![]() ![]() With a multitude of designs, from the likes of William Morris prints to seaside patterns, the tricky bit is deciding which to purchase (we like the thought of mixing it up while the other is in the wash).ĭepending on the size of your baby, it should last until they’re around eight months old. With additional accessories, a mobile toy arch and hanging cheeky chums toy set (£32, ) it can also be converted into a play gym. Sleep aside, it’s a great place to practise tummy time, or a cosy place to change nappies in a pinch (don’t worry, the covers are easy to remove and are machine washable). We even successfully breastfed over the side of its thick padded walls in the hope of our baby nodding off. It’s perfectly lightweight – we regularly moved it around the house with its side handles, and took it away with us in its carry case. All words and opinions are my own.Formerly called the Sleepyhead, the Dockatot deluxe+ was the original baby nest and is still one of the most well known brands on the market today. Please note we were sent the product for the purpose of this review. ![]() Sleepyhead for baby full#Fingers crossed for a full night’s sleep soon. I’m intrigued to see how it will help him hopefully sleep even better over the coming months once we are completely through with the pain of teething. This could partly be down to the fact that feeding helps relieve the pain of teething and also that he’s so used to sleeping close to me. Even though it clearly provides great comfort and is well-designed he still crawls over into our bed during the night. He has also had some excellent daytime naps in the Sleepyhead Grand. With the clocks going forward recently that was another hurdle to overcome as parents of a toddler, but he seems to settle into a 7 o’clock bedtime routine again. ![]() He seems very comfortable and stays down for the evening which is amazing as it allows me time to work. Caspian still feeds to sleep and once he’s drifted off into the land of nod I move him into the Sleepyhead now placed in his bed, next to mine. The biggest change has been during the evenings. DOES THE SLEEPYHEAD GRAND WORK?Īs Caspian is still teething (will it ever end?!), poor baby, he has been more restless than normal, but I would still say that we’ve seen some very good results. You can order it online from their own website, John Lewis and Jo Jo Maman Bebe to name a few. The Sleepyhead Grand retails at £180 but will last you from 8 to 36 months. You definitely need that as you never know when your toddler has an accident (or decides to sneak chocolate into bed!).Ĭaspian has never settled in travel cots when we’ve been away, but I suspect that bringing the Sleepyhead Grand with us would help him do just that. Other great features include the anti-microbial properties, the fact you can take the cover off and it’s machine washable. It’s ideal for co-sleeping like we do, and it definitely makes your little one feel safer. It can be used in cots and junior beds and also works as a bed guard. ![]() The Sleepyhead Grand is despite its size (H10 x W60 x D102cm) lightweight and portable. Toddlers are fickle little creatures so you never know how they’ll react. I think the transition would have been easier had he been used to the smaller deluxe version as a baby, but I was pleased to see that he quickly settled there. He accepted it in his bed though might have seen it more as a fun toy than a sleep aid, to begin with. He also liked the look of the Sleepyhead and quickly picked up on the fact it was for him. It has provided hours of fun and it perfect for peek-a-boo, so that was an added bonus. To begin with, he was, I have to say, more excited about the giant cardboard box that the Sleepyhead arrived in. We were sent the Sleepyhead Grand in Pristine White, but it comes in a selection of pretty prints as well.Īrriving a couple of weeks ago we have had a good few nights to see how Caspian would settle and if it could help improve his nights (and ours, too). I was even more excited when we were offered to test one out. I was therefore very excited to find out that the Sleepyhead actually comes in a grand version and learn that this ingenious design, therefore, accommodates 8-36 months of age. He stirs easily and whenever we feel like we’ve finally settled into a good routine a cold, teething or the neighbour’s building work seem to disturb him and we are back to square one with lots of waking in the night. It’s also no secret that Caspian, now age 2, is not the best sleeper. I have heard endless good things about this little pod to help get your baby to settle and sleep well and I’m sure we could have used it in those early days. If there was one thing I wish I had invested in when Caspian was a newborn, it’s the Swedish designed Sleepyhead from Enfant Terrible. ![]()
