Nola's Breathing Plush™

“Ordered this after seeing it for the third time at 3am, so my expectations were low honestly. It showed up in a week and the fabric is way softer than I expected, my daughter grabbed it right away. First night she actually fell asleep before I finished her bottle, which never happens in this house. It's not magic, she still woke up at 2 for a feed, but she went back down in about ten minutes instead of the usual hour. The breathing sound is the part that works for us, it's quiet and repetitive enough that she stops fighting it. The hood comes off so I can wash it, which it needed by day three. Only thing I'd change is the volume, I wish it had more than one setting. Already ordering a second one for daycare.”

“The belly actually moves up and down, I thought that was exaggerated in the ads. My son is 7 months and he's out in about 15 minutes with the sound on.”

“Got the green one for my 2 year old because she's been climbing into our bed every single night since we moved. She picked the avocado over the pink one herself at checkout. First week she just carried it around and didn't care about the sounds at all. Then I started turning it on while we do books and now she asks for "donkey" at bedtime. She stayed in her own bed 5 out of 7 nights this week, which is honestly a record for us. I took a star off because the sound is louder than I expected in a small room, even on the low setting. The hood comes off which is great because it got sticky immediately. Would recommend, just be ready for the noise.”

“I bought this for the car because my 4 month old screamed the entire drive to daycare. It lives in the car seat with her now and I put the breathing sound on before we pull out. It's not a miracle, she still fusses, but the screaming has mostly stopped and that is enough for me. The avocado hood is cute and easy to take off to wash. Battery has lasted about two weeks of daily drives so far and I haven't had to charge it once. One thing, the light on the chest is bright in a dark car, so I turn it face down. Worth the money for my sanity on the 401.”

“My son would only fall asleep in my arms and now I can put him down awake with this and he settles on his own. I wish there were more sound options, the melody gets stuck in my head by the end of the night. Shipped to Montreal faster than the estimate said.”

“Second baby, so I was skeptical about anything that promises sleep. My first was a terrible sleeper and I spent a fortune on things that did nothing, so this sat in the box for a week. At 3.5 months I finally tried it during the day naps first, and he went down without being rocked for the first time ever. The breathing is what does it, it's slow enough that he matches it, and the little melody is quiet enough that it doesn't wake him when it stops. My husband thought it was a gimmick until he did the 2am wake up with it. We've had it about three weeks now and the nights are still not perfect but they're shorter, maybe 25 minutes of settling instead of an hour and a half.”
