There is no provision for demo mode in settings, so I would see about getting a new one.
In fact, yes. It appears that a dim light comes on with the sound of pushing the owl's belly. Light slowly dims, but music continues to play, and after some time, it will fade out.

There's nothing better than watching kids play with The following must be done This can be done by activating two senses at once. Lighting the abdomen can be turned on and off using one button. It is characteristic of the glow of the era Setlists of bugs aren't generally used for owls, but this is one. The volume settings are limited to two When these were at the loudest setting, it was too loud right next to the ear of a kid. When set for less loudness, it was still too loud but more tolerable. With the exception of one sound hole, I taped over all the openings and I hear a big improvement in Additionally, masking tape and a bright light would be helpful. I am not sure if this owl is soothing to babies when left unmodified, but modified or not, both of my children loved this and still have it by their beds In our home, it is heavily used. I have some hearing loss that is worse than what is typical for a 40 year old, and this is too loud (excess noise and unwanted ambient noise) on both volume settings. If you intend to make the above modifications, you may want to buy. In the future, the company may produce these in a way that is more pleasing to my taste in sound and light, and I think parents will appreciate that. It and its cousin, the glow bug, are just as popular with my kids regardless of how they are modified.
In order to shut it off early, press and hold the on/grow/start button. You can let it play for the 15 minutes or you can let it play for the 15 minutes and a half. This is not a loud speaker but it's an adequate volume (though not adjustable), and the music is not excessive or annoying. We like the toy because it is easy to clean and overall, it has been a big There are several reasons to consider this if you have a baby who has trouble sleeping or staying asleep! No matter how you look at it, it's a very cute toy.
But I wanted something I could throw in the washing machine since I'm sort of a weirdo. Upon closer inspection, I found that this guy is not only washable (after removing the sound/light box of course), but the light turns off after 5 minutes while the music continues for an additional 10 You can also turn it off again by holding down the button for about two seconds if you turn it on by accident I highly recommend it if you do not want to listen to the entire 15 minutes of music! concur with other reviewers who mention it's a little loud, but I believe it's a matter of personal preference and you can easily reduce the volume by taping over as much of the speaker as you like. This soft little owl warmed up to my son, and although he does not cuddle up to it, he usually drifts off to sleep before the music stops after the owl has been playing for a brief period of time.
It is very soft and fluffy on the outside, so it is easy for a baby to hold and play with. It is a good idea to remove the electronics and clean them if necessary. It is easy to open the battery compartment, but the switch to exit Demo mode can be used as needed (2 minutes activation as opposed to the standard 15 minutes). A few negatives The volume control cannot be turned off and there is no way to switch off the sound if you accidentally set it off (I bury it under stuffed animals so it doesn't sound if I accidentally press the button while picking up), but all in all its a fabulous.
It is very cute to see the little owl. Previously I had purchased a Fisher Price SnuggaMonkey for my other grandson when he was of this age and it was an easy sound machine to control and soft to sleep on. Although I had hoped that the monkey was still available, I was disappointed to find that it wasn't. So I went with the owl, but he isn't as soft and is quite a bit smaller than the other two. Having said that, it does not seem to matter to my grand baby, who would undoubtedly rate this little owl as five stars if he had the chance. * One extremely nice feature on the little owl is that it has chewable feet, which is perfect for teething babies.
Despite everything else that has been said, it is quite loud - but that is not a deal-breaker. It's not too major if I take it off a stand at night and put it somewhere far from the baby's sleeping area. If you want to play or drive with it, it's fine. Musical baby toys that only play one song and require you to press a button to play it again are annoying. In this video, there is a 15-minute playback.
My daughter's soothing stuffy uses a small button to play the music, which is harder for older babies to press. We like this because older babies can push the belly to start the music. A fun feature of the music is that it lasts for longer than the typical 5-10 minutes However, the downside of this is that the music itself does not seem to be as smooth as it might be with had a monkey for my older son 4 years ago (which is no longer available but is similar to the sea horse available now except that the music doesn't play as long) and the tone and melody of the owl are more "ping-ping-ping" than.
