My hummy or v tech v hush pro?

Just as the title says really. I am due shortly and wondering which to buy to help with sleep. First DC had Ewan the dream sheep but I thought maybe something that responded to the baby waking might be better and found the fancy looking v hush pro, but then my hummy lily is cute. Anyone tried them?

Thanks

Never tried them. We did alexa all night when we discovered pink noise around 4 months to help sleep regression and then due to rubbish Internet we brought the track and play through a speaker on an old phone. Works fab. I know it's not what you asked.... but may help. I heard the toys things react too late and baby is awake before activating.

Thanks

I think all those things are gimmicky. I put Ollie the Owl away at 12 weeks, didn't seem to make a bit of difference anyway. DS sleeps perfectly in his own room with no white noise, I know it's recommended by a lot of sleep trainers but I always think if they can do without them it's better again. It's a sleep association regardless of how you look at it, in my opinion anyway

Thanks

We never needed to use one - even though we got given one as a gift. Why not wait and see first if you need it.

We still use myhummy for our 4 year old !
you can also put it on repeat for 12 hours. We bring it on holidays and nights away , really handy to block out background noise .
Absolutely recommend!

Thanks

Thanks. We go away quite a bit and I like the idea of being able to recreate as much of a sense of home as possible.

We use ollie the owl as comes on automatically! DS loves it (9 weeks) and it settles him to sleep quickly. We have used it since birth

Thanks

Initially I got a Snuzoud when DS1 was born but after a few weeks I turned to myHummy as I loved how you can have it on continuously for 12 hours. Still use it now with my almost 3 year old and it works a treat!

Thanks
