If you have read my post about Tabitha and her sleep woes (post here), you'll know all about how Tabitha doesn't really sleep and that she still wakes up very frequently during the night. I have to say I was sceptical if myHummy would really work for us because Tabitha has had a sleepaid since being a baby and it really didn't help with the constant waking up, but I have to say I have been pleasantly surprised!
What is myHummy Sleepaid Bear?
Mia, our Smartheart bear, is one of six out of the new range of myHummy sleepaid bear which uses pink and white noise to help settle and soothe babies and toddlers. What makes this range exciting, is that the new humming heart connects via bluetooth to an app on your smartphone - meaning it is all controllable on your phone. There are 5 different white and pink noise sounds that can be selected to help soothe your child, I have found the vacuum sounds works the best for Tabitha. On the app you select your sound, the volume of the sound and the length of time it will play for.
The features don't end there, there are several exciting settings that you can have a play with to see which works best for you and your child. There is constant play or the option of sleep sensor. We use 12 hours of none stop sound, however if you don't feel like your child needs the constant sound you could have it set so it fades out after 60 minutes and the sleep sensor will switch the sound back on when the child becomes unsettled.
The bear itself is beautiful and attractive to the eye and the material used is a lovely soft fleece like fabric, which you can machine wash (when you remove the humming heart) to keep it looking fresh. There is a zip on the back of the bear to insert or remove the humming heart and if you didn't want to take the whole bear with you everytime you go out it also comes with a humming heart pouch. The heart pouch is in the same material as the bear and can be used for travel and can be attached to a pushchair/carseat with the multiuse teether clip for safe keeping. The teether can also be attached to Mia, meaning that you can take her out with you without worrying about losing her.
Tabitha's reactions to Mia
I have to say I was worried Tabitha may have been a little bit too old (20 months) to really benefit from Mia, but I'm so glad that was unfounded. As soon as Mia was out of the box Tabitha was repeatedly saying bear, she grabbed her and gave her a big cuddle and that was when I knew they'd be great friends. Tabitha has become attached to Mia so quickly and we take her everywhere with us, she especially loves laying her head on her. In terms of sleep I have to say it has really improved things for us, I'm not saying she's suddenly sleeping 12 hours a night - because she isn't, haha - but she is sleeping for longer periods of time and settling a lot quicker the majority of the time during the night. Before Mia we was lucky to have 1 hour of uninterrupted sleep, but we are now getting on average 4-5 hours before I need to feed her and on the third night with Mia she actually slept for 6 and a half solid hours, I was flabbergasted. And to really top things off nap time has improved as well! Tabitha has only had one nap a day for nearly a year now and that nap only lasts 40 minutes, it's like a speed nap, and when she naps with Mia she is napping 2hours +!
Mummy's Reaction to Mia
Having a child who doesn't sleep is so difficult, I really struggle with sleep deprivation and it has such a massive effect my day to day life. Since having Mia I am getting more free time away from Tabitha and it has been such a god send. I, myself, am getting more uninterrupted sleep and I'm benefiting greatly from it. I am more energised than I have been in over a year, and I'm motivated to do more with my day. Before Mia it was taking hours to get Tabitha to sleep and if I moved she'd wake up so now I am so excited to start having more free time in the evenings and to enjoy my evenings with Jamie again. Mia is definitely helping mummy as much as Tabitha.
