Customer Reviews

 Got here quick, good price, but smashed box - Jul 04, 2010

The box wasn't so bad, and it was, perhaps, the fault of the post-office. Cardboard box with clear-plastic viewing section, which was badly crumpled. That's all!

 love it - Jun 28, 2010

I don't know how I would have gotten through those first few weeks without the sleep sheep's 'ocean' noises. It was one of the only things that would calm my son for sleep.

 great gift - Jun 28, 2010

I've purchase 3 of these so far as gifts for newborns and I've gotten nothing but excellent feedback.

 Unbelievable... - Jun 16, 2010

This is one probably the BEST baby shower gift ever received! After 8 months, my son still sleeps with it. He loves the ocean sound. It is so practical and the timer switch (20min or 45min) is really a plus.

 Broken on the first day - Jun 12, 2010

We can not turn on/off the sound smoothly, or tune down the sound in the case when we "luckily" turned it on. The switch was broken. Waste of our money.

 Not soft and cuddly - Jun 10, 2010

After reading much reviews decided to order this, first of all it size is quite awkard and i imagined it to be cuddly for my lill one to snuggle with. The music box is quite bulky, slips in the back therefore leaving some bulkness. If you just set it aside in a crib for the soothing sounds it would be great. My lil girl just tossed it aside, would be awesome if it played music besides just the soothing nature sounds. I'm returning it, maybe it would work for someone else, just not safisfied with it...

 Great but wish there was no timer. - Jun 06, 2010

My daughter loves the sleep sheep. It helps her fall and stay asleep. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because I wish that there was an option to have it keep going. When it goes off she wakes up :(.

 Very nice white noise option amongst MANY - Jun 03, 2010

From birth to year one, you probably DON'T need a physical object making noise for your baby since you aren't supposed to put anything in the crib.

That said, I hang sleep sheep from the side of the co-sleeper, set it to 45 mins and hit the 'rain' option.

I don't mind at all the timing out of the sound. I like the idea that it helps baby fall asleep without creating an unneeded, night-long dependency.

Some babies 100% absolutely need the constant sound (get an MP3 player and docking station, download MP3 white noise of your choice and hit 'loop'), but if your baby does not then the timing out options are great.

I was also given a white noise bear by Carter's, but I simply pulled the sound box from it and 'attached' it the car seat so we have 'rain' for the road...ironic since I live in Seattle.

Overall, white noise of any kind I recommend, but if you like the cuteness of Sleep Sheep it's worth the buy.

Would be nice if FUTURE versions were MP3 compatible OR if they offered MP3 compatible inserts. That'd be handy as baby grows and you want OTHER types of night time music in a secure and cuddly location.

 first christmas present - May 24, 2010

I got this item for my son's first christmas. We used it every night until he was a one year old. It is hypoallergenic and easy to clean. It needs a 9v battery but it lasts a long time. Some ambient sound systems are very expensive like the ones you see in Brookstone. There are only 4 sounds on this Sleep Sheep compared to something more expensive. There's a difference in that my son can hug and tamper with the buttons as much as he likes and I don't have to worry about him breaking it as opposed to something that's $150. He loves the thing and I'm sure it will be near his side as he grows even older. It's a sentimental stuff toy to him as opposed to a $150 dollar box.

 A life saver! - May 21, 2010

I purchased this item when our daughter moved from the bassinet to the crib. We were struggling to get her to sleep and were looking for something to help.

The first night that I used the sleep sheep, she fell asleep in 10 minutes. And since then, she has fallen asleep every night quickly with her sheep. This toy is a life saver for parents! I would have easily paid ten times the listed price.

The unit itself is very high quality. The sheep is soft and adorable. The music box has variable volume and a variety of sounds. The timer can be set for 23 of 45 minutes. I have been using the heartbeat for 45 minutes. I have not played with the other settings.

So far battery life is great. For almost the past two months, we have been using the sheep every night for 45 minutes at moderate volume and it is still going strong.

Great Product!

 Not as nice as I thought it would be - May 04, 2010

I was looking everywhere for a stuffed animal to put in the crib that mimicked a mother's heartbeat. This one does have that feature, however it does not sound true to a real heartbeat. The rain and ocean sounds are nice, the whale sounds are like something from a scary movie though. I will probably not use it as much as I would have liked. Also, the fuzz comes off very easily on the lamb. It would not survive being washed or even spot cleaned very many times. It does look cute in the crib though. I will still continue to look for a better one and will send this back if I can find a new one in time.

 should have bought this a year ago - May 02, 2010

We have an autistic grandson (30 months old)who spends most weekends with us. Bedtime was a nightmare until we got this sleep sheep! He would be so sleepy he could barely hold his eyes open but would scream if we put him in his bed. We tried everything: rocking him, milk in a bottle, rubbing his back and nothing would soothe him until he was allowed out of the bed. Ordered this and tried it out. He will still scream when you put him in the bed but as soon as he hears the raindrop sounds, he will be quiet and listen and in 5 minutes he is asleep. Best money we ever spent for him (and us).

