This oval soothing pillow has detachable patting arms and comes in versions with a smart patting arm, a remote-controlled music arm or a gift bag edition. It is filled with polyester fiber and red beans, weighs 1 to 2 lbs and suits newborns and toddlers up to 3.
Getting a baby to sleep often means patting for a long time, and the moment you stop, they wake. Parents wonder how long they can keep it up, and arms and backs get tired long before the baby does.
What people like about a soothing pillow is that it offers a steady, gentle rhythm. The patting arm continues the motion you would make by hand, the music arm and remote let you adjust things without leaning over and the soft oval shape gives a baby something cozy to rest against. Because the arms detach, you can use the pillow on its own.
When comparing baby patting pillows, check the arm options, weight and remote. Choose the version that suits you: smart patting arm, remote-controlled music arm or the gift bag edition for presents.
If patting is a big part of your bedtime routine, this pillow is one option to try. Supervise your baby and follow your pediatrician's safe-sleep guidance, since a pillow should not stay in the crib during unsupervised sleep.
