Order before 16:00 on working days and we ship the same day!
For nine months your baby heard sound without a break: your heartbeat, your circulation, your voice, the rush of your body. And then they are laid down in a quiet room. That difference is bigger than we tend to realise, and it is exactly why a soft toy that imitates the sound can help a baby settle.
Order before 4 pm on a working day and your order ships the same day.
These three get used interchangeably, and the difference is worth knowing because it decides what you buy.
The sleep companions from Moonie carry all three: five natural sounds (womb sound, wind, a forest stream, rain and sea waves) plus three lullabies, among them Debussy's Clair de Lune. Start with the womb sound in the first months and move to rain or waves once you notice your child is mainly being woken by noise in the house.
For one child yes, for another barely. What a steady sound does is mask sudden noises: the door that slams, the dog that barks, the brother who goes to bed later. That is where the gain is: not in the sound itself, but in what it drowns out.
It is no substitute for a settled routine, a dark room and a calm evening; those do at least as much. But for light sleepers, and in a house with a lot of noise, it genuinely helps.
Our own sleep specialist DouΓ―na, childcare professional and sleep coach at Kideo Kinderdagverblijven, has written about it several times (in Dutch):
The four sleep companions are identical in technology; the difference is the shape and the colours.
Without the electronics, as a small gift or an addition, there are the Mini soft toy with sensory beads in its tummy, the small sensory teddy of 19 cm and the natural rubber teethers.
This matters, because the electronics are built into the toy. The sleep companions with a module cannot go in the washing machine, you wipe them clean with a damp cloth. Only the Mini soft toy, which has no electronics, is machine washable. Always check the label on the product itself.
Two things we always mention. The common guidance is to keep a baby's cot empty, so put the toy beside the bed or on the outside of the playpen rather than in it. Sound and light work just as well from there. For the point at which something may go in the cot, follow the advice of your child health clinic or doctor; that is the source to go by.
And keep the volume low. A background sound should be quieter than normal conversation and leave room for your voice to be heard. Do not place the device right beside your baby's head either.
What we see in practice is that the gain often is not in the sound itself. After a while the sound becomes a signal, this is the moment to go to sleep, and that is where the difference is made. A sleep companion is no magic fix, but it is a good part of a settled evening routine.
Have a look at our other soft toys as well, the comforters for the very smallest, and the heat pack soft toys for tummy ache and cold nights.
Moonie states: suitable from birth. Do keep a baby's cot empty and put the toy beside it rather than in it. When in doubt, follow the advice of your child health clinic or doctor.
Not in the strict sense. They have five natural sounds, womb sound, wind, a forest stream, rain and sea waves, which sit closer to pink noise: the same steadiness, but without the sharp high tones of true white noise.
Quieter than normal conversation, and do not place the device right beside your baby's head.
Advice differs on this. You can set the timer to 30, 60 or 90 minutes, or let the sound play continuously. Many parents use the timer for falling asleep; others let it run because their child wakes when it stops. Choose what works for you and keep the volume low.
They may, and that is no bad thing, it becomes a sleep signal. If you want to phase it out, do so gradually by turning the volume down a little every few days.
No. The sleep companions with a module are wiped clean with a damp cloth. The Mini soft toy, which has no electronics, is machine washable.
No, the module charges over USB-C and the cable is included.
Then something else is usually going on: a room that is too light, an irregular rhythm, hunger or a growth spurt. A sleep companion is an aid, not a solution to everything. If you cannot work it out, discuss it with your child health clinic or doctor.

Onze 3 kindjes slapen na bijna 3 en bijna 5 jaar nog steeds met de 1.0 versie van deze beer, nu hebben we deze 2.0 kado gegeven aan vrienden en die stuurden βs avonds meteen een foto van hun heerlijk slapende kindje. Zoβn aanrader! Batterij gaat lang mee, als je kindje huilt gaat ie weer aan en de beer is schattig en zacht. Opladen gaat ook snel.
