We all know getting a good night’s sleep has many health benefits, both physical and mental, but getting some serious shut eye for the whole family can be easier said than done!
Here at Cheeky Rascals, we love innovation, especially new technology that is designed to make parenting easier and with Sleep Awareness Week currently taking place (Lullaby Trust), and World Sleep Day being celebrated on Friday (18th March), we wanted to take a moment to share our top 10 favourite innovations that will certainly help the whole family get their 40 winks.
No need to keep counting sheep with these sleep tech heroes and recommendations below!
1. Owlet Dream Sock ®
It is common for parents and caregivers to feel anxious about leaving their little one while they sleep. A trusted monitor is an invaluable piece of tech for any household with young children.
The Owlet Medically-Certified Dream Sock® helps ease that anxiety by providing real-time tracking of pulse rate, oxygen levels, and sleep patterns , all accessible in one handy app. Unlike many monitoring systems, the Dream Sock® offers comprehensive insights into your baby’s well-being, giving parents peace of mind wherever they are in the house.
2. Rockit Rocker
Keeping baby asleep in a pushchair while out-and-about can be a challenge. There are things to do but babies can have other ideas, which can often be frustrating as parents as they try to ‘rock’ their baby back to sleep by pushing their pram forwards and backwards.
Whether napping at home or on the go, Rockit will ensure little ones drift off to the Land of Nod in no time! The revolutionary Rockit Rocker is a handy must-have accessory that keeps babies moving and snoozing. Simply attach to any pram or stroller, push the button, and adjust the speed.
Designed to mimic natural movement, it gently replicates the familiar hand-rocking motion of a pushchair. This allows parents to keep both hands free while their baby is safely soothed to sleep.
3. Crane Drop 2.0
When babies experience any irritation or blockage into their airways, such as a cold this can be very disruptive to their sleep. This is because new-born babies only breath through their noses for the first 4 to 6 months of their lives. This can lead to restless and noisy nights which impacts both babies and parents’ sleep.
A cool mist room humidifier can help relieve dry and stuffy noses, making it easier for your baby to breath, feed, and sleep. The Crane Drop 2.0 4-in-1 Humidifier With Sound Machine features a large water tank with allows the humidifier to run through all-night, unlike many other humidifiers.
The ideal baby gadget for your little one’s bedroom Crane is not just a humidifier. With additional features such as the built-in sound machine with 3 calming sounds from the natural world, an optional nightlight with 7 colour choices and an Aroma tray, to further offer relaxation for quality rest and sleep.
4. Rockit Wooshh
Have you ever heard parents make shushing sounds to make their baby drift off to sleep? Perhaps you have even done so yourself. The Rockit Wooshh is a small, but mighty sound soother that is designed to solve this problem.
Parents can choose from 8 sounds and 4 volume levels, to create the perfect environment to encourage their baby to drift off and help mask disruptive noises. The versatile pocket-sized design of the Wooshh allows it to stand, clip, or strap out of the baby’s reach wherever you go. This unique and affordable baby gadget will make sleep time just a little bit easier by helping babies snooze soundly.
5. Baby Brezza Formula Pro Advanced
Making bottle of formula while baby is crying is not a fun task. Even less so in the middle of the night when it is completely dark, with a crying baby in your arms and time is running short. The traditional way of making formula bottles with a kettle can often be time consuming, unhygienic and difficult to get right first time.

This is 80 times faster than the traditional method! With no measuring, no mixing and no fuss in the bottle making process the Formula Pro Advanced can really be a lifesaving gadget for parents of formula fed babies.
6. Rockit Zed

Simply place Zed on the mattress by baby’s feet, press the snooze button and the soothing vibrations will ripple through the mattress, comforting and encouraging a deep sleep.
