do you let it play all night or does it shut off after a certain amount of time?
I have an ipod set up in DS room that plays lullabies (rockabye baby CDs), and I found a white noise/nature sounds CD on itunes that I could download to it, but it's only about an hour long. Do you think that would work the same? Does it need to play all night?
Re: s/o baby crack machine
I leave it on all night. There is an option on the machine to only let it play 30/60/90 minutes if you want. I have tried both ways and prefer all night. I feel like when they wake up and hear it, they soothe back to sleep better (but I might just be making that up! lol).
It plugs into the wall and has a place for batteries if you need it to be portable.
To answer your question - if you want to download the nature sounds first and see if it would work, then I would try it. He might just need it to fall asleep, and be ok afterwards. Look for a "rain" or "waves/ocean" sound. Something that is consistant without much variation. Almost like tv fuzz.
