The Sleep Sheep-Four Soothing Sounds from Nature is a toy made by Cloud b . This soft, plush sheep is the perfect soothing bedtime toy, complete with four sounds that are very comforting to babies, including Spring Showers, Mother’s Heartbeat, Whale Songs, and Ocean Surf. There is a Velcro tab on the sheep’s back to secure him to a crib. The sound box has an ON/OFF switch, is removable, and has an automatic sleep timer that turns the sounds off after 23 or 45 minutes.
Pros:
- Sleep Sheep is soft and comforting, making it a perfect toy for a fussy child to snuggle up with.
- Sounds are repetitious, comforting and familiar, so it distracts babies from any other sounds going on in the house during nap time.
- The sounds time out after 23 or 45 minutes, allowing enough time for a baby to fall asleep, but not wasting large numbers of batteries from staying on all night.
- The controls are very user-friendly. It is easy to change between the four different sound types, as well as control the volume level or turn the sounds on or off.
- The Velcro allows for easy attachment to cribs, car seats, play pens, anything.
Cons:
- There is not a continuous play mode, only two settings for 23 and 45 minutes. This may not be ideal for babies that need constant sound while they are asleep to avoid waking up.
- The full-size toy is quite large, so it takes up a lot of room when traveling (12 inches tall). There is also an on-the-go size Sleep Sheep that may be a wiser choice for a travel buddy for your baby.
- Older children (over one year) may find it difficult not to play with the Velcro and buttons on the sound machine in the sheep. This could lead to lack of sleep for the children and potentially other family members as well, since the Velcro makes a fairly loud noise when played with repeatedly.
- The sound machine is not held in the back of the sheep very tightly and can potentially fall out, which may disrupt the sound, or cause other falling sounds, all of which have a potential to wake a baby.

I purchased the Sleep Sheep when my baby was two months old. He was having trouble soothing himself to sleep. I attached the sheep to the outside of his crib, and for the first time was able to put him to bed in his own room. I used the 45 minute setting, and that seemed to do the trick. I do have to admit that some of the sounds are a little strange, but my son calmed right down to the ocean sounds. The night that I put the sleep sheep in his crib was the first time I was able to sleep for a whole 4 hours continuously since he was born!
I really like everything about this toy. It is soft, cute, and most importantly, helps my baby sleep! I highly recommend this toy for tired parents who need a little sleep.
