The Best White Noise Machine for Baby to Sleep…
Shhhhhhhh! Baby’s sleeping! According to Dr. Harvey Karp, author of this article, there are 5 key S’s to a goodnight of Zzzzzzzs’s. He states in the book (which is one of my recommended mommy books!), that to calm a fussy, tired baby you can try swaddling, side/stomach position, shushing, swinging, and sucking.
The side/stomach position is quite controversial due to the American Academy of Pediatrics stating there is an increased chance of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (also known as SIDS) when a baby is placed on their stomach to sleep.
But for the rest, I found my babies calmed down and slept soooo much longer when they were swaddled, sucking a pacifer, swinging, and/or if there was white noise.
