Bedtime for Baby

You know those machines that create soothing sounds -- a roaring surf, a gentle rain, the play-by-play of the final out of the 2006 World Series -- that help lull insomniac adults to sleep?

Think of Sleep Sheep as a more cuddly, cuter-looking device aimed at a much younger market.

Sleep Sheep is a plush toy that Mom or Dad can attach to the outside of baby's crib. Turn it on, and Junior will be escorted gently into Dreamland to a soundtrack of spring showers, ocean surf, whale songs or even a mother's heartbeat.

Sleep Sheep, by CloudB, is available for $27 at Pottery Barn Kids, 1075 S. Rainbow Blvd. For other retailers or more information, visit www.CloudB.com.
