Sore, cracked nipples: a gentle guide to the first weeks of breastfeeding
"Breastfeeding was more painful than birth" is something we read again and again. Why it hurts, how to fix the latch, and what soothes sore nipples while you heal.
Womb sounds, shushing and a soft red glow that switches back on when baby stirs

Babies spend nine months surrounded by a constant whoosh and heartbeat, so a silent room can feel strange to them. Ewan plays ten pink and white noise sounds, including a real womb recording and a shush. Each sound has a heartbeat under it, and a soft red glow comes on with them.
You can run it all night or set a 20, 40 or 80 minute timer. If you'd rather not play sound continuously, the cry sensor switches Ewan back on when your baby starts to stir, which can give you a few extra minutes before you need to get up.
The Deluxe is rechargeable by USB, so you won't be hunting for batteries at 2am. The control pod comes out so the sheep can go in the washing machine. For babies under 12 months, attach Ewan to the outside of the cot bars or place him beside the Moses basket, not inside the sleep space.