 One of baby's earliest toys - May 02, 2010

I found this is a wonderful item to have for a new baby. There is not much that can provide comfort or sensory stimulation at such a young age. They are still developing their vision and are too young to play with toys. We used this with our daughter every day for the first two months of her life. It provided her comfort, especially the heartbeat sound. Now that she is three months old our use of it has tapered off a bit, but I bet when she gets big enough to hold dolls it will definitely be put back in heavy rotation.

The fleece is soft, the ivory color is pretty and neutral, and I found the velcro especially helpful. We had a very sparse and bare crib for safety, and velcroing the sleep sheep out of reach on the top of the bars, but still in view of baby, softened up an otherwise barren crib without any of the dangers associated with SIDS. The volume is easily controllable and the batteries last forever. We never had to change them once. Because it was one of her earliest toys, we have such fond memories of sleep sheep. Its a great item and would be a lovely gift for any baby.

 Sleep Sheep - Apr 26, 2010

The sleep sheep arrived as promised and in good condition. The sounds are not quite what I expected but the baby likes it so all is well.

 Wonderful! - Apr 26, 2010

I just bought this for my 6 month old who has been having some trouble going to sleep without noise and music wasn't cutting it. She's a little old for the heartbeat or whale noises, but I can see how those could be great for a newborn. The ocean sounds, however, soothe her right to sleep. I was FINALLY able to just put her in her crib fairly awake at bedtime and she's just so relaxed for about a minute before dozing off. I only gave it 4 stars because of the timer. I wish it could stay on longer. I would definitely recommend this to others!

 Works Like a Charm! - Apr 25, 2010

We use this just about every night. It has become part of the "routine" of bedtime. It works for naptime as well...I lay her down and turn on the sheep (I prefer the ocean sound, my husband really likes the whales) and it's as though she hears it and realizes it's time for sleep. 99% of the time she is asleep well before it runs through the 23 minute cycle. We do have the newer one with the 40-some minute option as well but haven't needed to run it that long. Since her bedroom is so close to ours, I have come to enjoy the sounds myself as I lay in bed at night! :) Maybe I need my own! I am all for any product that relieves some of the unpredictable sleep patterns and bedtime difficulties that come with every infant!

 great product, but it's huge! - Apr 24, 2010

we ended up exchanging this one for the travel size sleep sheep b/c this one is absolutely huge!!! it's literally the size of my 6 week old baby. the travel size is the perfect size for her now and when she grows. it has the same sounds as the bigger one and the same timers. the timers are for 25 minutes or 45 minutes and we've found that they work great. we use the shorter one for times when she's already mostly asleep and the longer one for times when she needs a bit longer to fall asleep. love, love, love the Cloud B on-the-go sleep sheep!

 Wrong Item Description - Apr 19, 2010

The Sleep Sheep I received was not what I expected. This one was for strollers and was smaller that the original one I purchased. The seller needs to be more specific in the description.

 Adorable Sleep Sheep - Apr 19, 2010

I got this for a friend's baby and was very pleased to see how lovely it is. It is a lot larger than I expected so I was happily surprised about that.

 great baby product! - Apr 11, 2010

have been looking for one of these lambs for a very long time,very quick shipping and a great price! this was a present for our little dog, she loves lambs and the baby sounds will be soothing for her! this is a birthday present for our little dog! thanks

 Fantastic! Buying My Third One - Mar 26, 2010

I bought the first one when my twin granddaughters were born. Bought the second when we put them in separate rooms. I'm buying the third one the newest addition to the family.

I'm a strong believer in environmental sounds as a aid to restful sleep and even purchased the Ecotones Duet Sleep Sound machine for considerably more than this toy. But the quality of sound and the volume range of the Cloud B Sheep is superb. My only complaint is that you can't choose to let it run for 8 hours.

 Amazing... Helped my baby sleep finally - Mar 21, 2010

The first time I used the Sleep Sheep my daughter took a 2 1/2 hour nap. We had been having so much trouble getting her to nap. She has three older siblings who make alot of noise and it seems to be the only thing that helps her. I would have purchased the Sleep Sheep when she was a newborn if I had known what a difference it would make in her sleep habits. And to top it off.. The Sleep Sheep is adorable and so inexpensive but amazingly well made. Every mom should have one!

 Recommended! - Mar 14, 2010

My son recieved one of these as a shower gift and we used it frequently, I just purchsed for a friend's expectant baby. The sheep is soft and attaches securely to the crib rails. The hearbeat is a little spooky, but all other sounds soothed our son.

 So Cute and Soft - Mar 05, 2010

The Sleep Sheep sounds haven't been baby tested yet, as this is a Baby Shower Gift. But it is just as cute as in the picture and oh so soft and cuddly.

 Baby won't sleep without it - Mar 02, 2010

Since birth, it seems that the only way he would fall asleep and stay asleep was if he was on either my or my husband's chest. So when we put him in his crib, we turn the Sleep Sheep on playing the heartbeat sound and my son falls asleep shortly afterwards. This product works great for us and I would recommend it to any friends.
