You can also set it at a lower sound volume, which is nice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/soother-for-motnearly-wakeups#post-1772806 Mon, 21 Jul 2014 18:49:31 +0000 MrsH 1772806@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The A&amp;A security blanket is what we use.

My daycare lady suggested we get one of these and I hadn't yet but it looks like I need to get on it lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/soother-for-motnearly-wakeups#post-1772238 Mon, 21 Jul 2014 14:28:28 +0000 blackbird 1772238@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just have the rainforest one (i bought it used at a garage sale for $15--people are ALWAYS selling them!) and E is 16 months and STILL loves that damn thing. She would turn it on in the middle of the night and listen to the music. And then keep turning it on when it would turn off. And then eventually she would fall asleep. We have a soother and a NICU approved mirror in her crib and both really make her happy without necessarily distracting her from bedtime. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/soother-for-motnearly-wakeups#post-1772189 Mon, 21 Jul 2014 14:08:01 +0000 raintreebee 1772189@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a baby einstein soother that comes with a remote and is on longer than five minutes. I use it to calm him down before naps, but maybe I should turn it on in the MOTN!</p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Baby-Einstein-Sea-Dreams-Soother/dp/B006YBHE6M" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Baby-Einstein-Sea-Dreams-Soother/dp/B006YBHE6M</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/soother-for-motnearly-wakeups#post-1772178 Mon, 21 Jul 2014 14:05:02 +0000 ShootingStar 1772178@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pirouette: That one didn't come with a remote :(. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/soother-for-motnearly-wakeups#post-1772165 Mon, 21 Jul 2014 13:58:51 +0000 Pirouette 1772165@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ShootingStar: thanks! does it come with a remote to turn it back on? i can't tell from the reviews. it looks great, but 5 min is definitely not long enough!</p> <p>@bushelandapeck: ANYTHING that helps with MOTN wakings sounds amazing haha. thanks :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/soother-for-motnearly-wakeups#post-1772120 Mon, 21 Jul 2014 13:46:11 +0000 bushelandapeck 1772120@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have one like this but with ocean creatures. DS is 23 months and still turns it on before he falls asleep and when he wakes up. I think it really helped with the MOTN wakings...</p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Fisher-Price-Rainforest-Peek-a-Boo-Soother-Waterfall/dp/B00AQAI2KE/ref=pd_sim_sbs_misc_2?ie=UTF8&#038;refRID=1ZTVYXZD5A11M434GT14" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Fisher-Price-Rainforest-Peek-a-Boo-Soother-Waterfall/dp/B00AQAI2KE/ref=pd_sim_sbs_misc_2?ie=UTF8&#038;refRID=1ZTVYXZD5A11M434GT14</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/soother-for-motnearly-wakeups#post-1772052 Mon, 21 Jul 2014 13:23:16 +0000 ShootingStar 1772052@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have one of those soothers that attaches to the side of the crib. DS likes to look at it, but my biggest complaint is that when you do the motion + sound, it only lasts for 5 minutes. I think this is the one we have - <a href="http://www.buybuybaby.com/store/product/fisher-price-reg-rain-forest-trade-waterfall-peek-a-boo-soother-trade/1015138378?Keyword=crib+soother" rel="nofollow">http://www.buybuybaby.com/store/product/fisher-price-reg-rain-forest-trade-waterfall-peek-a-boo-soother-trade/1015138378?Keyword=crib+soother</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/soother-for-motnearly-wakeups#post-1771924 Mon, 21 Jul 2014 12:55:17 +0000 Pirouette 1771924@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we're about to get rid of our mobile - LO woke up for the day this morning by standing up in the crib, holding onto the mobile base with one hand and using the other hand to grab at the animals while babbling to them. all very cute, except she's 7 months old and doesn't have great balance so we had to run in and save her before she face planted into the crib bars. she was grinning from ear to ear all proud of herself, but obviously this could be dangerous.</p> <p>twice in the past week, she has been wide awake in the middle of the night (she'd never ever done this before so i'm hoping this is a short phase). I was looking at the soothers you can attach to the crib, and thought that might be good to lull her back to sleep, but also "fun" enough for when she wakes up before i want to wake up, so she has someone to babble to haha. </p> <p>SO, does anyone have one they recommend? obviously i want one that can be set to very soft setting (or becomes softer as it goes). Or if you have any other type of crib toy you recommend, i'm all ears! </p>
