Wonderful idea…but imperfectly executed,
This item is a WONDERFUL idea, and the on-the-go model is the perfect size for home (I don’t know who would need the size of the original, larger sleep sheep – it’s enormous) and travel, but it has two key flaws:
1) there isn’t a continuous play mode!! There are only two timed options, then the sound turns off. My newborn needed the sound maintained continuously to STAY asleep, not just to FALL asleep. Thus, we would have to keep pressing the button over and over, waking up ourselves when the sound would turn off to keep her from waking up – beyond annoying.
2) the travel (“on-the-go”) model does not have the heartbeat sound like the full size model does – why? Otherwise, the sounds are the same as the full size model (waves, rain and whales). As the heartbeat is a KEY sound to have for a newborn, why on earth would THAT be the sound they substituted out on the travel model for a redundant “gentle stream” sound (could it be to get you to buy both sizes?!?)?
I gave it two stars because everything else is so wonderful and it has so much potential to be a fabulous product:
–the sheep is adorable, soft, and it is great to be able to hang it from ANYWHERE with the velcro loop. Plus, it is battery operated, which is a huge blessing (batteries are pre-installed, and are very long lasting – we did not replace ours over three+ months of use).
–the way the sound “machine” is removable from the body of the sheep is ingenious. This way, you can wash the sheep and reinsert the machine when dry.
–LOVE the volume control: it’s a dial, so you have complete control (not just low and high like so many children’s products today).
–The rain sound is the closest to generic “white noise.”
This product would be perfect with the 1) heartbeat sound in lieu of the ‘gentle stream’, which is redundant to the rain, imo, and 2)a continuous play mode.
Due to this, you are better off with Brookstones sound machine, which has not only timed settings, but continuous play, AND all the sounds you really need: heartbeat, in-utero (weird sloshing sound with “glub-glubs”), white noise, automobile and more. It’s not cute and plush (and you have to plug it in w/ battery backup), but is WORKS.

|Essential for a “happiest baby”,
For any parent who is raising a baby using gentle Happiest Baby on the Block soothing methods this “Sleepy Sheep” is a lifesaver. Babies really do respond to swaddling, being on their sides or stomachs, jiggling and “shush-ing” noise. We have used all of the white noises on this sheep and they all work to various degrees. We found the ocean sound to be closest to a parent “shssssh/shush” with breaths in between. Rather than shssssssh your lips off till your throat is bone dry, this Sheep does lots of the work for you and can be adjusted in volume for any ambient noise. Great item and did wonders for our little one’s “4th trimester” She switches off like a light now when she recognizes the preparation and sheep sounds! Every new parent with a fussy baby should have this as a tool along with the Happiest Baby DVD!!! Great Item.

|Works great!,
I got this because the “Happiest Baby on the Block” method, which includes using white noise, has worked very well with our son. I wanted something that was easy to turn on and off that could be kept by the crib. He loves his sleep sheep! He has even figured out how to turn the sounds on himself. It has 2 timer settings and four sounds. It is also very soft. I would definitely recommend it.
