Baby White Noise for Sleep or Relaxation I 8 Hours
About this Episode
Sometimes sleep for babies can be challenging. Parents, try this baby white noise for sleep to help calm your infant. The soothing relaxation of the white noise can help a baby sleep by masking distractions from family, the tv, music, traffic or other noise sources. Many pediatricians including Dr. Harvey Karp, author of The Happiest Baby on the Block, recommend white noise for babies.
White noise resembles sounds the baby heard in the womb, which has a calming effect. The sound masking can make it easier for your baby to fall asleep and remain sleeping without being awoken by distracting sounds. White noise is safe for infants and young children.
While playing white noise for babies, it’s important to keep tabs on the volume, because any white noise machine, smartphone, or computer can put out levels that are too loud for your child. It's recommended to play the sound at least a few feet from where your infant is sleeping and to keep the volume no louder than the sound of a soft shower. Parents can download an app to turn their smartphone into a sound level meter. One good, free, option is the sound level meter app created by the U.S. National Institutes for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) available on the app store as the NIOSH SLM app.
