We received this as a present and we absolutely love it. It glows red, just like everything they see in the womb. It also plays relaxing harp music, heartbeat and white noise type sounds. You can set the length they play for and the volume.
I don't know if it's the music itself or our baby's association of it with sleeping now that we've used it for a few weeks but it definitely helps settle him off to sleep when he's still stirring a bit.
I love the cute design and I'd say the only negative is that it's a bit big to hang over his cot, but that's if we're really trying to find something wrong with it.
Definitely worth a try.

My little boy loved it when he had colic it really soothed him and I like how you have different soothing sounds and you can also have it loud or quiet. The little light is cute as well. Just a bit of a pain trying to put it in a safe place in a Moses basket as it doesn't clip onto a Moses basket like it can a cot so had to rest it on the bottom
We were bought Ewan as a gift. Before this, little one would not settle on her own. First time we used it she settled straight away. I couldn't believe it. 4 months on and she still goes to sleep with it on.
There are 4 options to choose from. We just use the same 2 but its good that there's a choice. She loves that she can hold the ears and will hold Ewan close to her. The internal light is also quite comforting and almost acts like a night light. The battery life is brilliant. We have only changed the batteries once in 4 months and we use it every nap time and at bed time.
I wish that it would stay on a bit longer than 20 minutes, I know the deluxe version has a sensor so it reactivates. This is a good idea.
I don't like that I can't wash it either. It is starting to look a bit grubby but I can't take the mechanism out.
I would definitely invest in another one in the future, but would go for the deluxe.
Ewan is a lifesaver! My daughter really struggled to sleep as a baby and woke a lot as soon as we got Ewan she drifted off within minutes and stayed asleep longer. I don't know what I would have done without him!
I was bought one and was dubious but it's an absolute life saver at bedtime for my one year old. Has 4 sound options and two volume settings. Only nag is that it isn't washable.
I had a lot of trouble putting my son down without him waking up shortly afterwards, he was always in my arms! One particularly fussy day I started hoovering and he fell asleep and stayed asleep. This led to friends recommending Ewan due to the different white noises he provides and it is the best thing I have ever bought. Not only does Ewan help keep my little one asleep but I am also able to put him down awake, put the Hoover noise on and my little one will fall asleep by himself! Ewan has been a perfect sleep aid for my little one. For me personally I find the 20 minutes timer great as it's long enough for the baby to fall into a deep sleep but doesn't keep me up. My little one also enjoys the light Ewan gives off and will happily watch it as he drifts off to sleep. Ewan does run through batteries very quickly especially if you use him for every nap time so I would also recommends using rechargeable batteries... and keep them handy!
Like I said, unpopular opinion but he just didn’t work for us! We were so shocked after reading up on it! We were recommended by a friend whilst being pregnant and where so eager to get one we where on waiting lists as they where out of stock! We were so happy when we finally received it and played with it before the baby arrived and where so impressed... we tried when baby was first born and the night light feature would distract him and then he would go back to crying so we thought maybe too young so kept trying. He is now 6 months and Ewan features in his cot but just really to play with now. We wonder whether (and I don’t mean to brag) but baby has slept through since we bought him home so maybe he is just not part of his routine enough because we didn’t feel we needed to use him. But very sweet and soft and lovely design.
If your thinking of buying a ewan, do it. You won't regret it, he's a super sheep. We have used him every night to get my son to sleep since birth, going from the heartbeat/womb sounds as a newborn to the calming harp music as he grew older. I couldn't be without the sheep now, he's one of my sons favourite bedtime toys.
We had a small issue with the feet stopping working and I contacted their customer services, they sent us out a brand new sheep free of charge. This was lovely of them, they didn't ask for the old one back like most companies would either, which is great because my son is very attached to 'broken ewan'. I recommend these sheep to all of my pregnant friends or family and I am looking at purchasing the newer deluxe model for my daughter when she is born later this year.

