A Neat Product: The Womb Bear

A Neat Product: The Womb Bear

My wife and I went over to babysit our granddaughter (boy, that still sounds weird) on New Year's Eve so that our daughter and son-in-law could get out for an elegant meal without the baby. She was generally pretty calm, but at a certain point in the evening, Olivia would start crying as soon as we stopped holding her, and put her to bed.

My wife thought about this for a couple of minutes, and then remembered that someone, somewhere, had given our daughter a stuffed bear with a wind-up mechanism that simulates the sound of the human heart (assuming that you are still in the womb--there's a "wooosh" sound to it). Sure enough, we dug into the closet in the baby's room, put the Womb Bear in the crib, and then quickly transferred her from my wife to the Womb Bear--and Olivia just kept sleeping.
