Give me your sound machine recs. I'd like one that can stay on all night - seems like a lot of the ones intended for babies shut off after 60 minutes, and I currently have a mobile that shuts off after 20.
We have a Graco sound machine I picked up at Walmart. We use the heartbeat/white noise setting. It's nice because it has batteries so you can unplug it and carry it to another room if they nap somewhere else. And it has a plug to hook up an ipod if you has specific stuff you want to play. It's pretty small too.
Graco Sweet Slumber, on Amazon at a very good price.
It has great classical music / lullabies we use when LO is awake, and the "nature sounds" are excellent for sleeping. I particularly like the "womb sounds" track which is practically sedating for him! It stays on all night. It also has a jack to hook up an iPod (but no charging function).

Our second daughter arrived in May 2015! We are so grateful!
We have the predesescor to the Marpac Dome. Its pricey, but we've used it every night for over ten years, and its still going strong! We also have the Graco one, which is good because it has a night-light. I didn't want an app for my phone, because I may want to use my phone in the evening, and I didn't want my battery to run out in the middle of the night.
