We will use it in our master bedroom to, hopefully, drown out some of the baby noises that will keep me up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-sound-machine-for-baby#post-1973641 Sat, 06 Dec 2014 14:20:27 +0000 photojane 1973641@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Same as @Danizaur:! It was cheap and we love it. Used for every nap and night time sleep for nearly 22 months, and it's still going strong. And the projector has been really helpful during some hysterical MOTN teething wake ups! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-sound-machine-for-baby#post-1973631 Sat, 06 Dec 2014 14:06:19 +0000 marionberry 1973631@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use Marpac Dohm here!

I'm more mindful now if not having it up too loud for sure, but I have never come anywhere close to the max volume on my machine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-sound-machine-for-baby#post-1973513 Sat, 06 Dec 2014 10:43:32 +0000 Meridian 1973513@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dohm! We used one for ourselves in our room for years, even before LO! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-sound-machine-for-baby#post-1973424 Sat, 06 Dec 2014 09:06:12 +0000 Little Misters Mom 1973424@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just a PSA, to fellow sound machine junkies. Some of the machines currently marketed for babies hit unsafe decibels and can damage hearing. I didn't know this and had the dohm right up next to the crib by his head. We moved it further away and he still sleeps fine.</p> <p><a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2014/03/03/health/infant-sleep-machines-at-maximum-volume-reported-as-hearing-risk.html?_r=0" rel="nofollow">http://www.nytimes.com/2014/03/03/health/infant-sleep-machines-at-maximum-volume-reported-as-hearing-risk.html?_r=0</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-sound-machine-for-baby#post-1973379 Sat, 06 Dec 2014 07:49:47 +0000 Mrs. Lion 1973379@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use an ipod and dock and made a playlist of a few songs I like to sing to lo and then 13 hours of ocean noise comes on after that. I like having the music option and that I can change it when I want. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-sound-machine-for-baby#post-1973371 Sat, 06 Dec 2014 07:44:00 +0000 Orchid 1973371@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: we. Had an app before. The Marpac was delivered. I prefer the sound of rushing air over the electronic sound we got with the app. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-sound-machine-for-baby#post-1973370 Sat, 06 Dec 2014 07:42:31 +0000 delight 1973370@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a sound machine by Conair. My MIL had it at home and wasn't using it. We love it. We always keep it on the "white noise" sound but there are different options. We had a sleep sheep for travel but I didn't want to use it at night because ours shuts off after 45 minutes. If we go away for a night I use an app on our phone. </p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.ca/Conair-SU1W-Sound-Therapy-Machine/dp/B000F54AN8" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.ca/Conair-SU1W-Sound-Therapy-Machine/dp/B000F54AN8</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-sound-machine-for-baby#post-1973327 Sat, 06 Dec 2014 06:24:57 +0000 Orchid 1973327@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: yes!

We've been using it every single night for 2.5 years. Side note - my acupuncturist uses that brand, too. Haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-sound-machine-for-baby#post-1973308 Sat, 06 Dec 2014 04:05:02 +0000 lamariniere 1973308@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use my old iPhone with white noise. I also have the white noise on my current phone and my iPad so that there isn't anything extra to take when we travel. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-sound-machine-for-baby#post-1973305 Sat, 06 Dec 2014 01:55:34 +0000 BananaPancakes 1973305@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: Its not a digital machine, so the noise is made by air blowing through holes. It's like sleeping with an ac unit or loud fan. Most digital machines cycle, which drives some people nuts and can cause light sleepers to wake. Plus it's super durable and I don't have to worry about charging it like the iPad, which has our backup sound machine app. And it travels well. At least that why it's a winner in my book. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-sound-machine-for-baby#post-1973304 Sat, 06 Dec 2014 01:50:03 +0000 BananaPancakes 1973304@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Marpac! We bring it everywhere! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-sound-machine-for-baby#post-1973222 Fri, 05 Dec 2014 22:23:40 +0000 Foodnerd81 1973222@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have this $20 one from homedics (<a href="https://m.bedbathandbeyond.com/m/product/homedics-reg-soundspa-reg-sound-machine/1013630208" rel="nofollow">https://m.bedbathandbeyond.com/m/product/homedics-reg-soundspa-reg-sound-machine/1013630208</a>). It's fine, we just use the white noise but it also has ocean waves and stuff. We are on our second after Dh dropped the first a little too hard. I like that I can turn it quite loud when needed (like when they are doing construction next store). It can take batteries so t won't shut off in case of a power outage and can be moved, but we usually plug it in. </p> <p>I think you need something continuous, not a sleep sheep that turns off after 45 min. </p> <p>I don't really understand all the love for the dohm. What makes it so special? Not asking rhetorically because I know people love it, just missing something. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-sound-machine-for-baby#post-1973177 Fri, 05 Dec 2014 21:33:27 +0000 chopsuey 1973177@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>marpac dohm. we have 2! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-sound-machine-for-baby#post-1973174 Fri, 05 Dec 2014 21:30:38 +0000 cascademom 1973174@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: this is ours or a version of it, the MyBaby one by Homedics. I got it at Target in the baby section after forgetting the sleep sheep. Best $20 I spent in the early postpartum days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-sound-machine-for-baby#post-1973164 Fri, 05 Dec 2014 21:23:30 +0000 hilsy85 1973164@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>another vote for marpac dohm! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-sound-machine-for-baby#post-1973162 Fri, 05 Dec 2014 21:22:27 +0000 winniebee 1973162@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>20 dollar homemedics soundscape from amazon.

It works for us. The sound quality is moderate, but I like that it doesn't need to plug in and it's small enough to bring around the house (although I usually only use it in DD's room these days). It really helps DD relax and get to sleep at night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-sound-machine-for-baby#post-1973136 Fri, 05 Dec 2014 20:55:45 +0000 catomd00 1973136@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>White noise baby app. Our spare iPad lives in her room. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-sound-machine-for-baby#post-1973133 Fri, 05 Dec 2014 20:53:42 +0000 Sparkler 1973133@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Danizaur: I love the munchkin one too!
