This did not work for my little guy. I tried it when he was older in music mode, even that was disappointing. It sounded like a bad piano recital. I had such high hopes for this and was very let down.

I bought this for my two week old who was very, very fussy and I did not get the results I had hoped for. It did not put him to sleep, the batteries did not last that long. What I did find was that when he was almost to sleep it worked to help keep him a sleep or in the car(baby bear) worked great for the car ride and when out and about he loved the music not the heartbeat. His cheap little alarm clock that plays nature sounds works a lot better.

I bought this bear for my 5 week old daughter to calm her when she is feeling fussy and the usual tehcniques don't work.
I was really excited to get this because she is very calmed by noises from the hairdryer or a vaccum, but it wasn't quite the miracle worker I had hoped for. I found that this bear wasn't loud enough at times for her to hear it over her crying!

It think it did help her sleep a little bit longer though--if she was already calm and was drifting off to sleep I could put it in her crib and it seemed to lull her into a deeper sleep--with less startles/awakenings. It's not bad--but typically the hair dryer works better at calming her down initially--once she is calm--then this bear can take over. Also--have an eyeglass repair kit and an extra set of batteries on hand. The batteries don't last too long.

This was a must-have on my registery. I heard about it 13 years ago when my twin nieces were born. This bear was the only thing that would get the girls to fall asleep. I have recommended it to my sister-in-laws, who now also think it's the best thing to have! I did end up getting it, and it's even better than the one from 13 years ago!! It comes with a baby bear that you can actually insert the sound box into (from the mother bear) and use it when traveling. It's very soft and both bears have a velcro attachment to attach it to the crib. You can change the womb sound to classical music simply by flipping a switch on the sound box. This really is a great item to have.

My daughter has the earlier version of the mommy bear (she was born in 1998). She is now 7 years old and still uses it along with other sleep toys that she uses on a rotating basis. She knows that this is her first bear that she had from day one and she says that she wants to keep it forever. The batteries last for a long time because it has an auto shut off feature.
I highly reccoment this product.
