Sleepyhead grand

The sleepyhead grand is literally the best baby product by far that I have purchased. So Farah is now in a proper bedtime routine-she sleeps from 7pm through till 7.30/8am and wakes a few times in the night for feeds. Anyway, she would wake so many times at night in her cot and it wasn't till I stayed at my mums one night that I realised why she might be waking up so much. My mum bought a travel cot for Farah which is much smaller than her proper cot at home, and she slept pretty much through the night in her travel cot! It then clicked that maybe her usual cot is too big for her and is waking her up at night when she moves around as there's so much space. After much research-I came across the sleepyhead grand; a sleeping pod that goes into the cot. Its kind of like padding out the cot but in a really safe way-instead of using bedding and sheets and bumpers to cocoon the baby, the pod just fits nicely into the cot and that's it! Ready to go!

The real proof was obviously after the first night's sleep, and I can say hands down that the sleepyhead has made a massive difference! I've had it now for about 2 months and it has been amazing. Farah snuggles up the side of it and gets really comfy and cosy.

There are two downsides however; first, if you are travelling WITHOUT the sleepyhead after using the sleepyhead for a while you have had it. Now when I go to my mums to stay and I don't take the sleepyhead I have a really bad nights sleep, as Farah is just so used to it. The sleepyhead is big and therefore not great to transport, so be warned!

Second, it doesnt come cheap! £150 from John Lewis, but OMG the best £150 spent! I suppose the upside to the downside is that the sleepyhead grand should last until 36 months, so really get your moneys worth!

The sleepyhead deluxe is the smaller version suitable until 8 months-I never bought this but really wish I did!!

Good luck to all those mommas out there trying to get their babies to sleep at night-I would really recommend the sleepyhead if you're having sleep issues!!
