In the quest for a few precious hours of sleep, parents are proving just how far they are willing to go. The market is flooded with products promising to ease the challenges of parenting, and it seems there’s no limit to what some will pay. Enter the Lulla doll, a sleep aid that has parents shelling out upwards of $300 for a single toy.
Developed by Eyrún Eggertsdóttir, an Icelandic mother and psychologist, the Lulla doll is designed with co-sleeping principles in mind. It imitates the soothing sounds of a parent’s heartbeat and breathing, purportedly helping infants drift off to dreamland. The claims are impressive: the doll is said to help babies not only fall asleep faster but also stay asleep longer, all while stabilizing their heart rates and fostering neurological development.

However, the popularity of this doll has made it a rare find, with bids on platforms like eBay exceeding $300, even though it typically retails for around $99. One distributor noted that the doll’s sounds are reminiscent of Darth Vader, which may be alarming to some. As one mother, Sarah Lopez, put it, “I found the sound a bit unsettling, almost like something from a horror movie, but it actually works.”
While $300 might seem outrageous for a doll, parents of non-sleepers might understand the desperation behind such a purchase. I’ve been there—my own child took until after their first birthday to sleep soundly, and if someone had told me a doll could change that, I would have jumped at the chance. If you think the Lulla doll sounds like a good idea, it’s available for pre-order at a more reasonable price of $71 from the creator’s website, with shipments anticipated in August. Good luck!
