In fact, it can actually inhibit the production of melatonin. Blue isn’t a colour that helps that production of melatonin. I didn’t like that the Gro-Clock glowed blue all night long. I researched a few different clocks (Gro-Clock, LittleHippo Mella, & the Hatch), but finally settled on the Hatch Baby Rest. I knew I needed a toddler clock to help signal that morning was here, instead of just allowing my son to wake whenever he felt like it.

I highly recommend waiting to do this transition until your baby is as close to 3 as possible. After 2 weeks of climbing, my husband and I made the mutual decision to transition him out of the crib into a bigger bed! He was 2 years and 11 months old. That was until he started scaling the crib WITH his sleep sack on and managing to get himself out at any given opportunity. He was contained, content, and I didn’t worry. I was dreading the day that we’d have to switch him out of the crib. I’ve heard about the Hatch Baby Rest from many parents while working as a sleep consultant, but I never really needed anything like that for my own son…until he started waking early (5:30-6am) once we transitioned him to a big bed.
