This soother has allowed my son (who'll be two next week) to break the habit of waking to see me at night, and he now regularly sleeps through the night, whereas before it was all too rare! The toy itself is attractive and the music quality is good, but I can't use the light and movement settings at night as the light is so bright it disturbs my son even more. I'll let him have the lights on as he's going to sleep in the evening, but for me the most important function is the gentle music which turns itself off. In music-only mode, the music will play for 18 minutes, but with all the action and lights on, it goes off after six minutes. I'd held off buying such a prop for a long time, but now I'd recommend this toy (or maybe just gentle music!) to anyone whose child has problems sleeping.
