Help Your Baby Sleep Better - With a White Noise Machine

Have you noticed how babies fall asleep so much easier in a running car or when a fan is running? A white noise machine reproduces this motor sound to aid your baby in sleeping through the night and developing good sleep patterns. Helping your baby establish a regular sleep schedule can be a challenge for new parents. White noise can help your baby sleep better and be less apt to startle awake from other noises in the house.

Babies have sensitive hearing and it is best to run white noise and other soothing sounds at the lowest volume that is effective. We recommend that if you try the various white noise sleep machines offered at Nature’s Tapestry, you use the lowest volumes and gradually increase the volume to find the lowest effective volume. We recommend one of two models of white noise machines that we feel are best for infants and small children.

The Sleepmate is a simple efficient design that produces a fan like sound. If your baby sleeps better with motor noises like fans, vacuums or cars, then the Sleepmate should be your first consideration. The Sleepmate actually makes its fan-like sound with a motor but unlike a fan there are no fan blades to worry about and no air blowing around. This has proven to be the most popular choice among people ordering sound machines.

The Life Sounds 440 by Marpac is a white noise machine made specifically for babies and young children. Life Sounds Baby Sleep Aid was designed to comfort infants and small children with a unique selection of sounds that includes custom lullaby, prenatal and environmental sounds. Life Sounds Baby Sleep Aid is perfect for "children of all ages" making it the one sleep aid that "grows" with your child to provide a comfortable sound environment throughout his or her life.
