Counting Sleep Sheep


Have you ever heard that if you find something you love to do, your life will become immensely improved? I believe that this piece of advice along with “you need 8 hours of sleep a night” to carry on in this world is the best advice I have ever been given.

After my first child, there was no such thing as 8 hours of sleep a night. My daughter did not like to sleep. She cried on her back and fussed on her front. She hated being upright and wasn’t too keen lying down either. We tried a baby swing, a pacifier, a night light, a special blanket, a pillow. I could go on. Nothing soothed her and she wouldn’t sleep. Until, one day a friend recommend Sleep Sheep.

When our Sleep Sheep (a sleep machine with 4 soothing sounds) arrived the next day, I can honestly say that our life changed for the better. Sleep Sheep was (and still is!) the perfect nighttime companion for my daughter. The little plush sheep has a sound box tucked safely inside that lulls you to sleep with four soft sounds – A Mother's Heartbeat, Spring Showers, Ocean Surf, and Whale Songs. Sleep Sheep’s soothing sounds are an audio pacifier that was able to calm my fussy little daughter and allow her to sleep. And you know that if she was sleeping, of course we were too. Using a Sleep Sheep is now number 3 on my list of the best advice ever given.

If you have a baby who isn’t sleeping, you need to try the Sleep Sheep. This way, everyone can have a good 8 hour sleep.
