Parenthood

Bringing your baby home can be one of the most exciting days of your life. Getting your baby to sleep will be another. It seems like your baby does not want to sleep or sleep very long at first. There could be many things disturbing your baby while they are trying to sleep that you may not even realize.

The noise of the refrigerator running, the hum of the air conditioner, the ticking of the clock, all these little noises can suddenly wake a baby from a sound sleep and then it will take forever to get them back to sleep.

To help your baby sleep better, you should get a sound machine or sleep machine. They come in a variety of different names such as sound conditioners, white noise machines, sound machines, and sleep machines to name a few. They have ones that have a heartbeat to make it sound like your baby is still in the womb. There are also ones available with natural sounds that resemble rain, waterfalls, a spring night, and many more. It has been noted that have many people use the white noise machine to drown out all sound and their babies sleep so much better. They do not wake up at night as much either. Many parents have given testimonies that their colicky babies rest much easier after they begin using a sound conditioner.

You can buy the table models that work very well in soothing your little one right of to slumberland. These white noise machines are so soothing for your baby; soon they will not be able to sleep without one. The idea is to stop all the sounds around your baby except for the one coming from the machine and it works so well your baby will be sleeping through the night in no time.

The sound machines today have different levels that grow with your baby. Start them out with the sounds of the womb and as they get older, you can pop in the CD of rainfall or a brook. These sounds grow with your child to help their sleeping patterns stay the same through out their small lives. They are so small and portable you can just tuck it into your diaper bag and take it wherever your baby goes so you will know they will have a great nap or sleepover at the grandparent's home. Many run on batteries so it is recommended to purchase rechargeable batteries and a charger. They have timers on them to so they will shut off automatically. This will save on your batteries as well. You never have to worry about going into your child's room and shutting it off which could possibly wake them.

Do you think your baby will outgrow the sound machine? No way…just, get different CD's, as they get older, they can enjoy the sounds of a waterfall or the beach. The CD's are great for not only infants but adults as well. You will feel so relaxed when you listen to these, you will wonder how you slept at all before. Living a stress free life will make you the happiest person around.
