Tomy Be Baby Starlight Dreamshow Yellow

A while a go I was sent a Tomy Be Baby Starlight Dreamshow Yellow to try. And although my first impressions were very mixed I decided to keep with it for a while longer..and on Sunday night I was so glad that we did!

Rio's cold progressed and moved on into a cough resulting in him projectile vomiting three times in the night!! He was beside himself, he hates being sick. He was inconsolable and as a spur of the moment last resort I fetched his "night light" into our room and pressed ON. Magic! Within two minutes he had gone from distraught to fast asleep! Me and my OH just looked at each other in awe..and then watched the projections on the ceiling in sheer fascination!

 

 Its so easy to use too. I cant even trick Rio into thinking the "batteries have run out" as he knows to use the switch at the side in correlation to the on/off one! I do however still stand by my original opinions. This product would definitely benefit from a volume button, as at night I find it too loud to be soothing! And that it is more suitable for use from a younger age, I can see little ones loving this, and being absolutely fascinated. (I've already seen this in a few nursery pictures here in the blog world).

Overall I think as far as value for moneys concerned, this ones a real winner! And will definitely be keeping it close to hand to pass on to our next one..if Rio lets me!

First impressions: Tomy Be Baby Starlight Dreamshow Yellow

In the baby world Tomy is a well known name! So when I received an email asking me if I would like to choose something from the Chemist Direct website I jumped at chance to try out the Tomy starlight. I've wanted something like this for so long and seems as though Rio slept through from 11 weeks I just never got around to it.

However he's recently started waking in the night again so ideally I would like to find something to help sooth him back off rather than him become dependant on a bottle and this seemed like the perfect thing. Yep I'm definitely  going to try and nip that one in the bud.

The Tomy Be Baby Starlight Dreamshow Yellow* is a dream show that projects little images onto your ceiling while soothing your baby to sleep. It has three different lullabies and can either be attached to the cot or used freestanding.

As Rio went into his toddler bed early (due to him being a little monkey and climbing out) we went for free standing.

My first impressions are that it is so easy to use. (even I didn't have to get the manual out on this one). I love that it has different time options so you can choose the length you want it to play, ideal if your baby is just stirring and you want to lull them back into a deep sleep. The projections are cute and vibrant without being too much..they grabbed Rio's attention straight away! And along with the lullabies they helped him realise it was bedtime, and he asked me for a "boc boc". Result!!

The only downside that I am aware of (other than it needing four batteries?) is that the music is quite loud so once the initial awe had worn off, it stimulated Rio rather than soothed him..and he proceeded to get out of bed and fetch it to me, showing off his 'new toy'.

I'm going to keep at it a while longer seems as though he associated it with bedtime straight away, and will let you know how I get on. I do love the concept so hopefully this will be the answer! I think if used from a younger age it would also have a better effect and create an additional relaxation and self settling element to a bedtime routine. We're currently trying for baby number two so you never know. I might just get to test that theory!
