We just received our Marpac Dohm DS yesterday and I was really excited to put it to use, hoping that it will keep LO asleep for a little longer (especially after all the fireworks waking her up on the 4th).

My questions to you Marpac users are:

1) Where do you put the Marpac in relation to LO/crib?
The instructions are very vague, but said to "position the unit away from you".

2) What setting do you use? Did you adjust the cap and collar to find your perfect tone and volume?
Both settings sound a little loud to us and we were worried it would be too loud for LO.

3) Did it take a little time for your LO to adjust to the new white noise machine?
Our LO was a little fussier than usual last night, so trying to rule out all possible reasons.

TIA!
