1 or 2 sound machines?

shivNY

Our twins will be in the same room but I'm wondering if I should get a sound machine to put near each of their cribs instead of 1 for the room?  I'm thinking 2 would help block out the other twins noises as well as noises in the house.

What do you do?  Thanks!

One should be fine.  We keep ours on the dresser in the nursery.  If you want something individual my trio loves these FP seahorses.  They play music for 5 min-I was a little leery of putting something in their crib because of SIDS risk but we recently started putting these in there since they are older now.  https://www.amazon.com/Fisher-Price-Ocean-Wonders-Soothe-Seahorse/dp/B000W3XEQM

In their room, we have 1 in between the 2 cribs. We still separate them for naps so we need 2.

We had 2, sort of. We started with an iPod in a dock, playing the hissing kind of white noise. I couldn't take hearing that over the monitor all the time, plus it crashed several times a night, so we switched to one playing the sound of waves. But we kept using the one with the hissing white noise on occassion, usually on the floor between their cribs, or, on the edge of a crib (before they were pulling up) to kind of block sound from each other. I'm really not sure it worked all that well but it was worth a shot.

I say start with one, and go from there. Too many sounds and you will lose your everloving mind between white noise and crying babies.

We use just one (graco slumber something?), turned up all the way. And definitely get the seahorses that PP recommended
