended by up to 45 minutes! NEedless to say, this product did not do the trick and has been in the closet for 2 years since I figured that out. (To make matters worse, before I realized it timed out at 23 minutes, it would wake him UP when it stopped making the noise!! Ugh...) My suggestion is that you get a GOOD white noise machine that will run all night long...those not intended for babies seem to be the best quality, in my opinion.
