Bites & Bytes de Alexandre Canijo

Descobri hoje, por acaso, e através de uma foto do filho mais recente do Andy Sowards, este “pequeno baloiço” para bebés… Digamos, que é minha parte geek de pai a falar mais alto…

Mas digam lá, se não está algo excelente para embalar uma criança…

Chama-se SweetPeace, e é da Graco e está disponível cá em Portugal (felizmente).

Para os futuros ou recentes pais, eis um produto que deveria constar na vossa lista de compras (na minha já está)

Leiam este excerto de uma crítica feita neste site:

“Graco Sweetpeace – Really Lives Up to the Name

Q: You are about to be stranded on a desert island and can only bring one piece of baby paraphenalia with you. What do you bring?

A: The Graco Sweetpeace (and a whole lot of batteries if there are no plugs!)

…

The Sweetpeace was designed to mimic the swaying motion that your baby enjoys in the womb, or when cradled/rocked in your arms. Multiple positions allow you to tailor the motion to your babies’ preference – side to side or back to front, head facing in or out. Multiple speeds also allow you choose how fast or slow, baby sways. You can also adjust the angle at which baby sits, from reclined to more upright…

Perhaps taking this seat with me to a desert island seems a little frivolous but not when you factor in the many uses. Our baby can sleep in the Sweetpeace, be entertained in the Sweetpeace, and when he is a little older, he could even be fed in the Sweetpeace. It’s practically the perfect place to put him down. And let’s face it, as much as we love and adore our babies, we do eventually have to put them down.

If you’ve ever dealt with a colicky baby, you will especially appreciate the magical soothing properties this device has. Right after you manage to catch a few hours of precious shut eye. When combined with the included swaddling blanket and pacifier, it’s almost foolproof. I credit every single four hr stretch of sleep I have had in the last month (and my ability to string together a sentence) to Graco.

…

Finally, the Graco Sweetpeace Soothing System offers parents excellent baby soothing advice and instruction on their site. This education and support material can be invaluable to the sleep deprived parent of a colicky baby. By bringing in baby soothing experts and providing this material, Graco shows a level of commitment that is unmatched by other companies.”

Não é preciso dizer mais nada… Estou convencido…

P.S.: Thanks, Andy for the heads up on this swing.
