I recommend this product!I’ve tried a lot of sound machines from Frida to off brand to Alexa, I can honestly say that Hatch has outdone themselves. The music is good for the me as mommy and for the baby, and I can actually soothe through it too! They give you options for sounds and it transitions smoothly so it’s not abruptly low then loud. The only con I would say is the overall look is not that eye catching. This is a luxury product because of the cost and value but it doesn’t look like one.

Al principio cuando lo compré tenia dudas del producto porque sentia que era demasiado grande y poco atractivo pero que sorpresa cuando lo abrí, era con estilo minimalista y muy bonito y su forma hace que quepa en cualquier espacio, las luces que emite son muy lindas y mi bebe ama la funciòn de luz multicolor, los sonidos de ruido blanco la verdad no es tan agradable pero el de la cascada, de ventilador, las canciones de cuna descargables son mis favoritas y lo mejor es que se puede regular los decibeles del volumen tanto como uno quiera. Ah por cierto el tap del aro superior es demasiado ultil y practico.

This is my first ever Amazon review, but I loved this product so much that I felt I had to share my experience! I bought this out of sheer desperation simply for the “ok to wake” function. My 18 month old had been waking between 5 and 6am for over 6 months, and literally nothing I did helped him sleep any later. We already had a cheap white noise machine, so when I first heard of this product, I balked at the price, thinking I didn’t need it for the other features. I first purchased a cheaper “ok to wake” product, but found it difficult to operate, and poorly designed and made. I finally purchased the Hatch Rest, thinking if it didn’t work out, at least Amazon would let me return it.Now, I had serious doubts about my 18 month old’s ability to understand and abide by the “ok to wake” concept. But mom needs a little time to herself in the morning, so I was willing to give it a shot despite my reservations. The beauty of this product is the app and Bluetooth capability. I set the clock for 6am the first night and told my son that when the light turned green in the morning, he could get up for the day. For the record, my 18 month old can only say about 10 words… but he seems to comprehend a lot. The next morning, he woke at 5:30. I wasn’t about to let him cry for 30 long minutes, so I opened the app, changed the wake up time to 5:35, and then when the light turned on, went into his room and did a big dramatic wake up. I said, “look, your light is green, that means it’s time to wake up!” I then turned on the lights, threw open the curtains… made a big deal of it. Over the next few days, I gradually set the clock back little by little, and he started sleeping a little later each day. After a week, I was able to set the clock to 7:30 (my ideal wake up time for him). He woke the first few days a little earlier, and I would just tell him through the baby monitor talk function that his light wasn’t green, and I kid you not— he laid down and went back to sleep until the light came on. Now if he wakes a few minutes early, he just plays in his crib and waits for the light. I can’t believe that this worked, but it did. And now I feel like I have to spread the word!I actually loved this so much, that I bought a 2nd one for my 3 year old. He loves it. He plays in his room until his light comes on at 7:30, and also stays in his room to play or look at books during “quiet time” in the afternoon. He loves choosing a nightlight color and sound on the app every night. I truly cannot say enough positive things about this product… try it!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND – My son is 6, he has always been a very light sleeper and we’ve been through MANY white noise machines over the years. I was actually very happy with our current one, however, he had an “ok to wake” clock as well as a star projector all on his nightstand and it was just too crowded. I paid about the same for our current white noise machine, so the price wasn’t a big factor for me.PROS:-lights: color and brightness both fully customizable.-volume: many kids white noise machines aren’t loud enough for us (we live on a very busy corner, lots of honking and fire station nearby) Not the case with this one, at max volume, its WAY too loud.-loops: as he’s gotten older, my son has complained of being able to hear loops or patterns in the sounds (usually with varied sounds like rain or babbling brook). Neither the wind or TV sounds have discernable loops-quality: the sound quality and speaker are both great. We’ve had some that had flat/tinny sounds before.-ease of use: easy to download and connect to the app-programmability: this has been by FAR the greatest feature. I’ve set up 4 different auto on/off programs for SLEEP, WAKE, WEEKDAY, WEEKEND. Orange light w/sound =stay in bed and comes on at 7:30 pm Sun-Thurs and 8:00 pm Fri-Sat. Green light (with same sound and volume so as to not accidentally wake him up if he’s slept in) = ok to get out of bed comes on at 7:00 am M-F and 7:30 am Sat-Sun. I have the green light & sounds turn off at 7:30 on school days and 8 am on weekends.CON:-the ONLY hiccup we’ve had was the very first morning after programming. I had to manually turn it on the night before (since I set it at 7:45 pm which was after the weekday “stay in bed” timer should have started) so the next morning it was still in “manual” mode and the green light never turned on. I noticed around 7:10 am when I heard him singing to himself, so I used the app to manually adjust the light color to green and heard him “ooh and ahh” in amazement. Since that first night, we haven’t had any trouble with the timers. I’ve also turned on the toddler lock so he can’t put it back into manual mode.BONUS:-less bedtime struggle: I’m no longer to the one enforcing bedtime – when the Hatch comes on, he knows it is time to go to bed and there’s no arguing for or whining to the Hatch for “just 5 more minutes”.We just got an Echo Dot and I saw there was an Alexa integration. I read up on the features and really wish this had been around when he was an infant. You can log diapers, sleep times, nursing times, pumping times and all kinds of other cool stuff. Even so, as our all in 1 night light, white noise, wake timer – this thing has been amazing!

