Cloud B Sleep Sheep: Help your Baby Fall Asleep more Easily and Sleep Sounder

Cloud B Sleep Sheep Helps Your Baby Fall Asleep More Easily!

Being a new parent and sleep deprivation is synonymous. In the 2004 issue of the UK magazine, Mother and Baby, they reported that in the first four months of parenthood, most mothers averaged less than five hours per night. If you're a new parent, I am sure you can relate. After dragging yourself out of bed night after night, you're probably sleep-deprived and frazzled. Your performance may be suffering at work, and you may even be scared of being fired. In fact, it may even be affecting your marriage. One study found that self-reported relationship satisfaction between new parents was strongly associated with total sleep time. If this sounds like you, the Cloud B Sleep Sheep can help you and your baby sleep more peacefully.

If you baby isn't sleeping well,  don't blame yourself. Babies, especially newborns, have different sleep patterns than adults. Unlike adults, babies do not sleep throughout the night. Even if they could, it wouldn't be healthy for them. Considering their stomachs are so small and formula or breast milk is easily digest, they need more frequent feedings. They won't sleep a full night until they are six months of age. Even when they do start sleeping a full night, it's not comparable to a full night of sleep for an adult. A full night for a baby is usually around five hours of sleep.

Secondly, babies don't fall into a deep sleep as quickly as adults, and they sleep lighter. Whereas adults fall into a deep sleep quickly, it take approximately 20 minutes or longer for a baby to reach a deep sleep. Not only does it take a baby longer to reach a deep sleep, they also have twice the amount of light sleep in comparison to adults. Consequently, if they hungry, wet, cold, or feeling ill, they will awaken more easily. Since they can't care for their own needs, this ensures their survival.

Last but not least, while some babies can self-soothe themselves when you lay them down or they awaken, others are dependent upon a bottle, breast, rocking, or a mother's loving touch. Although you can't teach a baby to self-soothe, you can provide the opportunity and right enviroment for your baby to teach itself. Used by many parents successfully, the Cloud B Sleep Sheep is a sleep aid that will help your baby self-soothe and fall asleep more easily.

Research has discovered that certain sounds can calm a colicky or fussy baby. These sounds include music, white noise, the sounds of nature, and a mother's heartbeat. In The Secret Life of the Unborn Child, Thomas Verney wrote, "Musicologists seem to agree that rythyms similar to a mother's heartbeat have the most calming affect on babies in utero." Futhermore, white noise works because while the baby is in utero, it hears a constant sound similar to and a little louder than a vacuum.

The Sleep Sheep soothes your baby with sound. This adorable, fleecy, sleeping lamb is securely attatched to the crib with Velcro. It produces four soothing sounds: gently, rolling, ocean waves; soft, spring showers; harmonious, whate songs; and a mother's calming heartbeat (Listen to the sounds in the video below). Not only does it have an adjustable volume control, it also has an automatic timeout function. The time out function can be set for either 23 minutes or 45 minutes. Cloaked in the fleecy sheep, the sound box runs on 2 AA batteries. The fleece covering is machine washable. In addition to helping babies sleep, it can also be beneficial for older children too. In fact, some parents have even been known to borrow their baby's Sleep Sheep.

Rated an overall 4 1/2 stars out of a possible five stars in Amazon customer reviews, many parents have raved about the Sleep Sheep. Not only will it help your little one sleep better at night, It also helps during nap time. It even works great for older children. One Amazon customer said, "Allow me to just agree with those who love this. My infant son loves this. We sent one to day care when he started there and before you know it several other kids have one. The teachers love it - the sounds really help the kids get to sleep and it's a good toy for them to cuddle up too. It worked so well we bought a second one for home. It's been a big help for us at nap time (particularly when we are off his schedule or away from home - he knows when we pull it out and turn it on that it's time to take a nap)."
