Sweet Dream soother helps baby (and adults) with sleep
A new iHome product, the Sweet Dream (iZBT50) sound and light soother with a cry sensor, is designed to help a baby fall asleep faster. And just as important, it will assist in keeping the baby asleep by masking distracting noises.
The Sweet Dream lets you plan the sleeping with two schedule modes combining lights and sounds. The six light modes include wake, rest with a red light, glow with a rainbow spectrum slow fade, one color of your choice, sunlight with a gradual waking glow, and the candle mode, which has an ambient flicker.
There’s no app; an integrated display shows the programs scheduled, and an included remote controls the settings.
A company representative warned me that this worked so well, it put her to sleep during a personal test. But with no baby to assist in a test, I went to the bullpen and had my wife, a sleeping machine, give it a try.
The sounds were all that were needed, and after a short time, she was sound asleep with white noise programmed for just a half-hour. There were 14 choices of what iHome describes as soothing sounds, including four naturally recorded environmental white noises, four lullabies and six white noises designed to soothe infants (and adults) to induce sleep.
Other features of the 5-by-5-by-4.57-inch sound and light soother include Bluetooth for streaming music playlists and syncing the clock time with an iPhone’s time, a night light and reading light with six modes, and brightness control. You can choose the color for what to wake to at a specific wake-up time.
A toddler lock prevents wandering and unwanted hands from changing the programs and settings. Parents will love the crysensor technology, which, when needed, activates a shush sound to help calm the crying baby.
