Do you (or did you) use white noise for sleep for your baby aged 1 year old and under?

Question

Answer

We have a fan in our room, but don't have a special noise machine. Exposing kids to gentle household noise can help them sleep better in the future

Answer

No. I wanted her to be able to sleep well even if she didn't have this since it wouldn't always be available.

Answer

I used it for both of my older kids and now for my baby. Eventually they just don’t need/want it anymore.

Answer

I used it when my daughter was newborn to about 9months old. My heath visitor then said past the 10/11month age, white noise can interfere with sleep because it stops them reaching deep sleep as babies transition to sleep stages that resembles what we do. I didn’t think anything of it, but did stop using it and my daughter actually sleeps longer and better for it. I’m not sure if the health visitor was right or if it’s just because she is older, but white noise was no longer helping 🤔

Answer

Our kids have always had a turtle that plays music and has lights. It only plays for 25 minutes and then turns off. So they have it on to fall asleep but it’s not on all night.

Answer

No. We rocked him to sleep every night. My son is 8 now and we still rock him to sleep every night. White noise annoys him.
