Thanks to snu:mee for partnering with us. Today Brittany tells us why she loves her new snu:mee.
Have you ever heard of snu:mee? Probably not, because this baby monitor/noise machine is currently only available in Europe. However, they just launched their crowd-funding campaign in the USA, and we were lucky enough to get a snu:mee to try out.
I’ve been stuck in bed a lot during this pregnancy, so I’ve spent a lot of time researching different baby products. When it came to monitors and sound machines, though? I was stuck. I found some great sound machines. I found some great baby monitors. I found some combinations that were okay, but nothing special. When we were offered a chance to try a snu:mee for review, I jumped at the chance. Not only did the snu:mee work as both a sound machine and a baby monitor, we also got the chance to choose one shaped like a lamb!
When my mom called my dad to tell him to hurry home because we had a big surprise for him on the day of our pregnancy announcement, he had some worries. In fact, his first words were “what kind of critter did y’all bring home now?” It was a fateful statement, because we began jokingly referring to the baby as Critter until we could learn the gender. Jokingly, we planned a woodland critter themed nursery. Now, sheep aren’t woodland critters, but I’m pretty liberal with my definition of critter, and my parents have a herd of sheep. Sheep shaped things have slowly begun sneaking their way into the nursery among the raccoons, hedgehogs, and foxes. The snu:mee fits right in. If lambs aren’t your thing, there are a variety of other soft and cuddly sleeves, so you’ll be sure to find one to your liking.
As a baby monitor, the snu:mee has a 300 meter signal range with a secure connection. I don’t know about you, but after hearing news stories about people hacking into baby monitors, I am ALL about a secure connection!
As an MP3 player and WiFi speaker, the snu:mee can be controlled both by its buttons and by the associated app. I use my phone as an alarm, so my phone is always nearby. This makes changing the music or turning it off extremely convenient- I don’t even have to get up and walk across the hall to turn the music off, and risk waking a sleeping baby by creeping into their room. It has 4GB of memory to hold music, so there will be plenty of room for different songs in case you can’t find a lullaby to your baby’s liking! It also has a 60 decibel volume limit, so you don’t accidentally blast the music too loud for those little baby ears.
The app to control the snu:mee is available for free on iPhone and Android, so you don’t have to be loyal to a certain brand of phone to try the snu:mee out. What is your best advice for a new mom? What baby products were the most helpful for you?
I have never heard of this before. Sounds interesting! I’ve never used any type of noise machine, but I think it’s a great idea! I want to check this out!
This is a very cute product.
I like the idea of having the monitor so close to the baby like this.
This is so stinking cute! I swear by my noise machine, it is a must have in my book!
What a cute baby monitor. I love that it plays music and the kid can play with it at the same time.
This looks like a great baby monitor product. It has useful features that every mom would really love.
What a cute way to both monitor your kid and play music for them!
The snu:mee would be a great baby shower gift. I have been looking for a gift idea for a friends shower. She is going to love this.
I have never seen a monitor like this before. I would have loved one when my kids were little. I will have to show this to a friend that is expecting.
How clever is that!? I love how cute it is, AND I love all of the great features. My sister will love this!
This sounds like a great monitor. I love that you can control it from your phone that way you don’t disturb the baby while he/she is sleeping.
How cute is that! I am due with baby 6 in May, I really could use this for him.
I think a baby monitor was one of the best inventions ever!
A good baby monitor is a must have!! I love that this one can have music in it, perfect for the baby as the baby gets older!
That is totally adorable. I love that it even has a music player built in. Super cute.
That’s a really nice monitor. I love how unique it is. Definitely different then what I’m use to. I would buy this for some of the new mamas I know. It’s cute!
I love how cozy this little monitor is! It certainly is cute enough to fit into any nursery scheme too!

Such a cute baby monitor! Love the fact that it is secure and all of it’s other functions.
I think one of the most helpful things I used when I had a baby it was the monitor. I had a monitor that I could put anything underneath his mattress and would tell me if he would stop breathing. It was the only way I could sleep.
Wow. This looks like such a great idea. I love how it can multi task and has a build in MP3. This would be great for early to rise babies.
Seriously, how awesome is that? It makes life easier when products serve a dual purpose.
This is such a cute baby monitor. I’m done but I’d buy this as a gift.
My husband is one of 7 and his sisters & sisters in law are popping out babies left and right. They need to know about this.
