Use as early as possible.
Use Babiage Doodoo from the very first day. Ideally, take it to the maternity hospital. Babiage Doodoo has been used successfully in hospitals until the age of 12 months, even when the baby did not have a Babiage Doodoo at home. However, its effectiveness decreases with age and parents are advised to try Babiage Doodoo before buying it if a child is more than four or five months old.
Each time your baby goes to bed.
The best results are achieved by parents who use Babiage Doodoo every time their baby goes to bed (night and day). A regular routine has a reassuring effect on babies who otherwise feel somewhat insecure at bedtime.
In some cases, 2 to 3 days may be necessary.
Some babies do not react immediately to Babiage Doodoo's sounds. This is completely normal and may last 2 to 3 days. Use Babiage Doodoo every time you put baby to bed, day and night and you will soon notice its efficiency in soothing your baby to sleep.
Away from the baby.
To hear the Babiage Doodoo properly, place it as close as possible to the baby, but not so close that he can reach and grab it during the first few months. Although the soft toy and sound module meet all safety standards, do not allow the Babiage Doodoo near the baby during the first 6 months. Babiage Doodoo comes with Velcro® on the paws to attach to the cot. Always turn Babiage Doodoo's tummy towards the baby so he hears the intra-uterine sounds properly and so that the Babiage Doodoo sound module can hear your baby properly when he cries.
Is baby allergic?
If you think so, do not use any plush animal.
IMPORTANT: Babiage Doodoo may be used without its plush animal. In this case we recommend that you suspend the audio unit to the cot rail but remember not to leave the sound module within reach of baby.
