A plush otter with a mechanism inside that produces a slow, visible rising and falling motion in the body, mimicking the rhythm of breathing. Newborns tend to settle against it because that rhythm is what they are used to being held against. It also plays up to 30 minutes of lullabies, gentle sounds and white noise with adjustable volume, and has soft lights that fade with the audio. The plush shell is machine washable once the electronics are removed, which matters more than it sounds for anything that lives in a crib. It runs on four AA batteries, included. Best fit: newborns from 0 months, crib and bassinet soothing, and baby shower gifting.
