Slumber Bear

A friend of mine used a CD of the mothers womb sounds. Has anyone used one of those bears that makes the womb sounds do they work and how did you start using it.

Hi just wanted to let you know that my mil gave us one of these when our daughter was born. (She said her nieces have used them and swear by them).

I've put it in the bassinette with my daughter (above her head) and switch it on sometimes when I'm settling her for sleep.

However, to be quite honest, I don't think she settles any better or any worse with it. When she's particularly hard to settle, I try everything and the best thing is me singing and cuddling her - the bear doesn't seem to settle her any better, and when she's not being particularly hard to settle, she'll settle regardless of the bear being on. (I actually find a bear stuffed with wheat which we heat in the microwave - like a heat pack, placed on her belly works better than the slumber bear and was cheaper. This is probably as when she's really tricky to settle it's usually because she's got wind and the wheat bear flops over her tummy, which is more soothing than a sound).
