Has anyone seen these? We were given one as a shower gift when Alex was born. I didn't think much of it, but as it turns out, it was the best thing ever! We would turn it on as he went down and he would pass out asleep in moments. Then, when he had to be in the hospital later on, it was a lifesaver in keeping him calm and letting him sleep.

I, too, got one of these for a shower present with my first son. The thing always made me laugh because it sounded to me like some heavy breathing prank phone call.

When he was little, he slept in a basinette and we tied the bear to the outside and switched it on. It was cute to watch. his eyes would get all big and round and he would try to look for the sound. But within minutes he would calm down and get to sleep.

I saw these but did not want to spend the money. However, my husband went out and bought something and I have no idea what he paid for it.

It has music, birds, and heartbeat that you can play and it shuts off after a while. You can also set it to go off if the baby cries. It also has volume control and a night light.

It is great!

I used this with my eldest when she was an infant and fussing. She seemed to really like it. With my current baby, she is so mellow there was no need for something like that.

They had nothing like this when my son was little - this would have been a definate on my shower wish list! Sounds awesome.

I also got this as a shower gift and we love it. Our daughter, who's 14 1/2 months old, still loves to go to sleep with "bear". Bear stays in her crib all day and whenever we go in her room, she puts her finger to her lips and says shhh, because she knows bears sleeping. It's the cutest thing!

Ok so what is it actually called again. It sounds like a must on a list of needs for your baby. :-)
