Replacement for Fisher Price Aquarium for transitioning to big boy bed

mstavish79 · February 2011

Xander has been doing well with his transition to a twin size bed these past two nights. Last night was a little rough- he woke up around 12:30 but that was also when DH came to bed so I have a feeling he just woke up because he heard him. Of course DH just brought him into our bed (chose the easier route right) but he was awake again at 3 am just crying. I brought him back into his bed and he settled down in no time with his aquarium with lights/music that he used to put himself to sleep in his crib. Right now I just have it leaning against the crib rail but it is very heavy so I remove it after he falls asleep. I have a feeling he would just turn it on and settle himself back to sleep if he were to wake up in the middle of the night (much like he did in his crib). It's not safe to leave in his bed and there is no way to attach it to the bed rails we have. So I'm looking for some sort of stuffed animal that has lights and music with a timer. I know they just had them on kidsteals or babysteals but I cant remember or find what the name of the stuffed animal was. I was thinking the glo worm too but was wondering if anyone else had other ideas or thoughts about the glo worm. I hate to spend more $$ an yet another stuffed animal and it not be used.

DD loves her gloworm seahorse. Link here.

Another vote for the seahorse here. The music lasts a lot longer than the glow worm.

Ditto the seahorse!! DS loves his. We've already realized we're going to have to buy another one for baby #2.

We have My Pal Scout. It has a button for "bedtime" music that DS knows, but the other buttons can be distracting when you're trying to get him back to sleep.

Another vote for the seahorse, Tony loves his. He doesn't use it as much anymore, but used to use it every night:)

We've been using the seahorse ever since C's aquarium fizzled out. I think it's a little loud though - we usually put a piece of duct tape over the speaker (inside the stuffing).

Thanks for the recs. Seahorse ordered on amazon and on it's way!

I don't know why I didn't think about this before we moved him into the bed. That way we could have introduced the animal prior to. Oh well, all part of parenthood right?
