White noise to sleep?

Question

I've been reading about white noise and how it helps imfants fall asleep faster and longer. I tried it and it works like magic, however i don't want my baby depending on it to sleep everytime. Any thoughts ?

Answer

I can’t sleep without white noise and I’m 35 lol. It’s really not a big deal, especially now that we have cell phones. There are so many white noise apps, I can always find one to help me sleep. Most machines are portable too. My first is 5 and can sleep perfectly fine without white noise. My second is 2 and does not sleep unless there’s white noise.

Answer

Nope lol I've used it since day 1 with both my boys. They sleep great with ut but don't depend on it . My 4yr old asks for it and my 1 yr old knows it's bed time or nap time when I put it on. I use a liv3 rain video on YouTube

Answer

If there’s anything your baby should depend on to sleep; is that! Even adults use rain noises & what not to sleep . Don’t even stress about it!

Answer

My kids all use it (as do I) and there have been many “on the go” naps where no white noise machine is present. I’ve also forgotten to turn it on at night once in a while and I only realize once I’m going to bed, 3hr later 🤷🏻‍♀️ 
If it helps, my oldest is very into her routines for bedtime, like will call you back if you forget something minor and she has never once called back due to the machine not being on.

Answer

We have used a white noise machine with my 2 month old daughter since she was born. The way I think of it, in these early days, they could potentially latch onto any aspect of their routine that you use to help them fall asleep (their sleep sack, pacifier, music, nursing, etc.) The white noise doesnt do any harm and is definitely something you could easily keep doing if your baby ended up really latching onto it as part of their routine. It helps me fall asleep too! 😊

Answer

We use it and it helps so much. We have a portable white noise machine that cost like $12 it’s really not that big of a deal. i would rather him depend on that then a lot of other things

Answer

Switch to an air purifier and you have the noise and clean air 😂

Answer

I don’t care if he’s dependent on if. Where are we gonna be where I can’t have a white noise machine? For the first several months we used an app on our phone.
