Improve Your Baby’s Sleep
These days, many fantastic products are available that help promote deeper and more peaceful sleep for newborns, babies, and toddlers. This benefits not only little ones, but parents as well. A well-rested baby makes for a happier baby when they’re awake.
These products include white noise machines, blackout blinds, comforter dolls with dummies, night lights, baby monitors, and more.
Products to Help Babies and Toddlers Sleep
Everyone needs a little bit of help falling asleep from time to time, and this is particularly true for young babies who are still new to the various disturbances that can impact a good rest.
Things that fail to stir adults from their slumber are the very same things that could disrupt a baby’s sleep for hours.
Some fantastic products for better sleep among babies and toddlers include:
Sleepytot Portable White Noise Machine
Much in the same way white noise can help adults fall asleep, it’s also a great option for helping your young ones get more shut-eye.
Featuring 24 different sounds and night light functionality, the Sleepytot Portable White Noise Machine can be an absolute godsend for parents.
White noise machines are particularly beneficial for families that live in busier areas (city suburbs, main roads, etc.) to create a buffer between the noise outside and the peaceful setting they want to create for their child.
Baby Shusher
The baby shusher is exactly what the name suggests: it’s a device that can gently shush your baby, which helps break their crying spell. Gentle shushing can be an effective way of calming tired or upset babies and encouraging them to rest.
Easyblinds - Easynight Blackout Blind Home Kit
Darkness helps trigger the release of sleep hormones like melatonin, and the same process applies even to the youngest of babies.
If you find your baby struggles to fall asleep, especially during daytime naps, a set of blackout blinds can make a huge difference.
Sleepytot Comforters
The Sleepytot Comforter helps your babies sleep more independently by ensuring they can’t kick away their dummies, teethers, or other necessary soothers.
The comforters are soft and depict adorable animals, including sloths, bunnies, puppies, unicorns, cows, and more. Their paws are velcroed, allowing them to securely hold on to dummies and soothers.
When your baby wakes up and needs their dummy, the Sleepytot Comforter helps them learn self-soothing by always having a dummy or soother on hand as needed.
Sleepytot Comforters are suitable for babies from around 7 months of age and older, but remember that each child is different. Two key milestones to look out for before introducing a comforter are:
- Your little one no longer needs to be swaddled
- They’re able to roll around the cot and move things to and from their face.

Lulla Doll Generation 3
The Lulla Doll is a highly regarded sleep aid that has helped parents around the world improve their young ones’ sleep.
The doll is pleasantly soft to the touch for young children and plays real-life sounds of heartbeats and breathing. This is intended to imitate the comforting sounds children hear when resting with their mum or dad.
These sounds, matched with the doll’s comforting softness, have been shown to help younger kids calm down more easily. It also helps them sleep longer and settle more quickly in the event they wake up early.
The Lulla Doll comes with safety straps that allow you to tie it to a basisinette or cot for safety until your little one is ready to cuddle it unsupervised.
It’s recommended that you keep the doll tied to the outside of the cot or placed on a dresser in the room for the first 12 months. Once your little one is 12 months or older, you can place the Lulla Doll directly in the cot so they can cuddle it.
