What is your take on using white noise to help your little one sleep?

Question

I ask this because I am a mama with a two year old and never tried it with him he is a good-ish sleeper most the time but I'm expecting baby number 2 and I'm remembering the sleepless nights of having a newborn and I'm sure the newborn will wake up my son from time to time.  I'm willing to try new things this time around as I read a lot of parents swear by it however I have also read studies and reports suggesting it's not good as it can cause problems with hearing and so on.

Answer

Use a fan instead. They decrease the risk of SIDS by 70% and they make a soothing noise. My baby sleeps great with a fan!

Answer

We sleep with a fan on. I can't imagine sleeping without it. We even bring it on vacation.

Answer

I've used fans before and they work well. Recently I got a light up toy that shines stars onto the ceiling and makes ocean sounds for 45 min. before turning off. My LO loves it.

Answer

Always had a fan on in their rooms. I sleep with one as well.

Answer

Not trying to sound stupid but fan as in ceiling fan? Lol

Answer

I wouldn't use it constantly but I'd suggest the heartbeat sound instead that's a sound they are use to from being in the womb and relaxes them

Answer

I used the heart beat one on my foster baby. I got her at 6 months and she used it until she was just over a year. I think they are great. She likes the ocean one as well
