White noise has a sound frequency that lets babies fall sound asleep. The white noise machine comes with many advantages. It blocks out other background noises such as the talking of other people in the house, sound of air, fan, and any other noise and provides comfort to the ears of the baby while they are falling asleep. These are the things to consider when buying a white noise machine for your baby.
1. Multiple Sound Options with Night Light
It is soothing for the baby to sleep in the soft light that emits from the white noise machine. Look for a device that has multiple nature sounds for you to choose from. With the white noise, the baby will drift into a deep sleep and you do not have to tip-toe when you walk into the baby’s room while they are asleep. The night light is soft and helps the baby fall asleep in the soothing light cutting down the disturbance of the background noise.
2. Automated and Customizable Options
The machine must be able to shut down automatically after 45 minutes or an hour. The automatic features lets you have a peaceful sleep without worrying about having to wake up and check on the sound levels. The white noise machines also come with many levels for sound options. These various times and levelers are lifesavers for parents and make it easy for them to take care of the baby. A few also come with sound systems that have whistles and bells and create a soothing atmosphere for the baby to sleep.
A few white noise devices have many customizable options that even adults can use them for falling into a slumber. If the built-in headphone socket is available, you can listen to the soothing sounds and fall asleep. This is useful if you have too many people around you and want to have a peaceful sleep or work without being distracted by the background noise.
A few devices come with the sound of a heartbeat that reminds the baby of the heartbeat sounds that it got used to listening when inside the mother’s womb. Sometimes these machines come embedded inside stuffed animal toys that can be placed in the baby’s crib.
3. Lightweight and Portable
Choose a white noise device that is lightweight and you can carry with yourself wherever you go. It makes it easier for the baby to fall asleep and sooth when you are traveling with the baby. You can carry it easily with you, charge it anywhere and use to make your baby fall asleep. Before buying a white noise machine for your baby check the rechargeable options. Adapter or battery rechargers are best options for this device.
4. Sound Quality
You can shell out a few more dollars for a better sound quality. A better sound quality ensures better sleep even at low volume levels. A few of the white noise devices that come at affordable rates might not have a clear sound at lower volumes. This is the option to look for when you are buying a device. You would not want to raise the volume to put the baby to sleep because of the bad sound quality at lower volume. Buy a machine that gives out crystal-clear output for the audio being played.
5. A sound system
These are the white noise machines that come with a sound system that activate the voice features when they capture the baby’s sounds. This is useful if you have older children as well as the baby sleep in the same room. It cuts the background noise, sibling’s conversations and puts the baby and the older children to sleep. You don’t have to wake up in the middle of the night to check on the baby as the sound system notifies you of any of the sounds and movements of the baby.
A white noise machine is useful for the entire family. Check for all of these features of the product when you go buying a white noise machine for your baby. You can play any of the nature sounds in the playlist, adjust the volume, get notified of the baby’s sounds and movements, and also carry it along with you when you travel.
