Sleep Aids

Baby monitors, done properly. From Owlet's advanced Smart Sock and Camera monitors (tracking sleep, movement, and more) to Beaba's Zen range of audio and video monitors, our baby monitor selection covers everything from simple audio reassurance to full video and vital-tracking setups. If you're after the best baby monitor for your family, it really comes down to how much detail you want — Beaba's Simply Zen offers straightforward audio monitoring, while Owlet's Monitor Duo 2 and Smart Sock track sleep patterns and vitals for parents who want deeper insight.

White noise and soothers. Rockit's Wooshh is a genuine white noise machine, designed to mask household noise and help babies settle and stay asleep. Alongside it, Skip Hop's Stroll & Go and Rockit's Zed combine soothing sound, vibration, and in Zed's case a built-in night light, covering both soothers and baby soothers in one product. For naps on the go, Rockit's Pram Rocker gently rocks any pram or stroller.

Blackout blinds for better sleep. Easyblinds' portable Easynight blackout blind is designed for exactly the situations regular curtains can't solve — hotel rooms, grandparents' houses, or a nursery that just gets too much light. A properly darkened room supports both nighttime sleep and daytime naps, which is why blackout blinds (sometimes searched as block out blinds) are one of the simplest upgrades for a baby who wakes at first light.

Night lights, whether standalone or built into a soother like Rockit's Zed, offer just enough visibility for overnight feeds and settles without fully waking your baby (or you).

FAQs

What is the best baby monitor for a newborn?
The best baby monitor depends on what you want to track. Simple audio monitors (like Beaba's Simply Zen) suit parents who mainly want to hear their baby, while video monitors (Beaba's Zen Premium and Connect) add visual reassurance, and advanced options like Owlet's Smart Sock track sleep and vital signs for those wanting deeper insight.

Do white noise machines actually help babies sleep?
Many parents find white noise machines genuinely helpful for masking household noise and creating a consistent sleep association, though it's worth keeping volume at a safe, moderate level and positioned away from the cot.

What's the difference between a soother and a comforter?
A soother (like Skip Hop's Stroll & Go or Rockit's Zed) is typically an electronic device offering sound, vibration, or light to help settle a baby. A comforter is usually a soft, huggable toy or attachment designed for a baby to hold and self-soothe with during sleep.

Do blackout blinds really make a difference to daytime naps?
Yes — daylight is one of the most common reasons babies resist or cut short daytime naps, and a genuinely dark room (via blackout blinds, sometimes called block out blinds) can meaningfully extend nap length for light-sensitive sleepers.

Is a night light safe to use in a baby's room overnight?
Yes, a dim, warm-toned night light is generally considered safe and can make overnight feeds and settles easier without fully waking your baby, though brighter or blue-toned lights are best avoided close to bedtime
