I’ve always wanted a gentle sunrise alarm clock, so I jumped at the chance to try the Momcozy Sunrise Echo.
But it’s not just an alarm clock, as I was about to find out. It also works as a gentle night light and a sound machine.
I’ve been using it as night light for when my toddlers wake at 4am and it’s perfect for reading before bed, but it really would have come into its own during the new-born phase.
I used a Himalayan salt lamp as a night light during the baby years - but the Momcozy Sunrise Echo is another level.
There are seven colours to choose from for your night light which you can dim or brighten according to your needs - and you can turn the dial up to make it bright enough for a reading light before bed.
For helping babies and little ones off to sleep there are 30 soothing sounds including lullabies, nature sounds and white noise, and you can set these to power off after an hour.
You can simply hit the button on the top to turn the light on and off, which is great when you’re getting up several times in the night with baby but want minimal light disturbance - or you can leave it on low all night.
That said, it’s still great now we’re out of the baby years. We’ve been using it as an alarm clock; it has five alarm sounds, a digital clock and a sunrise light, which wakes you with a mellow glow just like the morning sun for a tranquil wake-up.
If you’re looking for a great gift for a new mum, or you are expecting a baby and are thinking about getting a night light or sound machine, the Momcozy Sunrise Echo is a great option - plus it doubles up as a great alarm clock once the sleepless nights are a thing of the past.
