We have had the Sea Dreams soother in Mason's crib for about 10 months now and I can honestly say it is one of my all time favorite baby items (also on that list is the beloved Exersaucer which he has sadly grown out of). It soothes him to sleep at bedtime, if he wakes up in the middle of the night he hits the button and the music and lights soothe him right back to sleep. In the mornings when he wakes up he hits the button and goes back to sleep for another 20-30 minutes. He uses the light some mornings to sit and read before we come in the room and other times we just catch him in the monitor watching the sea creature show on the soother screen. He has started to associate the music with falling asleep and it has been our lives so much easier.
The other day we realized that we haven't heard him cry out in the morning for us to come get him in weeks. He just sits or stands in his crib with the soother on until we come get him....we would never really even know he was up without a monitor.
Whether your child sleeps through the night or is up all night tossing and turning....this soother is a must-have. It teaches baby to soothe without you needing to physically go in their room which equals more sleep for parents and more time for coffee in the morning before they wake up and the day really starts. It also comes with a remote so you can turn on the soother from the door without even getting near the crib (genius!).
