Whisbear - The Humming Bear Review and Giveaway

Friday, 13 November 2015 in , , , - 118 comments

Whisbear was introduced to me as an extraordinary bear who was born with one mission: to help little babies sleep well. Inside this teddy bear, which design was inspired by children's pictures, is a whisbear heart, or a device that humms and shushes imitating a hair dryer (although I think it sounds just like our dehumidifier). Shushing is the natural acoustic environment for newborn babies as they remember it from their mothers wombs and so naturally hearing a very similar noise soothes them.


We've been testing ours with Logan and I have to say it seems to do it's job (whilst also playing the purpose of a comforting teddy bear). The other day I was in the middle of cleaning the window sills when Logan, who I'd laid down in Ethans cot whilst I cleaned the windows in our bedroom, started to get a little grumpy, as he usually does when he starts getting tired. I was minutes away from being finished, so I grabbed his Whisbear,laid it next to him and turned it on. The noise from the bear, as well as the bear itself distracted him straight away. After the initial introduction of the new sound and bear, he seemed to stay quite content, laying there holding on to his bear, looking at it and attempting to eat his ear (see below)!


There's a fair few things to like about this bear. I personally really like it's modern look and it's design. There are magnets in the bears paws so it can easily be placed on a prams handle or a cot's handle (as pictured above). 


This Whisbear features CRYsensor which recognises a baby's cry and then automatically switches on the shushing sound. The whole device can also be turned on and off manually and the volume can be adjusted. 


Whisbear is available from http://whisbear.co.uk.

If you'd like the chance to win a Whisbear for your own little one, please follow the instructions on the rafflecopter form below. This giveaway is open to UK residents only and you must read my giveaway disclaimer first before entering. The lucky winner will be announced via my blogs facebook page shortly after the closing date. Best of luck!

    I would choose Pink, it looks like Logan loves it and anything that helps colic is a must.

    The whisbear sounds very handy. I'm hoping when my little one arrives (due next week!) that I'll be able to teach her to self-settle, but when all else fails this sounds like a very comforting alternative.
