snu:mee by Baby Stars Rock2Sleep is a new device for babies and their parents. This modern music box with a baby monitor and MP3 player is three devices in one. No longer do you have to suffer through the repetitive baby tunes on your child’s nighttime music soother or sound machines. Instead, enjoy music box renditions of popular pop and rock songs. You can even use the snu:mee‘s recorder function to record a song or book to play to your child in your own voice. Create a playlist of songs for different situations like nap time, bed time, or when a parent is away on travel.

snu:mee – Baby Monitor and Music Soother for Babies
The compact unit arrives preloaded with six lullabies, and there are more available through the Baby Star portal. You’ll find traditional lullabies as well as songs by popular artists that have been reimagined into soothing songs your kids will love. You’ll find Somebody That I Used to Know (click to hear), Someone Like You (click to hear), and more. There are also nature sounds and parents get six free downloads of their choice.
The snu:mee is connected via direct Wifi to your smartphone (WLAN) or via Wifi. This allows you to load new songs, create playlists, monitor the nursery, and talk to your child. The unit is very portable – take it on the road, to the park, or to grandma’s house. It has a built-in rechargeable long lasting Li-Ion battery (though if you plan to use it all night, you’ll need to be sure it’s plugged in). The snu:mee has a 300m signal range which Baby Star guarantees is a safe, low-radiation connection that’s interference free
Use the sleep timer and repeat function to keep the music going until your child falls asleep. Also, set up alerts to have your smartphone let you know when snu:mee loses its connection, there’s a sound in the nursery and more. You can also change the volume, the song, or turn it on/off from your smartphone, so there’s no more sneaking into the room to complete those tasks.
The music unit can be stored in a soft plush sleeve – there are plenty to choose from including Uma the owl which is the one we selected, Ruby the sheep, Joe the Monkey, Twinkle Star, Luna Moon, and more. These retail for $24.90 and make the snu:mee kid-friendly and portable.
snu:mee – Grows With Your Child
As your baby grows the snu:mee grows with them. A headphone jack allows older children to listen to their music privately, and the MP3 player holder can hold up to 4GB of memory, and supports MP3/4, AAC, WAV files. The snu:mee’s volume can be limited to 60 decibels to protect your infant’s sensitive hearing. This limit can be removed as the child gets older.
snu:mee – My Experience
I found the snu:mee easy to connect via WLAN, but connecting to our home Wifi has been more difficult (see the snu:mee Tutorial 6: Home Wi-Fi Connection Android video below). The sound quality is pretty amazing for such a small speaker, and the app is mostly easy to use. The song choices are fantastic, and I love the plush sleeves available as they make the unit baby-friendly and more droppable without harming it. The manual controls on the unit are easy to use though the symbols are a bit hard to distinguish as they’re molded into the material, so there’s no contrast to make them more visually accessible. If you like, you can completely control it manually, but connecting it to your smartphone lets you control it remotely.
This is an outstanding baby music soother that has the added benefit of being a nursery monitor, though I think most parents have gone to video monitors. Still, it’s an added feature that’s helpful. I’m looking forward to creating some original content for our granddaughter who’s due next month that can be added to her nighttime playlist.

What a cute idea for a baby’s room. I like that you can use it in more then one way besides the baby monitor.
Technology is really evolving! This will be so exciting to utilize by the time I have kids!!
This is almost cute enough for me to want to have another baby! What a clever idea!
I like that it grows with your child. These kinds of things are fun. 🙂
My baby monitors didn’t look anything like this! The owl design is so adorable!
I’m loving the owl. Super cute. Sounds like a great baby monitor and music player. I love that it grows with your child.
I love it. Owls are my fav. Baby things these days are so cute and so practical….yet needed.
I am in love with all of the baby monitor options that are available these days and that they can work with your smartphone makes it even more awesome! I will share this with those expecting friends I have!
That’s great that it grows with your child! You definitely get more bang for your buck that way!
Awww, this is super neat and I bet my sister with a new baby would love this! I have been there holding the baby while trying to balance a phone with comforting tunes playing.
This monitor looks absolutely amazing and includes so many features. My 8 week old nephew already loves music, so a device like this would be perfect.
There’s always music on in our house, so this monitor would be a perfect fit. Plus the design is so darn cute!
That is one great baby monitor! I love that it plays music, too. I love a product that pulls double duty.
Such a cute baby monitor. It gives lots of postitive emotions every time you see it))
This is super cute. I hadn’t heard of this before. I’ve never used anything like it but I think I’ll give it a look. Looks interesting!
I have never seen a baby monitor like this. This is so cute!
This is a wonderful product for moms. I love the features and capabilities. I’ll let my friends know about this.
This is so adorable! I think a baby monitor is a definite necessity!
We love our snumee! My daughter is due in April so we got one that looks like a lamb. It’s so cute in the nursery.
I think that’s so cool! I love that you can control the whole thing with your phone.
This looks like a great monitor. This wasn’t around when I needed one!
How cute. These look so cute and adorable. I love how it will grow with your child. It is more like a long term investment. Love this idea.
What a great baby monitor this is. It is super cute, too! I love it.
