Benefit of White Noise for Babies

Can you sleep in total silence, or do you prefer some background noise to help you sleep? I’m one of those light sleepers who needs just a hint of white noise to help me sleep!

White noise for babies can be beneficial for a baby’s sleep, especially when the baby is a newborn. Why? A newborn is born into a relatively quiet environment after being in a very, very noisy one. Think about it: inside the womb, the baby is hearing every single function of your body, from the swooshing blood in your veins or the thump bump of your heartbeat, to the whoosh of air you breathe in or the movement of your digestive system.

That’s some noisy stuff going on! 

We naturally try to keep things quiet around a baby, thinking that quiet will help him or her sleep, but often that’s not the case. Many babies actually prefer some quiet background noise that white noise can offer, like the gentle hum of a vacuum cleaner or the trickle of water coming out of a faucet.

White noise for babies can help a baby fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer. What sleep deprived parent wouldn’t love that?

With a white noise machine like the Cloud b Nighty Night Owl Smart Sensor, a baby can be lulled to sleep with either 4 soothing sounds or 4 gentle melodies.

Thanks to Cloud b, I was sent this very owl to review. It is so adorable, and super soft. My older kids are begging to sleep with it at night, but I’m keeping this one for the new baby!

The Nighty Night Owl Smart Sensor:

• Plays 4 Soothing Sound and 4 Peaceful Melody Options: – Mother’s Heartbeat/Twinkle-Twinkle – Spring Showers/Rock-a-Bye Baby – Ocean Surf/Classical Lullaby – Whale Songs/Tranquil Melody
• Responds and restarts its soothing sounds when baby vocalizes. If your baby awakens too soon from a short nap (you know, those ten minute naps when you really need to get the laundry done…), the sound starts up again to help lull baby back to sleep or keep baby calm.
• Has three sound sensitivity levels to adjust the sensor to environmental noise
• Restarts from the last melody played at the same sound level last selected. This is a great feature because you don’t want the baby to startle if the sounds come back on too loud.
• Has adjustable volume: This is great because when the owl is attached to baby’s crib, you don’t want it too loud, but if it’s kept at a distance in the room, you can make the sounds a little louder.
• Has two sleep-timer options with auto shut-off: 23 and 45 minutes: Sometimes your baby might take longer to fall asleep, which is why the 45 minute option is great.
• Has a velcro tab for easy attachment to baby’s crib: The owl can be attached to the crib, to a ring on a stroller or anywhere you want to bring it! I like that it doesn’t have a ribbon that needs to be tied in a knot in semi-permanence so that the baby is kept safe. The velcro loop is small to prevent
• Includes removable white noise machine: If your baby or toddler wants to cuddle with the owl after nap or bedtime, the white noise machine can be removed.

The Owl can be machine washed and dried when sound machine is removed. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate that about a toy, especially when so many of them can only be spot cleaned!

I honestly cannot wait to try this with the new baby. The sounds are so soothing (hmm…maybe I should start using it to sleep!).
