Ewan the dream sheep question!

I didn't think to do that! Thanks for the tip!

So as far as working in the middle of the night..Bear wants his bottle before he'll fall asleep so as long as I give him one he falls asleep within half hour with Ewan on which is better than 2hours.. it's a start (: xx

He should start turning Ewan on himself. Show him where the buttons are ??

I don't blame you get as much rest as possible! Xx

Yeah it really does make you feel worse! Most weekends Bear goes out with his daddy and his family and I've been staying at home to sleep lol xx

Yeah I know how you feel, but don't feel bad for crying everyone needs a good cry to feel normal again plus It dosent help with being tired and hormonal makes you feel 100 times worse xx

Bear was waking up loads before our new health visitor have gave us some tips to get him to fall asleep in his cot.. I was constaly tired and it was doing my head in lol the longest Bear has ever slept was 6hours and that's only happened twice and he'll be 1 next Monday? I ended up crying to the health visitor when she asked how his sleeping was(probably hormones aswell lol) I feel better knowing we can get Bear to fall asleep in his cot now..just need to sort out the middle of the night issues which hopefully we can do before Kasen arrives(it would be nice to get a full night sleep cuz I havent had one since early pregnancy with Bear!xx

Awww really hope it works for you and bear! I know the feeling of being heavily pregnant and hardly no sleep my son just turned 1 on Tuesday and my god he can wake up anywhere between 3-4 times a night but luckily goes back off within 30 mins xx

So Ewan kind of worked! When he woke up I turned Ewan on and it took half hour but he fell asleep(I pressed Ewans leg before leaving Bears room and got into my bed and as soon as Ewan stopped Bear woke up so I changed his nappy and gave him a bottle and put him back in his cot and it took maybe half hour again for him to fall asleep so a massive improvement on 2hours lol... maybe he just needs to get used to him... so far so good tho!xx

Hopefully he will work for you during the night . They are great and have worked for me before . Nobody's here to judge you , you've got to do what's best for you and your son x

Mini update: no judging me please I feel bad enough as it is but the last couple of weeks we've been doing gentle sleep training to try and get Bear to fall asleep in his cot cuz since newborn he's never fallen asleep in there from being awake, every night we've done it there's been tears from Bear and me, and tonight my oh led Bear in his cot after his bottle, turned Ewan on and not one single tear! My oh waiting in his room with him for a few minutes and said when he came out Bear was just staring at Ewan! The real test will be in the middle of the night where recently it's been taking me upto 2hours to get him back to sleep (last night it happened twice and the 2nd time I gave up and put him in our bed) I will update again tomorrow!xx

Thanks for the comments ladies! I've got cheap batteries just to see if it works with Bear and if it does I'll get rechargeable batteries xx

Thanks and apparently batteries from Lidl are as good as Duracell if not better they were tested on that shops well for less on bbc1 and came top! £1.25 for 4 pack x

AAA x

I'm getting one for new baby.. what batteries does he take? AA or AAA?

Must get the Duracell rechargeables! We bought the rechargeables from screwfix......do NOT bother with them ?

I second Chelsea's battery comment! When we were using regular cheap batteries we were getting through a set a week so ended up investing in Duracell rechargeable and charged (cheap on eBay) so when he runs out we just charge batteries through the day and he is good to go again at night!

My 2 yo still has his and loves it. He did gave it from birth. It might work. When his laying down and going to sleep just stick it close to his head. I red glow helps send my boy off. I've also got one for my 8 week old. His a great sleeper.

Worth a try it works wonders for my little one

Each of his legs have a button and each plays a sound..my lg likes the rain or heartbeat it lasts 20 minutes so press his paw leg every time you have to check on baby so it lasts longer lol it's tummy glows red so it's meant to be mimicking being in the womb it makes me sleepy ? it drains batteries so make sure you stock up!its a good buy!x

On the website it says it plays 4 different noises (heartbeat+ rain,womb, Hoover and harp music) and it's got a pink glow light on it

That's the website I was looking at xx

Oh let me know Hun we are thinking of getting one x what do they exactly do?

Here's hoping it works then!! I will update when we've used it (: thankyou for replying ladies!xx

Joseph is 3 in May and he's on his 3rd ewan. They are great! The batteries ran out the other night and after 30 mins of him messing around in bed as soon as I changed the batteries and turned him on Joseph was asleep within 5 mins.

I would say it's definitely worth a shot! My lb is 7 months and we have just stayed using Ewan in the last few weeks with huge success. He usually feeds to sleep and I wanted to try and get him used to self settling so now we have Ewan I put him in his cot awake but sleepy and stick Ewan on and he's usually asleep within 5 minutes!

Works for Harri, I bought another one for him a month or so ago as his other broke and it was a while before I got him a new one, it's been a godsend, he loves it and really helps him sleep xx

I'd try deffo!if it doesn't work use with the new baby!i put it on for Paisley and she goes down a dream straight from 4 weeks I used it since birth to make her get used to it x

DD still uses hers at 15 months. You may find it works it may not but for £10 bargain and worth trying xx
