Baby Sleep - White Noise Application Software Download Free Android
Application software download free Android
White noise creates a soothing environment that mimics the sounds your baby heard in the womb. This is important because your little one was used to hearing a mix of the heartbeat, rushing blood, breathing and other noises in utero, so it is comforting for them to hear this familiar sound at bedtime to help soothe them into sleep.
It is also helpful in blocking external noises such as sirens or neighbouring children playing that could distract your baby and disturb their sleep. It is best to use white noise at a volume of 50 decibels or lower, as this is quieter than the average conversation and about the same as the sound level inside your shower.
Some white noise machines or apps also offer 'brown noise' which is a softer version of white noise that has a deeper sound and some people describe it as a mix of rainfall, ocean waves or forest sounds that can help create a relaxing environment for babies to fall asleep. Some white noise apps may even have a feature that plays your baby's own heartbeat or the sound of a mother's voice to recreate the sounds they would have heard in the womb, which can be comforting for them to fall asleep to.
Using these sounds can help your baby develop a sleep routine that will improve their quality of sleep and make it easier for you to get some rest too! However, it is recommended to discuss any use of white noise with your Child Health Nurse or GP as new research around this is ongoing and some evidence suggests that some babies can be affected by loud noises at certain times.
