My son doesn't have any trouble falling asleep, but he's been getting up at 4am. Anyone have experience with this product helping kids STAY asleep?

Try gently waking him when you go to bed a few hours later- many times when children are going through growth spurts their REM sleep is off a bit. By gently waking him, then letting fall back to sleep you will push back his internal clock a few hours.

My 3 year old daughter stays asleep well. She will wake up talking and laughing in her sleep but she stays asleep

My grand kids have a problem with going to sleep and staying asleep. Last night was the first night using the sleep aide. For the two year old I gave her 1/2 pill and she only slept for 5 hours and then kept her mother awake until 4 a.m. The four year old only woke up because the the two year decided that he needed to be awake because she was. Needless to say, tonight I gave her a whole pill and him two. He is fairly large for his age! They both fell asleep around 9 p.m. And it is 12:02 a.m. and they both are still sound asleep! I am hoping that they will both remain asleep for the evening. We are just trying to break a bad patten of them either going to bed after midnight or going to bed and waking up in the middle of the night! If this works, then we will continue the treatments until a pattern is established!

Our 5 year old grandson lives with us. Once he goes to sleep, he's out for the night. I'm not sure if it helps him stay asleep or not. One night he got into my daughter's bottle of 5 mg.melatonin - took 6 pills. I almost freaked out until I called poison control. They said it won't hurt a child at all. I won't make them sleep forever like a sleeping pill would. So it sounds like it is pretty safe to use. I'd try it for a few days and see if it helps. Good luck.

My child was only wetting at night by the time we used the alarm. I imagine that it would not help daytime wetting. From what I've read, the alarm helps the child learn to wake up when sleeping deeply in order to urinate and also helps their brain and body communicate while sleeping.

My son's mattress is fairly thin, but I put a memory foam topper on it--since he has it at school with him, I don't get to see it, but he hasn't complained about it. I believe it's staying on fine.

my daughter is the one using it and she falls asleep on it as her back relaxes...she has always found it helpful and when I used it (before I got badly hurt) I found it relaxed the muscles that were knotted up.....I am looking at the answers ...and the one said they were sitting on it...that is not how you use it...their use to be a video on their sight....

That will really depend on how he sleeps. If you have the light on your side of the bed, it might not be bright enough to wake him up if he's not facing it. But it does tend to make the whole room at least a bit brighter, so if he's sensitive to light it will.

I'd say it depends on how much your kid moves around. At that age, my kids moved a lot when sleeping, and so they would probably just slide right off it. Although it's certainly safer than just trying to prop them up on pillows.

It depends on how your child sleeps. The sides come out quite a bit and so my son's head is usually resting on one of the sides when he sleeps. We had a different booster before this one and I will say that he seems to sleep better in this one than his old one. I would suggest that you remove your head rest if you buy this seat because it lets the seat lean back a bit more and that seemed to help also with the head flopping forward when he fell asleep. This is an awesome booster. I think you will be very happy with it.

I believe it's safe for every night use. We kept our son in a crib until he was almost 4 years old for safety reasons, he was a crazy active sleeper. It's been about a year, he's almost 5 & has not fallen out of bed, yet. I do check on him before I go to bed & often move him back up to his pillows because he finds his way to the only unsafe spot without bumpers, the foot of the bed. We had a typical bed rail on our 3 year old daughter's bed & I ended up switching that out with these foam bumpers because they were working well with our boy, changing sheets are SO much easier, & they look better than the clunky bed rail.

No, but my daughter also loves the music so much she often turns it on in the mornings and after naps when she wakes up. It puts her in a good mood and she'll happily play with her toys in the crib while it's on. I can't count how many times it's given us an extra few minutes of needed shut-eye in the early morning! The thing's been a godsend for us. And our now 21-month-old is still delighted by it after nearly a year. I actually thing she associates the music with the "light show" she loves so much and doesn't seem to mind when she can't actually see the projections. Btw, other similar stuff like the sleep sheep, timed music players, etc., NEVER worked for her like this does.

Yes, we did have that problem. We put it up for her to play in before we expected to use it, but she wasn't interested. Since then she has become more interest in crawling into/under/through things. So I think if your child is already at that point, if you put it up for her to play in first she probably would not mind sleeping in it later.

I did. I believe it's approved for all night sleep. It's great for babies with reflux because it sits them up. Similar to the Rock N Play but without the terrible reviews. We loved this and used it until she didn't fit anymore!!

I bought this for the same reason for my 18 month old. It would work, if he didn't wake up and remove it every time I try to use it on him.

I do not think you will have any issue getting it to wake your child up. For my daughter, even the quiet setting was loud! Tip for use, Once you put it on the panties put a pull-up over the panties/underwear. The sensor is so sensitive even a little sweat will make it go off, but the pull-up will keep that from happening. This alarm worked great for my six year old daughter and my neighbor is currently having success with her five year old son.

HI Dave, it helps you to relax and get in a sleepy mood, but I would not say that it truly puts you to sleep. If you ant something a tad more sleepy try Celestial Seasoning sleepy time with Valerian.Happy dreams!

It seems to work for me. I have a grinding problem while sleeping, and I tend to snore (according to my wife). She says it has made me not snore as well.

No...unfortunately I do the same thing. Very frustrating but I keep doing it because it keeps my baby sleeping! Can try rechargeables maybe to keep the costs down.
