Bedtime is an opportunity to strengthen the bond between parents and babies from their very first month.
Whether you read a bedtime story, sing a lullaby, or share a warm cuddle, these moments bring a comforting end to the day. They also help your little one sleep peacefully and improve their sleep.
Of course, bedtime does not always go smoothly. For some children, putting on pyjamas and getting ready for bed can become a daily drama.
Some children try to delay their evening separation from Mum for as long as possible. Others seem to fuss endlessly. Even quiet, easygoing babies sometimes strongly resist sleeping in their cot. They may have napped too long in the afternoon, or simply not want to stop whatever is keeping them busy.
That is why we parents look for something to help our children distinguish between day and night and create a peaceful atmosphere that invites them to lie down and unwind. Shhh… Hape has something designed especially to encourage that relaxation.
The cloud-shaped Musical Cloud Light mobile is designed to help children fall asleep more easily. Its soothing pastel colours, relaxing instrumental sounds, and soft lighting encourage relaxation in different ways. A hanging strap attaches to the edge of a cot, playpen, or stroller (hang it out of your baby’s reach; see the precautions below).
The cloud light mobile helps Mum and Dad create a pleasantly relaxing atmosphere for their little one. It also has a sensor that detects a young child’s cries, ready to soothe your baby if they wake during the night.
Instrumental music for better sleep
The right music and instrumental sounds can have a noticeable calming effect on young children, just as parents sing lullabies when their baby is fussy or needs help falling asleep. Gentle rain, heartbeat sounds, and soft music can also help babies relax because these sounds are gentle, steady, and familiar.
Soft music is a natural soothing aid that helps young children settle before bedtime. The 8 gentle melodies in Musical Cloud Light help children calm down, gradually close their eyes, and drift off to sleep. Its built-in shut-off timer lets you set how long the music plays, so parents can leave this gentle background music on even after leaving their baby’s bedroom.
What colour is your sleep? Discover white noise
Alongside its lullabies, the cloud light mobile has 2 more relaxing sound tracks: a heartbeat and gentle rain, which provide steady background sound. Gentle rain resembles white noise, a sound made up of many frequencies mixed evenly together. The heartbeat is a rhythmic sound similar to what your baby heard in the womb. One benefit of these background sounds is that they help mask surrounding noise.
Many parents find that steady background sound helps their baby settle, but it needs to be used correctly (see the precautions below). Sound also comes in other “colours.” White noise randomly generates all the frequencies humans can hear, with equal amplitude at every frequency, while pink noise alternates stronger low-frequency tones with softer high-frequency tones.
Sound precautions: Keep the volume low, similar to gentle rain or quieter than normal conversation (no more than approximately 50 decibels). Place the device at least about 2 metres from your baby’s sleeping area, never close to their ears or inside the cot, and use the shut-off timer. Research has found that many sleep sound machines exceed levels considered safe for babies’ hearing when played at maximum volume (Children's Hospital of Philadelphia). If you have concerns about your baby’s hearing, consult a paediatrician.
A heartbeat is a sound that helps babies in the womb feel warm, nourished, and protected. This simulated heartbeat creates a sense of Mum being close by, soothing your little one and helping them settle in preparation for a full sleep. Whether it is a heartbeat, gentle rain, or even the sound of a hair dryer, these steady background sounds can help babies calm down.
Sleep soundly wherever you are with Hape Musical Cloud Light
It bears repeating that Musical Cloud Light helps children settle after the stresses of the day and supports good-quality sleep with its soothing sound tracks. Your little one will not only fall asleep faster but also benefit from better, longer sleep.
This lovely hanging light can go anywhere with your little one. Its fabric strap makes it easy for parents to attach it to the outside of a cot, playpen, or stroller. This helps you keep your baby’s sleep routine on schedule, even on holiday or while travelling.
Hanging precautions: Hang it high enough to stay out of your baby’s reach. Straps must not dangle into the sleeping area, as straps and hanging objects pose a strangulation risk. Remove objects hanging above the cot when your baby starts pushing up on their hands and knees, or at around 5 months of age (Make Baby's Room Safe – AAP). Do not hang it from a handle or seat inside a moving car, as it could come loose and hit your baby during braking. In the cot, always place your baby on their back on a firm mattress, with no pillows, blankets, soft toys, or cot bumpers (AAP Safe Sleep). Read more: 5 Things Never to Do While Your Baby Sleeps
Routine is important in helping babies distinguish between day and night. Repeat the same sequence every day: singing the same lullaby or telling the same bedtime story each night creates reassuring activities that help babies relax. Soft lighting and lullabies can make bedtime a happy part of their day. (If your baby still struggles to sleep, try reading What to Do If Your Baby Won’t Sleep at Night and 3 Reasons to Have a Baby Mobile.)
You will find all these elements in Musical Cloud Light. It is easy to use: adjust the light intensity, sound, and colour simply by pressing one of the three hanging raindrop-shaped buttons.
You can also set the shut-off timer so the music keeps playing after you leave the room, as stopping it abruptly may wake your little one. Setting the timer before you leave helps your baby stay asleep. For the same reason, it also comes with a sensor that detects when a baby wakes and starts crying. The light turns on and soothing sounds play immediately.
With its attractive design and versatile features, Musical Cloud Light can turn bedtime into a favourite part of the day for children—and for Mum and Dad, too.