I believed this was the 'must have' product for a new baby - mimics the sound of the womb, comforts, aids sleep etc. Unfortunately it didn't work for us and some of the features were unreliable.
I purchased the Ewan deluxe with automatic restart function which is supposed to turn the sound on again if baby stirs. I found that this did not work all of the time and even clapping or shouting loudly did not have any effect.
The product is very well made, soft and of quality materials. The choice of sounds is excellent and the glowing heartbeat is comforting.
Unfortunately I wouldn't buy again due to the fact it didn't work for us and we had to replace the batteries so frequently which was quite expensive.
My little girl could not sleep without Ewan, she has had it since birth. I like the fact it has different options and it plays for a long time. It feels very secure and safe on her cot and I would recommend it to anyone
Comes on when baby cries, is a nice design, heartbeat sounds

The best thing this little sheep does is start when our baby cries! Most of the time it’s enough to send him back off to sleep again!
It has a dim red glow too which is a nice touch.
Settles baby well, different settings available, on a timer, lovely design
Weaknesses:
Goes through batteries quite quickly

Ewan has been a life saver! He settles our baby really well with the rain/heartbeat option ( he didn’t work for our niece though so depends on baby). There’s a switch inside to alter the volume etc. It goes off by itself after about 20 minutes so you don’t need to worry about switching it off. Velcro’s to our bedside crib so out of baby’s way. Only downside is that we have to change the batteries every month which seems a lot especially as we only put it on once or twice a day.
It's soft and cuddly, has different sounds to comfort baby
Weaknesses:
The batteries tend to run out quickly if used regularly

Ewan is a great little toy comforter, I like the soft heartbeat sounds and my 5 week old baby seems to like it too. The red glow is nice but we've since turned it off as we didn't want it to disturb him at night. It's so handy you can actually tie ewan to things so it's out of the way/out of reach but near baby so he can see it. It's aldi a nice soft cuddly toy too, it's not an eye sore and looks complete in a cot. Very happy and would recommend ewan!
We got one of these for our little girl when she was born. She loved her sheep and enjoyed listening to it while she went to sleep. We did have to keep pressing the button for it to start again. Overall a good product.
Can’t get my baby sleep without it now. Soft and cuddle and plays perfect sounds to get the baby to sleep.
The red glow helps my baby to sleep too. Only wish batteries lasted longer.
We struggled with to get out baby to settle for the first few weeks. We forgot that someone had bought us Ewan. Literally the first time we used him it worked and has worked ever since. Best baby purchase!
Ewan has been so helpful for our baby boy, he been with him every night since we came home from the hospital, my son doesn't go to sleep till I've turned ewan on. He's so fantastic I brought a second one in purple to have at nanny and grandads house for when my son is there. When we first came home from the hospital I found of my son was fussing when I out him in his moses basket as soon as I turned ewan onto the heartbeat sound he instantly calmed, ewan has been on every sleep and nap since. We love ewan and couldn't be without him.
Appealing to look at, nice tummy glow, good choice of sounds

Wish that there was a setting for longer than 20 minutes but nevertheless, I'd definitely recommend this product. Helped me get to sleep let alone my son! Good value for money, though I suggest using rechargeable batteries.
We love our ewan, my little girl loves it and i wouldn't get sleep without it. I love the simple yet cute design. It is a bit pricey but i would say it is worth it. The only downside would be that it is on a timer of 20 minutes.
This sheep is really good , it settles my daughter even now at 8 months. The only downside is it only lasts for 20 mins then it turns itself off. I would still however recommend this product.
It would be better if the sounds stayed on longer than 20 mins

Great product. It really helps to sooth my little girl. The different choices of loud or quiet sounds, light or no light is a real bonus. One of the better buys I have made. Secure fitting with the Velcro tail. Would defiantly recommend.
We bought this as our little girl would only settle on own if white noise was playing. My little girl absolutely loves her Ewan the sheep and bows she’s a bit older will often play with it. It comes with 4 different settings but our baby will only settle with the hoover sound with the heartbeat in the background but does enjoy the music now she’s older. She also will be amused by the red light in sheeps belly that lights up when pressed. I have recommended this product to many new mums who’s babies enjoy white noise the only downside I have found is that batteries do not last longer than 2 weeks in this product and we only use it a couple of times a night. Also when the batteries are running low the sheep will still light up but with hardly any sound so you have to replace batteries even though they haven’t actually ran out yet. Although spending more on batteries than I would like still love this product as my baby is now quite happy in her cot.
We had this as a gift when our daughter was born. She was preterm and was poorley in the first 4 weeks with an allergy and we found it really helped settle her. She’s 6 months now and still helps her calm down!
The Sweet Dreamers Ewan the Dream Sheep was designed to mimic the sensation of the womb as he emits soothing sounds and a calming pink glow which will reassure your baby or toddler at bedtime.
There are 4 soundtracks from which to choose: vacuum cleaner, rain, harp and the womb. Each one features the sound of a resting heartbeat.
Ewan has a 20 minute timer feature with automatic shut off. He attaches to cot bars, pushchairs or car seats for easy transportation.
