At night we use the white noise app on an old iPhone and we start it before DS goes to sleep and it stays on all night. We use the ocean waves track although I have read that actual white noise is the best. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/white-noise-2#post-175440 Thu, 31 May 2012 20:53:35 +0000 mrs. bird 175440@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had a white noise machine that used to turn off after an hour, I would always wake up when it stopped! Now I have an app on my phone (I think it's called sleep machine, you can make your own sounds and adjust the level of each sound and the volume- love it!) and leave it going until it's time to wake up. I sleep much better, so I would assume it would be the same for a LO. I guess my answer is: once we have a LO, my plan is use continuous white noise. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/white-noise-2#post-175425 Thu, 31 May 2012 20:45:48 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 175425@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just got the ecotones sound machine. Oh my goodness, it's like the rolls Royce of white noise. We're going to do it all night tonight, but there is a 120 minute option. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/white-noise-2#post-175405 Thu, 31 May 2012 20:32:10 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 175405@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used to use a Sleep Sheep that shut off after 45 minutes, when he would be transitioning sleep cycles = NO GOOD. Now we use an iPod + speaker dock with an ocean sounds track on repeat all night. Much much much better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/white-noise-2#post-175375 Thu, 31 May 2012 20:16:46 +0000 prettylizy 175375@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a sleep sheep but it wasn't loud enough. DH downloaded some white noise tracks on iTunes, burned it to a cd and we just plugged in an old cd player in her room and put it on repeat! Working great so far </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/white-noise-2#post-175071 Thu, 31 May 2012 18:07:57 +0000 heffalump 175071@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use a fan for white noise because I read that air circulation helps reduce the risk of sids. We leave it on when she sleeps. Plus, it drowns out noise so she's less likely to wake up and she wakes up randomly in the middle of the night and gets herself back to sleep, I feel like the white noise helps with that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/white-noise-2#post-175070 Thu, 31 May 2012 18:07:28 +0000 Mrsbells 175070@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yeah I like the idea of keeping it on at night atleast til she is deep asleep. My baby sleeps very lightly for the first 30-1hr and randomly switches back to that light sleep. So I think I will keep it on all night </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/white-noise-2#post-175063 Thu, 31 May 2012 18:05:40 +0000 skibobrown 175063@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use the sleep sheep. It shuts off after 45 minutes. Sometimes I turn it on again in the night if I hear her starting to wake up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/white-noise-2#post-175061 Thu, 31 May 2012 18:05:22 +0000 chopsuey 175061@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We leave it on all night and all day. I should turn it off when she's awake though. Gotta start saving energy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/white-noise-2#post-175052 Thu, 31 May 2012 17:55:23 +0000 sandy 175052@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use it all night so she doesn't hear all the noise in the house...like if she's sleeping in and I'm unloading the dishwasher and drop something or making all kinds if noise </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/white-noise-2#post-175049 Thu, 31 May 2012 17:54:24 +0000 Mrsbells 175049@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: it should be! usually my baby struggles to fall asleep but after seeing this on the dr oz show I tried the youtube track and it really made a difference </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/white-noise-2#post-175047 Thu, 31 May 2012 17:52:06 +0000 banana 175047@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We shushed AND used white noise. We had to pull out all the stops! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/white-noise-2#post-175045 Thu, 31 May 2012 17:51:43 +0000 regberadaisy 175045@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsbells: ooohhh. that might be helpful for sleep training then right?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/white-noise-2#post-175042 Thu, 31 May 2012 17:48:59 +0000 Mrsbells 175042@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: yes it does.
