White noise machines...do they really work?

I'm curious if any of you 2nd time mommies have used one of these - does it really soothe the baby?

    We bought a white noise CD and it was miraculous!

    I don't know if it soothes the baby, but we like having something to drown out other noises in the house.  We use the Homedics sound & projection machine.  At night we've been using the vaporizer as white noise, but I use the rain setting on the sound machine at other times.  DD also loves watching the projection as she falls asleep at night.

    lurking... I couldn't live without mine! It works wonderfully to soothe and help him stay asleep.

    We have only had a teddy bear that plays the sound in the womb for 40 minutes and then it stops on it's own. We have used it since P was a baby and he still uses it for naps and at bedtime.

    We will be buying the exact same one for the new baby as well.

    More info please on the 40 min womb sound Teddy!  We have one but it only played for 10 min, which was not enough!

    We still use DD's. On the ocean setting. She just wakes a lot easier/earlier without it.

    I hear they are great, but there are mixed opinions on whether its actually good for the baby's development.  Just a heads up--we're still registering for one, I think.

    Our DD slept with the "ocean waves" sound on until she was 2 yrs old!  It was awesome...she slept through anything with that machine on.

    Yes, sound machines definitely work!  Our children fall asleep almost instantly when we turn the white noise machine on.  I recommend the basic sound of white noise instead of the other nature sounds which are available on some of the machines.  We bought the Marpac SleepMate 980.
