K.A.

I bought this product because my 27 month old daughter was climbing out of her bed consistently between 2-3 am. I would hear her door open and before I could even put my feet on the floor, she was at the side of my bed. At first I tried walking her back into her room, telling her that it was still night time and she had to go back to sleep. This sort of worked but then I usually ended up falling asleep in her bed and then waking up again only to stagger back to my own bed. It was becoming a pattern that I wanted to stop and so after several weeks of interrupted sleep, I went searching for a better solution. I found the Sleep Buddy, read some of the reviews which all seemed very positive and thought it was worth a try. When the package first arrived, she was very excited because it was a surprise wrapped up just for her. She loved the idea of the Sleep Buddy and was very excited about setting it up in her room. I can't say that it worked right away though. For a few weeks, she still showed up by my bedside in the middle of the night but at least with the Sleep Buddy we could go back to her room and I could point out that the light was still on and she needed to stay in bed. It's the same message I tried to relate all those nights prior but for some reason seeing the light really seemed to register with her. It took about a month before the idea totally sunk in and I could see a difference in her sleeping pattern. I also tried to make a really made a big deal about the light EVERY night to get her used to it and I think that really helped. It's definitely not an overnight fix but if you are patient, it will work. Oh and we use it for naps too and it works great!
