After BB was born it took us a few weeks to realise how vital white noise was. I always knew it was something parents used to soothe their babies, but it never crossed my mind to try it. Boy do I wish I used it with Lamb…
One random evening when BB was proving quite difficult to settle in his crib, I searched for white noise on youtube and began playing it on my phone. Within seconds he was hooked on the sound and slowly falling asleep. It was honestly like he was drugged or hypnotised! Since that night I’ve used white noise on a daily basis. It’s got me through fussy evenings, long car journeys (we all know how much BB hates the car) and sleepless nights.
It’s safe to say I’m indebted to white noise.
If you haven’t heard of Ewan The Dream Sheep and you have a new baby then you need to read on.
Award winning Ewan is a favourite with parents for helping their little ones relax and settle at night. Available in purple or grey (of course I have grey), the dream sheep emits 4 different sounds and and has a calming pink glow to help soothe baby.
What I find fascinating is the sounds from Ewan are actual heartbeat and womb recordings so you know what baby is hearing is the real deal and extremely familiar!
The 4 sounds are all mixed with a recording of a heartbeat, meaning no matter which one you play, it will have some sort of familiarity to your baby.
At the moment we only use the sounds and have switched the light off. This is my personal preference as I don’t want the light to distract BB when he’s nodding off (something I’ve noticed happen when I’ve put a night light on).
Using his velcro tail, Ewan can be fastened to a cot bar, car seat or pram, ensuring he stays safe and by baby’s side. His tail can also be used to attach a dummy or teething ring.
One tip is to play Ewan from day 1, even in the hospital. That way baby gets used to the comforting sound straight away.
We take Ewan everywhere. Literally. I panic if I don’t have him.
As well as Ewan the Dream Sheep, we also have the Ewan Snuggly. A comforter version of Ewan. In all honesty BB fell in love with his Snuggly straight away. His face lights up when I give it to him.
Like Ewan, the snuggly has a velcro tail meaning he can be tied to the pram or attached to a dummy, so nothing gets lost. We all know how easy it is to lose things, especially baby stuff.
What’s great about the Ewan products is the fabric. They are seriously soft and cuddly, and can even absorb a parents scent to offer extra reassurance.
To prove to you how much Ewan is loved by families I’ve asked a few of my blogging buddies to tell me why they love Ewan.
“I ❤️ Ewan. We had one with our first baby and couldn’t have lived without it. We had to buy a second one for baby two as it was still very much in use! I loved the lullaby too 🙂 ” – 2 Boys 1 Mum
“It literally changed our lives! We had a baby that wouldn’t sleep anywhere but on us and my sister bought us Ewan in the hope that he’d fix that. And he did! Zach suddenly started sleeping better and Ewan became his (and our) best friend. He still has him 4 years later although some of his legs no longer work! We just bought a brand new one for our newborn (who typically loves sleeping!)” – Mumma Scribbles
“Ewan has the ability to bring calm in the midst of a storm. From being a newborn at our bedside to an independent toddler Ewan has helped us through some rough times. He has the ability to relax stressed Mama’s too! He’s also easy to travel with which I love.” – LeeLee Loves
“We have Russel the sheep dog as we were late total the party. My son loved him and it helped him calm down at night and settle quicker.” – Mum To A Monster
“We absolutely loved Ewan when Rowan was a little smaller. We purchased Ewan after a few weeks of Rowan not wanting to go to sleep in his cot. As soon as we introduced Ewan he calmed down so much and found him so relaxing, I did too actually. He’s currently sat on a shelf waiting to be used again next year with a cuddle now and again from Rowan during the day “ – Mummy Lala
The Ewan bundle is definitely a favourite in our house. It’s now on my list of must haves for new Mums and when a friend or family member has a baby I will certainly recommend it or even buy as their new baby gift.
