1) Why do some people say not to rock your baby to sleep?

Firstly, anyone who says not to rock your baby to sleep, is usually talking about the situation where, you, as a parent, are holding your baby close to you in your arms and using a rocking motion (The Mummy Sway) (and usually standing up at the time) lulling your baby to sleep. The baby often falls asleep in this warm and comforting environment. What happens next is the main reason some people object to rocking a baby to sleep.

Once the baby is asleep, the parent then lowers the baby from the warm and comforting environment which it fell asleep, to a stationary and cold cot. It is here that, after a few minutes, that the baby then senses a dramatic change in the environment, and wakes up usually crying, wanting to be rocked in that warm environment in which she/he fell asleep in. Therefore, you, as the parent naturally worry about your baby as he/she is crying and you then pick up your baby and continue with the “mummy sway” to attempt to get your baby back to sleep. This is VERY VERY exhausting and time consuming and at times, very stressful to you, as a parent. We believe the Lullabub provides a sleep system which will avoid most of these problems and be embraced by most critics of infants sleeping patterns.

We recommend that you place your baby while they are still awake in the cot when you know they are getting tired or you know its time for them to sleep. Then press the remote control to your baby’s desired motion (four to choose from, this may take a few times to understand what your baby seems to enjoy the most) You may stay with your baby for the first couple of times as the Lullabub is working. You may also want to gently touch, rub or pat you baby for extra comfort. Once your baby closes their eyes and fall asleep, you may leave the room, stand back and watch the Lullabub automatically move the cot/crib in a soothing and relaxing motion and your baby thinks your are still there doing it. As the time limit is preset to 30 minutes, and if, after this time, your baby wakes up, then simply re-activate the motion with the remote control, and your baby will then be soothed to sleep the very same way as it did previously.

Yes, your baby may get used to going asleep with the Lullabub, but remember what is most important here:
• Your Baby going to sleep;
• Your baby getting the required amount of sleep and
• (most importantly) you as the primary care giver are getting some rest or sleep as well!!

If you are not having enough rest you will tend to be more irritable towards your baby and family due to sleep deprivation.

2) Is the Lullabub safe?

YES, The Lullabub is a product to help and assist in the daily sleep routine of your baby. The Lullabub has the regulatory compliances needed to give the parent / carer peace of mind.

The Lullabub works together in conjunction with a cot and providing you use a cot that is to the latest safety standards, then the Lullabub is safe to use. Please check with your local baby shop to see if your cot is to the latest safety standards.

3) Will the Lullabub fit our cot?

The maximum size leg that will fit in the Lullabub unit is 90mm (3.54") x 45mm (1.77"). Any combination of measurements lower than these will fit in the Lullabub unit.

A cot / crib leg measuring 75mm x 75mm (3 inches x 3 inches) and any measurement within these will also fit the Lullabub.

Please see the “Lullabub Details” section and click on “Cot Leg Sizes” you can print out the supplied template.

4) How is it powered?

One Lullabub module is powered similar to your mobile phone. The certified supplied Plug pack converts you home power to only six Volts to operate the unit and the night light. The remote control is powered by two AA batteries. Batteries are included.

5) At what age is the Lullabub suitable for?

We recommend from birth up until your baby can stand up and start to climb. Once your baby can stand up and start to climb, they are ready to make the transition from the cot to the normal bed. (Birth to around 1.5 years old)

6) Is the Lullabub noisy?

No. The Lullabub has a patent pending mechanism which is quiet in operation so not to disturb your baby or any other member of the family.

7) Can the Lullabub be used manually?

Yes. As the cot is supported on the Lullabub system, you can easily rock the cot gently with one finger.

8) Does the Lullabub maintain the cot's structure?

Yes. In fact the Lullabub supports the whole cot/crib in such a way that it will maintain the strength of the cot and eliminate any racking of the cot/crib. The Lullabub has a unique design that supports the whole cot on an independent suspension system. The Lullabub supports the cot in a way that does not undermine the cots structure, but keeps it rigid as the manufacturer intended.
