Bedtime Love with Spirited Toddlers

Every couple of months or so Damien will cycle through his bedtime habits and go through a phase where he needs some help falling back asleep in the middle of the night. Typically, when not in this phase, he does awesome. Then comes that dreaded night when he wakes up and comes crawling into mom and dads room and we regretfully neglect to get up and place him back in his bed. I'm not going to sugar coat it - I LOVE having both boys in bed cuddling - until night 3 when my sleep is lacking and I am fussing about how I need to start putting him back in his bed when he wakes up. This continues for a few weeks and then we sleep train him again. Man, what a vicious cycle this becomes.

Needless to say when I was offered to review a "Cloud b Glow Cuddles" through the resident mom program I was a little excited. Doo has had night time soothers before (night lights, glowing sea horses, teddies) but maybe this one will be different and much needed during this crazy month of no sleep we have been in.

For those who are unfamiliar with this cool new soothie (no worries since I was clueless prior to this) the "Glow Cuddles Bear" is a plush bear - or rabbit - whose belly glows when your little one hugs it. Pretty basic right?! Well this bear also has a soothing heartbeat and features which allow you to set timers and turn on and off the pulse. Also for those car riding babies the pulse features an option for car ride or for heartbeat!! Amazing, I know! since the prior soothies have not offered these wonderfully customizable features.

Pushing through the next few days sleep deprived and with a burning secret (I didn't tell him he was getting the bear) the package finally arrived. With much excitement Doo opened it and ripped right into the box, taking a small peek at the prize inside and then getting right to the bonding and loving session. FYI this bear with so many options is also extremely soft and huggable so props for getting it all right. For the next few days Doo loved the bear. Come to think of it I should have kept it as an "in bed" only toy to continue to get him to sleep in his bed.

All in all though I was impressed with this product and I would highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a soothing product for their little one.
