It helps stop much.</p> <p>My older is 3.5 is ben a little hard finding good stories, but I have a handful at really like. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/music-at-bedtime#post-2857276 Sat, 17 Nov 2018 17:07:30 +0000 pinkb 2857276@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Super old school lol. I use a music box that you twist up and it only stays on for like a minute. We have used it since he was a baby and he still wants it on and he is almost 4. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/music-at-bedtime#post-2857268 Sat, 17 Nov 2018 13:26:10 +0000 looch 2857268@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sonos. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/music-at-bedtime#post-2857256 Sat, 17 Nov 2018 08:52:47 +0000 misolee 2857256@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Echo dot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/music-at-bedtime#post-2857253 Sat, 17 Nov 2018 08:48:06 +0000 SweetCaroline 2857253@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughter uses my old boom box and CDs. I get CDs from the library a lot but she also has her own. I prefer the lullabies but she much prefers "silly songs". I do want to get a smaller CD player, but might just resurrect my old shuffle and get a cheap speaker instead. </p> <p>DD is almost 4 and we've been doing this for about a year, also to incentivize her to stay in bed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/music-at-bedtime#post-2857245 Sat, 17 Nov 2018 06:14:09 +0000 Becky 2857245@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have an old iPad we use, and I just YouTube “lullabies” or “nighttime music” or something like that each night as there are videos that are like 8 hours long. I just put it on a high shelf in the closet (which remains open) so they can’t reach it. An Echo Dot would be my ideal choice though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/music-at-bedtime#post-2857239 Sat, 17 Nov 2018 00:44:26 +0000 GoGoSnoGirl 2857239@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use a little CD player alarm clock to play a lullabies CD. We have some music on a little iPod shuffle, too, that we've attached to a portable speaker when traveling. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/music-at-bedtime#post-2857236 Fri, 16 Nov 2018 23:25:42 +0000 Foodnerd81 2857236@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 5 year old has an echo dot in her room. She uses it during her quiet time in the afternoon (well little sister is supposed to take a nap). You could probably set a play list on it but I don’t actually know how. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/music-at-bedtime#post-2857234 Fri, 16 Nov 2018 22:55:49 +0000 hitchhiker 2857234@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just leave my phone in their room until they fall asleep. My friend said her parents brought her old boom box and hey kids have been listening to audio books on CD (and tape!!). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/music-at-bedtime#post-2857233 Fri, 16 Nov 2018 22:38:13 +0000 lady baltimore 2857233@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If your LO listens to music while falling asleep, what do you use to play it? I am thinking that music may help DD, almost 3, with staying in her bed at bedtime, but I am not sure what is the best way to supply it. I am pretty old school, so my first thought is to get her a small CD player and burn some soothing songs on to a CD, but I know that there are higher tech options available. What do you use? </p>
