Okay, can we just take a moment to appreciate this magical little device? As a first-time mom who hasn't slept properly in months, the Hatch Rest has been an absolute game-changer.

The white noise options are chef's kiss - my favorite is the 'TV static' sound (weirdly nostalgic?) which knocks my little one out within minutes. And the nightlight? That soft amber glow is perfect for midnight diaper changes without fully waking either of us up.

What really sold me was the app control. Being able to adjust volume/light from my phone while half-asleep on the couch is parenting hack level 100. Though fair warning - I did accidentally turn on ocean sounds at max volume once when fumbling with my phone at 3am... whoops!

The time-to-rise feature is genius too. My toddler now waits for the green light like it's Christmas morning instead of barging into our room at 5am. Worth every penny just for that extra hour of sleep!

Only con? The Hatch+ subscription feels a bit nickel-and-dimey when you've already paid premium price. But honestly? I'd buy this again in a heartbeat even without those extras.
