What’s your take on white noise?

You aren’t doing anything wrong and do not feel guilty. White noise is soothing and sounds similar to when they were in the womb. Even some adults use white noise to calm them. My little girl is 2 and still I place her white noise on when she naps or goes to sleep. It’s totally harmless and something that is comforting. Why cause her unneeded stress when she is already unsettled. You continue doing what you feel is best. Xx
I wonder why he’s against it… is it because baby might become dependent? There doesn’t seem to be a negative to trying it to me!
Me and my husband sometimes use this kind of sleep tracks to fall asleep. This seems to me another instance of an adult trying to force a baby to be an adult rather than letting them be a baby. If it helps her and soothes her and doesn’t harm her then why not use it?!
White noise has had my 4m old sleeping through the night since 2m old. He self settles as soon as he hears it. Go with your gut mumma ❤️
I put lullabies on for my 7 month old, I definitely feel like it makes a difference for them. At the end of the day, they spent 9 months in the safest place they’ll ever feel with constant noise so you can’t blame them for settling more with more noise in the outside 🤷♀️x
My baby is 6 months and we have never used white noise. Its been proven to be detrimental to their brain development, so yeah I avoid! I've had 3 kids and never used it, so I'm in agreement with your partner here
We used it when our little one was smaller, I had it on less that 60dB because it’s meant to be safer at that level (we used it as his room is above the kitchen). Recent research has suggested that having it above 90dB can be harmful for brain development, I probably wouldn’t use it again tbh. I also noticed my son was quite noise sensitive and since I stopped using it he’s not as much. You can check the sound level of yours using a sound meter online but I would also say the fussy drinking stage is just that and will pass x
Hi all, yes I think he just doesn’t want her to be dependent on it which I get, and I tend to just use it when she’s too fussy or stimulated so she can get a nap in or feed a bit better. It’s not really on all the time when she naps/sleeps at night just to help her settle. Will definitely keep in mind that it can be detrimental for their development especially if its on too loud. Thanks x
I would highly suggest pink noise it's much soothing for babies ears. Mum knows best at the end of the day. Whatever works for you and your baby x
