Music during bedtime

What do you use for noise/music for bedtime for your babies?  I have seen sound machines at baby stores but I'm wondering if we should just do a CD player instead.  Or maybe there's something amazing out there that I don't even know about :)  What works for you?

Re: Music during bedtime

  • I use Homedics sound spa... (I think that is the name) it has several different sounds...  I usually end up keeping it on the rain setting.  It seems to help block out outside noises as well as the other baby crying ....  We play ours all night long.... you could do a CD player on repeat but that is up to you.... Good luck
  • Loading the player...
  • We used the "rain" track on the Happiest Baby on the Block CD for the first month on and off.  I kinda got addicted to it...lol.  Once we started putting her in her crib at 4 months, we use the FP Rainforest Soother.  It plays for about 25 minutes and then turns off.  She loves it.
  • We also use the Homemedics Lullaby Sound Spa machine too.  It has a projection part that I use as a night light when nursing and putting him back to sleep.

  • We also use the sound spa on the rain setting. Just a tip - put it across the room from your monitor or that's all you'll hear, rather than the baby!

    And yes, we're addicted too. Several months ago I was really sick and slept in the guest room so I didn't wake up DH by coughing all night. I couldn't sleep because it was too quiet! I missed the white noise over the monitor!

  • I actually don't use music.  I had several friends tell me not to, because the child will get used to the music and will not be able to sleep without it.  That would be a problem for us, as we often go to visit family and I didn't want to lug around a music machine everywhere we go.  However, I do use a humidifier in her room at night, and she seems to like that white noise to go to sleep, though she can sleep without it.
  • I've read that white noise generators can negatively impact hearing development of an infant, so we're not planning to use anything. 

    Granted, reaserchers think the most damage is done when the sound is too close to the crib and/or loud, but we're hoping to get away with nothing but quiet hum of the ceiling and AC/heat.
