Yoto player
It’s technology to the rescue with this ingenious little box of tricks. While it has loads of functions to read audio books to your child, it’s also a super little sleep aid. You pair the box with your phone and then can select a different colour light for nighttime and daytime (we went for red and yellow at night). You can even set the colours change to change depending on the time of day – particularly useful if you want older children to stay in bed longer in the morning.
It also has a sleep radio function within the app, where you can play a mix of sleepy tracks, or noises including white noise as well as rain, hedgerows and even camping in rural France. All of which you can switch on and off with your phone so you don’t need to go into the room and disturb your snoozing baby.
Once your child is older, you can also buy stories or guided meditation cards for your player, which you insert into a reader and it’ll then gently chat your child to sleep. We loved all the flexibility this product gave us. It had our baby and older testers snoozing peacefully, and we were really impressed with how this innovative product can grow with your child.
