I was chatting to my friend Sindy the other day and she came across a lovely cot mobile which she thought I'd like.

It's the Tomy Winnie the Pooh Light Up Cot Mobile. I really liked this but I had a look around to see what else I could find before buying the first one that comes across.

I saw East Coast Sweet Island Dreams Mobile on Amazon. This includes a remote control too.

John Lewis have this cheap but cute version the Jingle Jungle Mobile. It has very nice colours but with only one tune of "A Wonderful World". The good thing about this mobile is that it comes in pastel colours which helps the baby to calm down. Bright colours stimulate the baby and that's the last thing we want when putting him/her to sleep!

I still preferred the Tomy Winnie the Pooh one. So, I sent a quick email to my husband attaching a picture of the mobile and as soon as he said he likes it I ordered it :)

It arrived a few days ago and after a trip to the super market to buy 4 C batteries (had forgotten about this batteries - haven't used them since my childhood!) we assembled the thing and got it to work. The characters are so nice, you have 3 songs from Winnie the Pooh and a night light. You can make the characters go round or stay still. And, the characters are detachable for when the baby grows older and can play with them.
