It is perfect to use when on the go, changing nappies, doing a feed, making a Zoom call, taking a walk, catnapping at Grandma’s, and more!ĭid you know? People talk about two 'cousins' of white noise sounds: pink noise and brown noise. It is super cuddly on the outside and has award-winning SNOO sounds on the inside. And we put those super-effective sounds-plus a few more-into our popular little SNOObear. Our SNOO sounds are specially engineered to be perfect at soothing fussies and aiding sleep. On the other hand, music, heartbeat sounds, ocean waves, and nature noises…they are not so helpful for improving all-night sleep. Loud, whining sounds-like a hair dryer, vacuum, or exhaust fan-are great at calming fussing, but more rumbly, droning sounds-like filtered rain on the roof-is much better at inducing sleep. While many white noise machines and apps advertise 20+ sounds, just a few correctly engineered sounds offer that magical womb-like shushing that works best to lull babies to dreamland. These are more like the sounds Baby heard in the womb…and the sound babies prefer! (When sound bounces off the velvet walls of the womb, they are filtered through the sea of amniotic fluid, which removes high pitch sounds, leaving just a deep thunderous rumble that babies love.) That sound is terrible for getting attention, but fantastic for lulling us to sleep. On the contrary, low-pitch sounds are droning and hypnotic-think the monotonous rumble of a car and planes, rain on the roof, or listening to a boring lecture. ![]() These sounds are great for getting your attention (and even calming baby crying), but they are terrible for sleep. But there are actually two types of white noise-high pitch and low pitch-and only one induces sleep! High-pitch white noise is harsh, hissy, whiney, and annoying-think sirens, alarms, beepers, screams. People talk about white noise as if it is just one thing. 2: Assuming all white noise-waves, rain, nature sounds-work equally well Hearing the normal hum of home for many hours a day helps children master the nuances of all the interesting sounds around them, such as speech, music, and so forth. ![]() Just keep it in your back pocket to aid sleeping or calm fussing. Plus, as babies pass through infancy, the sound helps them sleep despite outside distractions, such as tellies and passing trucks, or inside distractions, such as teething, mild colds, and hunger.ĭid you know? You are not supposed to use white noise all day long. Oh yeah, I recognise that sound.Now I will have a nice little snooze. Within weeks of using white noise, your little one will link white noise sounds with the pleasure of sleep. The good news? Using the right white noise often helps parents sidestep these issues. Teething discomfort can be just throbbing enough to rouse your little bunny out of light sleep. Weaning from being swaddled means your little one can startle awake more easily. And when they lightly wake during the night (as all kids and adults do) they want to see your smiling face and be cuddled in your arms. The calming reflex, which is nature’s 'reset button' to quell crying and induce sleep, fades away, so the jiggly, loud shush of the 5 S’s that worked like a charm at 2 months may have lost its magic.īabies become super social. Yup, the dirty little secret of infant sleep is that it is common for sleep to suddenly fall apart after the fourth trimester. Sleep can literally flip back to the brain-numbing, every-2-hour-waking that you thought you left far behind in the 'old days,' right after birth. Plus, white noise can help prevent sleep disasters that often derail baby sleep between 4- 12 months. White noise can make good sleep better…even for easy babies. 1: Skipping white noise because Baby sleeps so well Here, I set the record straight! White Noise Mistake No. But there are some common misunderstandings about how to use white noise to aid your baby’s sleep. Woven together, these sounds work in harmony to soothe fussing babies and to boost sleep. Similarly, white noise is a mix of all different pitches of sounds blended together.
