Fisher-Price has a great way to help babies sleep!



When we adopted our second daughter this past May, we slept very little in China and for the first few nights after we arrived home. Our pediatrician recommended that we keep her up all day so that she would be completely exhausted at night and give her dye-free Benadryl mixed with a tiny amount of Melatonin for a week. I did this and put a CD player in her room with soft music. It worked like a charm. Within a week, she was sleeping peacefully throughout the night without the Benadryl. About a week later, I picked up the Fisher Price Peekaboo Waterfall Soother for her crib. She loved it! We use it now in place of the CD player. It is relatively compact and clips onto a crib nicely. The device plays continious, soothing music for up to 18 minutes and shows a monkey swinging slowly back and forth. Another nice feature of this product is that your little one can turn it on and off all by herself. After her naps each day, I can tell when she is awake because I hear her turning on the soother. Thanks Fisher Price for creating such a helpful product.