Very easy to use. I really like that you can have your favorites and there are multiple ways to get to them. Lights and sounds can be adjusted from your phone making it very convenient when you don’t want to disturb your child.

The product is amazing in the sense that it helps my child stay asleep and set a bedtime routine. The only problem is the schedule function can turn on at a set time but not turn off. So you can set a bedtime but, not a wake-up routine. The controls are very simple. but sometimes the touch has problems and if you don’t have wifi, then you can’t control it from your phone.

Definitely gonna need to buy another! The sounds are so crisp and don’t sound tinny at all, the light options are fantastic and great for late nights trying to not wake the baby, and the app makes it all so easy to use!

We love using the Hatch for a sound machine and night light for my kids. We bought our first one two years ago when my son was born and we loved it so much we bought another one when my second son was born. The app is easy to use and it always works seamlessly with my phone’s Bluetooth. It’s very easy to pack up, we take it with us every time we travel. Just plug it in and sync with your phone and it starts working. This second Gen now has a clock on it which is very helpful. The tap feature on top is the best, I just tap it once after tucking in each kid and it’s on the setting I programed. The sound can range very quite to pretty loud so it works in any setting. Same with the brightness, you can keep it very dim or it can almost light up the entire bedroom. This is a item I can say we use every single night!

I read all the reviews about the Hatch…everyone raves about it. I didn’t think it could be all that special, and I was mortified by the thought of spending $60 on a nightlight (I have always found those cheap plug-in LEDs to be perfectly acceptable). By the time my baby was 3 months old, I was desperate for sleep, so I decided to give the Hatch a try to see if it was as good as the reviews claim. Oh, it is. First night, the baby slept all night. Could that be a coincidence? Of course. It continued…most nights, the baby has slept all night. Again, maybe it is just the age. But now, I am a Hatch believer. Recently, I’ve fed the baby the last bottle for the night, and he hasn’t seemed sleepy at all. About a week ago, on a whim I decided to take him up to the nursery, where the Hatch was already on (automatically on per our daily programmed timer). Within minutes of getting into the nursery with the light and sound running, the baby went from wide awake to falling asleep. I’ve been doing it every night since then with the same effect. I love this thing. Regarding the features: there are a lot of sound options and most are great. My favorites are the rain setting and the washer setting, which are both very relaxing. The sound can go to a very loud volume…I keep the volume very low for the baby. It is high enough to drown out household noise after the baby goes to bed, but soft enough that I can’t hear the feedback over the monitor. There are a ton of light options – at this point, I don’t think all the options are necessary, but I do think they will be useful as the baby gets older, both in terms of being fun to change up, but also for signaling when it’s time to get up, etc. The program is easy to use – I thought it wasn’t working right for the first night – it takes about 24 hours for updates (or the first cycle when you first set it) to go into effect. Set it up, manually run for day 1, and the program will kick in for day 2. I love that the Hatch plugs in…batteries are just one more thing to do and I feel like it would go through a ton to use batteries on a nightlight. I love controlling it through an app. When the baby gets up early, it’s great to be able to turn off the white noise from my phone while the baby is nursing. In the evening, if the baby starts getting sleepy before the program kicks in, I love being able to turn on the Hatch from my phone to get him more settled. So, in conclusion, I love the Hatch. I think it has great features that work for all age groups. It seems durable. I think this was an excellent purchase.

