Support natural melatonin production and make your sleep training journey easier with the Sunset Baby Soother from The First Years. Just think Red Before Bed and you’ll be on your way! The soother gently guides your baby to sleep the way Mother Nature intended, with a soft red light. Most nursery night lights and lamps increase alertness, but our red light has been tested and proven to only emit wavelengths with no disruptive blue light. Whether you’re creating the perfect nursery for your newborn, or looking to start sleep training, the Sunset Soother allows you to customize it for your family, from newborn to toddler. The included sound machine can be used either with or without the nightlight, for white noise that creates a womb-like environment and masks other sounds to help your newborn fall asleep and stay asleep. The nightlight can be set to stay on all night, letting you avoid the bright lights that stimulate both you and baby during middle-of-night changes and feedings. Choosing sunset mode provides a slowly fading light that leaves the room dark after thirty minutes. It can help your baby settle and is great for a sleep training routine. Toddler asking for a nightlight? Overnight mode gives the light they want without blocking the production of melatonin. Through each stage, Red Before Bed and the Sunset Soother are here to help. And it’s all based in sleep science. Sleep scientist Dr. Sofia Axelrod, co-developer of the soother, was inspired by Nobel Prize-winning research on the circadian clock and how light affects our ability to fall asleep. Blue light is nature’s way of waking us up. It’s emitted by most nursery nightlights, even if the color may not look blue. This type of light resets our body clock and increases alertness while also suppressing the sleep hormone melatonin. Our soother’s light, on the other hand, supports the natural production of melatonin. That’s why it’s the right choice for your baby. And when baby sleeps, you sleep too!
