Product Description
Product Description
Designed by a doctor and used successfully in maternity wards for over 30 years, the Prince Lionheart Slumber Bear Plus has helped millions of newborns (and their parents) get a good night's sleep. The Slumber Bear Plus features a multi-function sound box playing womb sounds, lullabies, ocean waves and white noise. There is also a recordable feature allowing you to save your own unique message for baby. Comforting sounds lull baby to sleep in minutes and sound and motion sensors reactivate the recording when your baby cries or jostles the bear. The velcro strap allows you to secure the removable sound box to cot rails or pushchairs. The Prince Lionheart Slumber Bear Plus requires four AAA batteries (not supplied).
Each Slumber Bear Plus arrives with its own silkie. Parents can bond with baby by keeping silkie close to their skin, transferring their scent to the blanket. The scent then comforts and reassures baby when parents are out of reach and the soft, smooth texture provides beneficial tactile stimulation.
MESSAGE FROM THE MANUFACTURER It has been brought to our attention that some consumers have been experiencing problems with the soundbox unit sold with our Slumber Bears. This matter was investigated last year and the fault was found to be the result of incompatibilities with some brand of batteries used. Duracell was identified to be the main problematic brand of batteries. Prince Lionheart has now made a slight design change to mitigate this problem and all future soundbox units received will be free from this problem and we would expect returns level to return to their low levels of c1% going forward. We apologise for the inconvenience caused to you and your customers. Of those customers who encounter a problem with their soundbox, many are able to resolve the problem immediately by changing the battery brand. In the rare instance where this is not successful, Prince Lionheart stands behind its products and replaces the soundbox as a service to our customer. Prince Lionheart (UK) Ltd is committed to ensuring that all our products meet the highest standard and level of quality, and diligently investigate all concerns that our customers have. We thank you for bringing this matter to our attention; we will continue to monitor the performance of this product, of which millions have been sold worldwide.Box Contains

This product is amazing.
We had an eight week old baby who wasn't sleeping and thought, what the hell, we will try anything! Within a few nights we could see her settle. She ended up having a stay in hospital at 10 weeks old and this helped to settle her in the different environment. We have the unit taken out of the bear as there is not enough room in the moses basket, but when she goes in to her cot, plan to put it back into the bear. At 15 weeks now, she goes into her moses basket awake and drifts off to sleep to the noise of the fetal sound. fantastic and would recommend to anyone

I bought this as a last resort to our lack of sleep and it works a treat. Our 7 week old loves white noise to help settle her. We were just playing it on a portable radio but the problem was switching it off. We started using a dummy but then she got dummy dependant and was only fine so long as it was in her mouth. Now we have a slumber bear I put the unit next to her in the cot and when she makes a noise it triggers automatically and then stays on for 5 minutes. It has definitely reduced the need for the dummy and is better than having the radio on all night. She actually seems to prefer the womb noise to the white noise. I also use the lullaby setting while I am changing her nappy and sing a long to it and it always makes her smile.
In summary - I would definitely advise a slumber bear. I now get to sleep for 7 hours at night without getting up to put the dummy back in every hour.

Firstly I should state that this has been absolutely instrumental in getting my baby to sleep in her own bed and I would recommend it to anyone who's baby has trouble self soothing. However it could have been so much better with a bit more thought.
Don't waste your money on the "plus" option, I'd planned to record my hairdryer if all the other sounds failed but it only lets you record 20 seconds to be played when it first triggers before it reverts to the womb noises. The teddy and comforter are also a waste of money and clearly just a marketing ploy, the teddy can't go in the crib with a newborn and so is entirely decorative and actually reduces the machine's sensitivity to noise and movement so it doesn't work as well as just the box on its own. The box itself is somewhat erratic about when it will trigger, going off at a slight twitch and then completely failing to start when there's loud cries and limbs flailimg all over the place. It also doesn't run for long enough, 5 minutes isn't enough to ensure my baby's properly asleep so she often wakes up again the moment it finishes.
I still wouldn't be without it, I just wish the manufacturer had prioritized functionality over cuteness. I'd say at best it deals with about half of my baby's wakings but the rest of the time it just doesn't trigger quick enough or run for long enough. If I could find a better machine to transfer the womb recording onto I think it could be amazing.
