My hummy or ollie the owl

[Newmum102]

So which one would you go for?

LO is 6 months old and used to be a good sleeper. Hit 4.5 months and well we now get up frequently. He's not always up to be fed, just comfort it seems. I go back to work in 8 weeks so I really want to get back to a sleep routine that doesn't involve waking up every hour. We have Euan and I hate how he lasts 20mins and I have to keep switching it on. We have tried using an app but it means I can't use my phone and again I have to turn it out.

We went for Ollie purely based on price for more or less the exact same reasons and timings as you. I dont regret it at all. The problems we were having with night time waking at that point cleared up straight away. He does seem to be mega sensitive though so is set off fairly regularly but i think that does help dd stay asleep.

We've got Ollie and it's just OK. I've not tried any other sleep aids though, other than white noise on my phone/tablet.

DS hates the lullaby, if that comes on he cries. The cry sensor is very sensitive until the batteries start to run down and then it stops working. You can only use the lullaby or static with the sensor which is a problem for us. The sound quality also becomes very poor. I thought it was just an issue with the one I bought so I sent it back and got a replacement and it was the same.

So right now we don't use Ollie all that often, mostly for naps in the day when we aren't at home. At night I have Alexa set up and just leave it playing a custom spotify playlist all night.
