Hi guys,
My LO is two weeks old today and he has slept much better at night since we introduced white noise. I'm a bit nervous about him becoming reliant on it though, so I've been avoiding it during day naps unless he's superfussy.
Did/do you use white noise?
Did/do you use it at night or for all naps?
When did you wean your LO off white noise?

We started using one around three mths? Maybe earlier. Still use it for naps and nttime ds is 15 mths. Hes slept wo ot tho when we forget to turn it on. So I think its more for our peave of mind than his being relaint on it!
-
We use it all the time. Night and naps at 14 months. She seems to sleep ok without it but loud city noises will wake her up without the noise machine.

We still used it for one of the kids I nannied for at 18 months, and they never said it caused them issues. I plan to use it from day one because we'll cosleep and I can't sleep without it myself. When we get around to moving LO out of our room, we'll probably see how they react to no white noise initially, and add it back in if they seem to need it.
I know it's inconvenient for them to need it, but since *I* do we'll never travel without it (I take a fan on all trips), so it's just not a real issue. I'll be a SAHM so they won't need to be able to nap at daycare or anything.

We use it all the time and have since really early on. It blocks out city street noise and apartment noise, plus it's a sleep cue for her. She is pretty reliant on it but she was such a bad sleeper that I'd take anything I could get. (Which is also why we have total blackout blinds).

@Torchwood: you can also download free white noise apps, FYI. I've used it forme when traveling.

@Foodnerd81: Yeah, I just haven't liked those as much. I usually have to use a fan. Something about the electronic sound doesn't work as well. But it's worth remembering if I ever forget or can't fit the fan in the suitcase!
-
@Torchwood: I hear you (no pun intended!). There is something about the fan noise
-
I think it's even more helpful for naps than at night because of random daytime noise. My LO is 13 months and I'm just starting to think of weaning it. We use a rain setting and it's about 6 feet from his head.
-
I've always used white noise. DS is 15 months. MIL watched him tonight and put him to bed. She forgot to turn the white noise on and he is sleeping totally fine!
-
I started while still in the hospital with DD and she's now 13 weeks. We use it at night and for maybe half of her naps. It definitely helps muffle the sounds of our toddler, and it is an excellent sleep cue.
-
We started using it around 4 weeks I'd say. And we only use it for bedtime (Sometimes we forget and you'd never know). We use the whale sound. He's only 3mos so we haven't weaned.
-
No plans to ever stop using it - I myself cannot sleep without it - my kids are 3 and 5 and still have noise machines in their room
-
We use an app on our iPad for her.
-
D1 is 2.5 years old and we still use it. D2 is almost 5 months and she uses it, too. Naps and night time.
-
We don't use a designated white noise machine, but we have a cool mist humidifer in her room that makes constant white noise.
She's 6 months old, and since the humidifier is going to be in there anyhow, I don't have a plan to wean her off of it. -
I use white noise to sleep and she is in our room so she hears it too
if i can get her down for a nap sometimes I will use it.
