Healthy, restful sleep for children depends partly on a regular bedtime routine. Jane Stewart explains why, and how singing bear LULLY can help
What is the importance of a bedtime routine for children?
A bedtime routine is hugely important for babies and children. A bath, a quiet cuddle and gentle lullabies at the same time every night, will help your baby relax and understand that it’s time for bed.
They depend on you to teach them routine. When the same thing is done at approximately the same time interval, baby quickly learns the sequence and will anticipate the next step. The sense of familiarity that results from a baby schedule gives a sense of stability and security.
LULLY is perfect to be used as part of a bedtime routine.
What is the scientific connection between lullaby music and soothing children?
Music has proven effects on our brains from childhood till adulthood. During the first couple of months after birth, the brain processes music in specialised areas. It helps the baby connect, communicate, move, relax, coordinate and feel pleasure.
Slow, soft, repetitive music will slow down the heartbeat and allows for calmer and deeper breathing.
Research has found that music and singing has a tremendous impact on how babies interact with their parents and the world. Gentle music and lullabies calm babies and put them to sleep.
When deciding on music for LULLY I chose a selection of songs with a lullaby tempo and ones that would graph perfectly to allow the little ones to gently fall asleep.

What’s the story between Jane Stewart and Lully?
The inspiration for LULLY was born via my own experiences as a mum and the challenges of soothing my children at bedtime and quiet time. Like all children they loved it when I sang lullabies, but the ‘soothing spell’ was broken the moment I stopped. My background as a musician and performer provided the building blocks to help develop a solution. First, I created a best-selling CD of lullabies for Marks and Spencer, and now after many years work, I have created LULLY bear – a beautiful soft teddy bear that harness all the therapeutic benefits of music to promote relaxation and restful sleep, nurturing your child’s wellbeing as they grow.
LULLY is designed to grow and adapt to your child’s needs. Working as a gentle sleep aid in the early months, this soft, soothing bear calms at both bedtime and on the go, acting as a valuable companion on journeys or unfamiliar environments.
Where can I buy Lully and how much does it cost?
Currently you can buy LULLY online from my website www.luvlully.com.
I’m working on retail opportunities; however, I want to make sure I find the correct retail partner who shares my vision and passion. It has taken me a long time to develop and it is important that whoever I work with fully understands the concept.
