Customer Reviews

Absolutely brilliant!
My newborn baby loves this little fold out book and I get great pleasure from seeing her happy with it. I wish I had bought a few of these as I use this one inside her pram during the day (I peg it around the inside of her pram) and also move it to place it along the wall at the side of her changing area. She is transfixed by the mirror page and stares at it for ages quietly while I'm changing her. She is also fascinated by the other pages too but nothing like the little mirror. I line the fishy mirror up to exactly where her face is (in the pram or on the changing unit) so she can see in it. Worth every penny in exchange for those lovely quiet moments for me and the amusement for her!

Highly over rated
I read the other reviews with interest. My son is currently eight weeks old and is one of the more alert babies (translation rarely sleeps, cries a lot and needs a lot of stimulation). I had hoped after reading the other reviews that this cot book would give him some stimulation. However it is described as a cot book, I think a better description is a fabric book. I have seen many pictures of this book unfolded and appearing to be attached to the side of the cot. There is nothing to attach it to the side of the cot, you can just sort of lean it there, so if you baby flails about they will knock it over. I think it would be better with some attachments for the side of the cot otherwise it is just a fabric book that folds out.

This may be ideal for content babies to be stimulated by, but as a warning to parents with alert babies (you know who you are, you are the ones that are currently desparately searching Amazon to find something that will entertain your baby whilst you get five minutes snatched sleep) then I wouldn't bother.

Great purchase
I bought this book for my 8 week old premature baby and it's the only thing so far that really captures her attention. We put it around her on her changing table or when she is having a bit of a kick in her cot and she is mesmerised by it - particularly the picture of the house for some reason! It does seem to calm her down if she is getting a bit fractious. Definitely a worthwhile purchase!
