Review and giveaway | Iggle Piggle Sleep Tight

As a parent, getting kids to sleep through the night is like the holy grail isn’t it? It starts when your baby is a few weeks old – people ask you if they are ‘sleeping through’ yet, and this continues on, usually until your little one heads off to school. It’s always a question that comes up at playgroups – how many hours sleep you are getting, what time they wake in the morning.

I am really lucky, as all of mine have been good sleepers – I think they get that from me. But what we have had some problems with is early morning rising – it’s so hard for little ones to understand when it’s ‘morning’ – if they wake up, they think it’s time to rise, shine and demand crumpets and Paw Patrol. 

Golden Bear have created a range of new Sleep Time soft toys, which are soft, huggable and provide a great way to teach children when to sleep and when to get up.

Iggle Piggle Sleep Time

Iggle Piggle Sleep Time

We were sent the Iggle Piggle Sleep Time toy – perfect for any In the Night Garden fan. Suitable from 10 months – 6 years, this is the perfect option for anyone who has an early riser, or for those who struggle to fall asleep. 

At bedtime, a gentle squeeze makes Iggle Piggle‘s tummy glow soft red, a colour that promotes restfulness in children, while providing a reassuring nightlight. If it’s time to get up, squeeze again, and Iggle Piggle‘s tummy turns green – time to get up! Iggle Piggle also has fun phrases and a music mode, and a parent control with sleep mode. 

Iggle Piggle Sleep Time

Set the module to sleep mode, and set the time for the duration you want your child to sleep – this could be a full 8 hours, or a quick nap. When your child squeezes Iggle Piggle’s tummy while sleep mode is activated, the red light indicates it is still sleep time, and the soothing noises (rain, suft, heartbeat, waterfall or chirruping crickets) will help your little one drop back off. You can also set sleep mode to have no sounds, just the glowing red light – we found this much better at night time, especially as Max shares a room with his brother. 

Once the sleep timer has finished, a squeeze of Iggle Piggle’s tummy will show your child it’s time to get up!

    I read to my three year old, then tell him simple adventures starring himself – driving a fire engine to put out a fire, for example. I leave him imagining himself in that situation, and he day-dreams until he falls asleep.

    I’ve found out the hard way that the only real thing that works is getting little’uns into a routine so they know when they are expected to go to bed and try to stick to it…soon enough their bodyclocks synchronise with it and BINGO problem solved. x 😉

    Bath, warm milky drink and to be honest i used to sing to mine after a story. (it worked maybe because they didn’t want to hear but i think my voice is like an angels and they drifted off to sleep, lol)

    A bath and then my daughter lays in her bed while I tell her a story about her but call her a princess, she giggles then goes straight to sleep :-). My son then reads to me a bit later and he settles after that, he’s 9 though but has always been a good boy at going to bed!

    I try my best to set a routine and bedtime and stick to it, it seems to be working so far and I only ever find it goes to pot if one of the kids are poorly, napping through the day when they aren’t well really messes it up but it can’t be helped. My little ones have a settle down time from half 6 to half seven where they oput their pjs and, and sit quietyly watching tv for an hour, then it goes off and they brush their teeth and have a story, lights out at 8
