There are quite a bit on amazon and I can't figure out which one is best/good. If you have one you like, which is it?
(I am only 10 weeks but DH is out of town, so I am having a little bit of "fun.")
-
We have the Graco sweet slumber sound machine and like it.
-
Marpac dohm!
-
We have the marpac dohm and like it.
-
conair. Small, batteries or plug in, multiple sound choices and volume.
-
We have a cheapie Homedics and it's totally fine. The Dohm wasn't loud enough with older bro across the hall!
-
Another vote for the dohm. We have one for each kid.
-
we used the PBK sleep sheep but most of the time just used the white noise app on an old iphone. worked just fine.
-
We also have the Marpac Dohm. I like it because it's a reasonable volume, it doesn't cycle, and it stays on all night.
We have a sleep sheep too (that's the one we got at first) but we stopped using it pretty early on because it would stop after a certain amount of time and LO would wake up.
-
This one
Whoa what a long link. Anyway, it has a projector and nightlight too and all kinds of sounds and volume levels. We love it and it helped out a lot.

dohm
-
Marpac dohm. The best!
-
@Danizaur: That's super adorable!
-
Marpac Dohm. It even makes me feel sleepy.
-
@Leah: After we moved LO to her room when she was 3 months old DH and I got another one for our room because we loved it so much!
-
@Danizaur: I love the munchkin one too! It's only $19 on amazon
-
White noise baby app. Our spare iPad lives in her room.
-
I have the sleep sheep (travel sized). 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.
-
@Sparkler: I picked the first site that popped up when I googled it. I was thinking I didn't pay that much. Haha! I bought it on amazon too.
-
20 dollar homemedics soundscape from amazon. Has 3 sounds, 3 songs and a projector. It's totally worth the price.
-
another vote for marpac dohm!
-
@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.
-
marpac dohm. we have 2!
-
We have this $20 one from homedics (https://m.bedbathandbeyond.com/m/product/homedics-reg-soundspa-reg-sound-machine/1013630208). 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.
I think you need something continuous, not a sleep sheep that turns off after 45 min.
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.
-
Marpac! We bring it everywhere!
-
@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.
-
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.
-
Dohm! We've been using it every single night for 2.5 years. Side note - my acupuncturist uses that brand, too. Haha.
-
@lawbee11: yes! I think I will get another one too.
-
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.

-
@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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Dohm! We used one for ourselves in our room for years, even before LO!
-
@Little Misters Mom: yeah I remember when that first came out. 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.
-
We use Marpac Dohm here! I just ordered a second one for the twins's room.
-
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!
-
I originally didn't like the Dohm because it's kind of weird looking but I think I have been convinced. We will use it in our master bedroom to, hopefully, drown out some of the baby noises that will keep me up.
-
@simplyfelicity: it's definitely not pretty, but it works!
