Our Hatch Rest has been an absolute life-saver with my three kids (4, 3, and 1) all sharing a room and being on different wake-time schedules. It’s great for nighttime feeds or diaper changes – there is a touch ring tap function on the top so you can turn it on instantly – casting enough light so you can see what you are doing. Rest Mini includes 1 free month of access to Hatch Premium, a snoozy library of content designed to help wind down, relax and get ready for sleep.

If you have an older baby, toddler, or preschooler, we offer 1:1 Personalized Sleep Plans to help get your child (6+ months) sleeping independently for 11-12 hours per night. In addition to nightlight, Baby Rest is also a sound machine featuring 11 standard sounds including white noise, soft nature sounds and lullabies. The problem here is that cool-light options (white/blues/greens) are read by the brain as natural light. If your toddler begins asking for a nightlight, then by all means, using the Hatch Rest as a nightlight for comfort is a great option.Please always read the labels, warnings, and directions provided with the product before using or consuming a product. Sometimes I need to change his diaper in the middle of the night and would like to be able to see without turning on the light and this would be helpful. Especially like the Mon – Fri alarm feature and the fact that you do not need to turn the alarm on and off each day.

You can control it all from your iOS or Android phone – you don’t have to crawl on your stomach like a marine in training to turn the light down. Set a bedtime routine for your little one and if you have a toddler setting a schedule together to promote healthy sleeping routines.Once you set a program, there is an option to set a ‘toddler lock’ which prevents their little fingers from turning the noise machine off if they happen to touch it when getting out of bed. As with many products geared for sleep, we need to ensure that we use them in line with what a healthy sleep environment looks like (dark, quiet, and cool!

So, thank you so much for acknowledging that your readers are adults who can handle big-girl panties – and more importantly, for being such a fantastic resource to pregos like me. Consistently enforced sleep rules have the same effect of an ok-to-wake clock, but leaves the start of your day in your hands, rather than a device’s. If you change the sound or turn off the white noise, the change will be enough to wake up everyone in the room).

No parent will tell you, “I love when my kid wakes me up at 4 AM thinking it’s time to start the day! Stay asleep longer: Block out noise and disruptions with pink noise, light rain and many more background sounds to help you tune out any distractions that might keep you awake. I can connect them all to my same account on the app, and easily switch devices to customize what each kid wanted, right at my fingertips! also 'favorites' can only be activated by the top ring, you cannot select a 'favorite' from your phone to play.

But when my 7-year-old decided she wouldn’t sleep in her bed anymore because she’s scared of weird shadows, I decided to give the new Hatch Baby Rest a whirl. This means you can set custom programs that get your child on a healthy sleep schedule, letting him know when it’s bath time, bedtime or when it’s OK to get up in the morning. The customized 11 sounds the Hatch Rest offers allowed me to find a sound and volume level that worked well for my son, as well as drown out the extra noise from the adjoining kitchen. You can even customize what color you choose, using the app to move the curser around a color wheel to get the perfect shade of green or pink or blue, etc. I wished there could be a ‘night light’ setting and ‘lamp’ setting that I could switch back and forth from and also had brightness levels.

JUST as I felt like the lowest volume on the previous model was fine, but slightly on the louder side, they sent this updated version which not only has a wider range, but I still have room to lower the volume even more in the future. It’s an all-in-one nightlight and sound machine, but it’s also a tiny little miracle that you plug in and can control from your phone anytime. The Hatch Baby Rest is fully customizable and programmable to match your unique child’s sleeping patterns, and help train them to a sleep pattern that’s more healthy (like getting their full 8+ hours, instead of waking up at 4 AM).
