Soothing background sound can help your baby get to sleep faster and stay asleep longer. Your little bundle of joy came into the world used to background sound in-utero - the beating of your heart and air moving through your lungs. Some think this is why so many newborns and babies find a low hum comforting and need their accustomed white noise to fall asleep. Silence magnifies all the background sounds that keep baby awake at night, while white noise masks and covers. One study of newborns found 80 percent exposed to white noise fell asleep within five minutes, compared to only 25 percent of newborns without the background noise.

Remember, American Academy of Pediatrics recommends sound no louder than 50 decibels (about the sound level of a quiet dishwasher). Use a sound meter app to measure levels and set accordingly.

ENJOY!!
