Lottie is Star of the Blog!

Friday, August 20th, 2010

This week’s Star of the Blog is 10 month old Lottie, sleeping soundly on her sun lounger. Here’s what Lottie’s mum had to say:

“I’ve been meaning to write for ages to tell you just how wonderful I think your Sleepytot bunny is!  I’ve attached a photo of my 10 month old daughter with her beloved bunny, taking a snooze on a sun lounger on holiday!  I recommend the sleepytot to everyone I know whose baby has a dummy and have just ordered another ‘spare’ just in case!”

It’s something that helps your baby sleep through the night without your involvement and provides her with comfort. (more…)

But as your baby becomes a toddler, and then a preschooler, you will start to think about the best way to help your little one let the dummy go.

Here’s how you can use Sleepypaws to make it easier for a child of two and over. (more…)
