This crib is a game changer! I bought this crib because my husband was only going to have 2 weeks of paternity leave and I knew I would struggle handling nights on my own, and I was searching online for smart cribs or other devices to help babies sleep better. The only one I had heard about before was the Snoo but I had a really hard time justifying the price tag given that you could only use it for a few months. Luckily I saw an ad for the Cradlewise! What I love about it: - It's so quiet, so that I don't get woken up by the noise. -There are settings around how responsive it is, which we are currently using to help with sleep training. -The materials are high quality. -It's beautiful! It really is a gorgeous crib -I love that you can use it for up to 2 years! One less baby item to buy that you only use for a short time. We figured that the alternative was to get a night nurse when the sleep deprivation got really bad but with the Cradlewise we felt we didn't need it, and we were right. -Audio (white noise) and camera are built in. So yet another baby item we didn't need to buy. One big benefit is that because my baby spends more time in deep sleep she is already used to sleeping for longer stretches at night as we wean her off the bouncing. And I still have the flexibility to turn bouncing back on as needed.
