Product Description Bennie the Bear is a member of the Grofriends family; the must have sleep aid range from The Gro Company. Bennie the Bear plays four soothing sounds including heartbeat, rainfall, white noise static and beautiful Brahms lullaby. Promising to always be there, the CrySensor technology means that Bennie automatically activates when baby cries, so that he can soothe little ones back to sleep in an instant, without Mum or Dad having to get up. The sounds play for 20 minutes and then Bennie switches to standby mode for three hours, but rest assured he is listening intently and will turn on at any point during standby mode to play either the white noise static or Brahms lullaby sound thanks to the CrySensor function.

A wonderful sleep aid!
I was initially weary of using a toy that made noise throughout the night as it seemed all the google searches whilst gently shushing my little one at 3am told me it could be detrimental etc etc. I now wish I had bought it earlier and not thought so hard about it. You can choose what noise is played and when very young we used the white noise option and it worked a dream. As soon as my son made a noise it would click back on and he’d drift back off to sleep. To be honest, both me and my husband also sleep better with it playing! Now our sons older at 10 months we have switched to playing the lullaby and he knows it’s time to sleep when we turn it on and put him in his cot. He’s put down awake and asleep in minutes. He also plays with it when he wakes up which gives us some time to feel human again at 6am. Batteries tend to last us 4-5 days so we grabbed rechargeable ones and a fast charger, perfect solution! This is by far one of our best buys as new parents and it looks lovely in his cot. The Velcro also made me feel more comfortable knowing it’s not actually sitting inside the cot when baby is young.

Worth every penny
Absolutely brilliant love it and so does our baby , only thing I think could be maybe say about that the cry sensor is that sensitive my daughter dropped her book in the next room over and set it off other than that it’s brilliant wish I had one for my other 3

Worked well for Newborn, short battery life
Brother in law said it really helped with aiding his daughters sleep as a newborn. Batteries didn't last very long, so would recommend getting rechargeable batteries.

Works well but eats batteries.
Great for white noise to settle baby to sleep. Range of sounds to choose from between nursery rhyme, heart bear and white noise. 3 different volume options. Overall great product but heavy on battery use. Requires 4 AA batteries and lasts about a fortnight when used each night. Started using rechargeable to save buying more.

Lovely but sensitive
We love Bennie but he is very sensitive which means that the music plays for most of the noise. The stairs creaking can set him off so I end up having to sneak into my son’s room to switch him off.

Brilliant sleeping aid
Love this. Has been a godsend in getting my little one back to sleep.The song stops at an odd place which is very abrupt though. The bear also eats batteries, but with rechargeable ones has been no problem.Dispite these flaws I wouldn't be without him.

A very useful gift
My friend, for whom I bought this as a new mum gift, said that the bear is a lifesaver and it helps her soothing her baby to sleep quite efficiently.

Too loud
No major issues with battery life like other reviews suggest. Build quality is good also. The main issue with this product is volume; it's just far too loud. Even on lowest setting it's borderline unbearable; certainly not suitable as a backdrop for sleep.
