We went to great lengths to make sure that we used the best possible sounds in our dream sheep to accompany the movement in the soothing system. With the help of the UoB’s foetal monitoring equipment, the actual womb sounds and heartbeat of a pregnant mum were recorded by the team. These sounds were then combined with household, musical and natural sounds at low bass frequencies of 125hz to produce ‘pink noise.’ This is the type of noise that babies predominantly hear when in the womb, which is why it is so effective. Again, parents were asked to trial a selection of sounds at home to find out which ones worked best with their baby and from these results, the top 4 most popular sounds were selected to be used in our dream sheep, ewan.

The final ingredient to the mix was the soothing pink glow that is emitted from ewan…. research has shown that babies are comforted by certain aspects of the womb, so a pink ambient glow was the natural choice for our dream sheep’s tummy.

Feedback from parents has shown that ewan is loved by newborns through to toddlers and beyond… so there really is a place for ewan in every household!

“I ordered ewan the dream sheep, after being recommended him by other mums, for my 14 month old son. I admit I was slightly sceptical as I worried, that with him being an easily disturbed sleeper and being an older baby, he may not take to it! For the first few weeks he mostly used it as a toy, but recently he was very unwell and we put it on to soothe him and I am amazed! He now loves it on when he goes to bed day or night and he falls into a deep and happy sleep every time! We are truly ‘ewan’ fans now! Every mum should have one!"