**UPDATE**About 2 months ago, I received a notice that the Hatch Baby Rest has been update and they sent us a new one because they want to ensure customers have the best (First note – that is just EXCELLENT customer service). I must say, it is amazing! Almost all previous notes had been addressed!1. Range of volume is significantly more broadThis made a difference, especially with time. As my son got older, I am starting to lower the volume so he gets used to silence but also not rely on the Hatch Baby. JUST as I felt like the lowest volume on the previous model was fine, but slightly on the louder side, they sent this updated version which not only has a wider range, but I still have room to lower the volume even more in the future.2. They changed the plug adapter. Previously it was like a phone charger. Now it is a real adapter which is sturdier, more secure and less likely to get yanked out by my child.3. The app is a lot more user friendly and customizable. It is still simple but before the update, it may have been TOO simple. The only thing I’d wish they’d do is make shortcuts to my favorites. For example, when I set the schedule, you have to set the volume and light brightness, but I wish I could just set my favorite setting during that schedule.4. THE FADE! I mentioned before how it transitioned very abruptly and I wished it would have been smooth – they fixed it!5. Lastly, they did NOT address the light. Which I think may just be preference. Currently this device is meant to be a night light. It does just that. I wished there could be a ‘night light’ setting and ‘lamp’ setting that I could switch back and forth from and also had brightness levels. Sometimes I need to change his diaper in the middle of the night and would like to be able to see without turning on the light and this would be helpful. Other than that, works just as a night light which is nice to see the room as I shuffle around.*previous review*I never write reviews, however, I love this product so much, I really want to provide some feedback so if the company ever chooses to update, these are really easy features to add to make it even more spectacular. (note: my son is 3.5 months)(1) multi function: a. night light PROs: has several color options. this may not be a big deal for others, but the fact that orange, red and yellow hues enhance and help sleep for both baby and me is a major plus. then green and blue are cool tones that help with waking up (for me now while the baby is young, and then for him when he’s a little older). then with the cute sleeves to add later, i think the color options would help with his development visually and mentally CONs: light is not bright enough depending on size of room. i switched rooms and in our master the light was so low at the highest setting i couldn’t see to breastfeed in the middle of the night (let alone change a diaper!). i ended up having to add back my lamp that has a baby sensitive bulb just to see. would be nice of it had more of a range and could functions as a lamp in addition to night light mode. (i will say though, in the nursery, the light was JUST right at the highest setting) b. sound machine PROs: NOT ON A LOOP, which is a big deal. i’ve had to return a previous device because it was on a loop and i could hear the click with my sensitive ears. there are also several options in noises, and my son really enjoys the soothing music to wake up to. all the noises are naturally recorded rather than electronically made so it’s realistic CONs: there is a lot of opportunity here! when the device turns on or off and even when i change from one sound to another, it is VERY abrupt. i wished there was a fade in / out when turned on / off, or a smooth transition from one sound to another when switching. some times my son is asleep and i am stepping out of the room so i turn on the Rest, i have to move very fast to turn the sound all the way down and manually fade it in so not to shock him awake. i’ve also read other reviews that when the device is on all night, it has defects where the volume changes randomly – this happened to me too. i though i had a defected unit and called amazon for a replacement, the new one does it too! (here’s the kicker, when mine adjusts the volume by itself, it does it as a fade! so it can be done!). lastly, i wished there was also ‘heartbeat’, ‘vacuum’ and ‘stove fan’.(2) control options:a. top ring: such a clean look and powerful speaker with a single ring you and turn the device on / off by. it is VERY sensitive though, so be careful not to bump into it when the baby is sleeping or it will switch to your next ‘favorite’ settingb. base controls: nicely hidden from your child if they’re very curious and can be ‘toddler locked’ from your phonec. bluetooth from your phone: this is what won me over. in the middle of the night when you are sleep deprived, and you just want to adjust the volume…..SOLD. HOWEVER, note that all reviews have a warning that this is BLUETOOTH and not WIFI so i’ve noticed i will need to be like 10ft from the Rest in order to control it. this is a bit frustrating since it is supposed to be 30ft and i can’t even control the volume from the bedroom door…. also ‘favorites’ can only be activated by the top ring, you cannot select a ‘favorite’ from your phone to play…..not cooloverall, i love this device and look forward to using it for the years to come!one feature i’m not sure if it’s possible, but since it is already connect via bluetooth, if i could play my own music as well such as mini dance parties or youtube itsy bitsy spider or whatnot, that would put this over the top!!!
