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 love bedtime. Iggle Piggle goes off, bath time next, then we let her wind down with songs leading to stories. Then we all go to bed at the same time so shes not left alone. She goes to sleep in minutes. Then I get back up and catch up on my cleaning (the not fun part) lol.

    I really can’t give advice on this, my girl didn’t seem to believe in sleep, not sure I had a whole night’s sleep for the first 2 years. She’s 25 now, and still doesn’t need much sleep. Unnatural child!

    We are still trying to get into a settled routine at 14 weeks but sleeping through for the last 3 weeks so not too worried about getting everything done to a strict timetable at the moment

    My daughter has always been a poor sleeper as she wakes up a lot during the night. It’s getting better and i have found sticking to the same bedtime routine and sleep times has helped considerably.

    Have a routine and stick to it, and have it involve a bedtime story 🙂
