Gentle Patting Baby Sleep Aid

It's whisper quiet which was important for us as our bedroom is right next to the nursery. Our little girl has slept noticeably better since we started using it at bedtime and for her afternoon nap.

I used to rock our son for ages before he'd properly drop off. This does the job instead and means I can actually get some washing up done while he settles himself in the cot.

Took it into nursery for nap times and one of the staff asked where we'd bought it because our daughter settles so much quicker with it than without. Definitely worth the price for the peace it's brought us.

It's been great for our son's naps and the patting motion is gentle rather than jarring. Only thing missing is some kind of small pouch to keep it clean when we chuck it in the changing bag.

A friend at baby group mentioned hers and I ordered one that evening. Our little one settled with it on the second night and hasn't looked back. The bear design is really cute in person too.

We use ours in the car seat on longer drives and it's kept our son settled far better than just his dummy alone. Charges up quickly too, which matters when you're in a rush before a trip.

My daughter is 4 months old and she can already hold onto the paws herself, which I didn't expect this early. The soft dotted texture seems to keep her attention while it pats her off to sleep.

Unzips easily for washing which I wasn't expecting given how fiddly some baby products can be. My son has had his for two months of daily use and it still looks practically new.

After months of getting up every time our daughter stirred, this has genuinely given us a couple of extra hours sleep a night. The auto shut off after four hours means we don't have to think about it either.

Does exactly what it says on the soothing front and our son loves the pink bunny design. The only gripe is the remote doesn't quite reach if you're downstairs with the monitor on, but from the doorway it's fine.

Bought one to trial with my twins and ended up ordering a second within a week because they both wanted it. The gentle patting really does mimic being patted to sleep, it's quite clever actually.

We mostly use this at home but it's just as handy clipped to the pushchair for outdoor naps. My toddler still likes holding onto it even though she's a bit old for it now. Well made and washes up nicely.

The concept is great and when it works it really does help our daughter settle, but one of the seams on the leg started coming loose after about three weeks. Still usable but disappointing given how much we paid.

No complicated setup, just charge it, pop it in the cot and use the remote to start the patting. Our son took to it within a couple of days. Good value for how much it's been used already.

The fabric is lovely and soft, no rough seams anywhere near where her face rests against it. My 5 month old has started properly cuddling into it at nap times, which she never did with anything else.

We had one for our eldest and it worked so well we bought a second for the new baby. Handy that it's small enough to clip into the car seat for naps on the go as well as the cot at home.

Really pleased with how it soothes our little girl, but the removable cover is quite thick so it takes a fair while to air dry after washing. Worth having a spare on hand really. The patting motion itself is lovely and gentle.

It switches itself off after the four hours which is exactly right for our son's night stretch. No fiddling with settings once he's actually asleep. Nice soft plush too, feels well made for daily use.

So glad this doesn't need constant battery changes, just plug it in overnight when it's low. My 9 month old has one in her cot and one that lives in the pram, and both have held up well after two months.

Picked the pink bunny one for my sister's newborn as a baby shower gift. She messaged me a week later to say it's the only thing that gets him down without a long walk round the room. Genuinely impressed with how simple it is to use.

Our little one wasn't sure about it at first and it took about four nights before she really settled with it. Now she reaches for it herself at bedtime. Only wish the charging cable was a bit longer for our socket position.

Got this for our daughter after a friend recommended it. Being able to start the patting from the doorway without going back in and waking her up properly has been brilliant. The cream bear design is lovely and soft too.

Bought the blue bear one for my 7 month old and it has honestly changed our evenings. He used to need rocking for a good 20 minutes but now the gentle patting settles him in about 5. The fabric feels really soft too, nothing scratchy against his cheek.
