🎶 The perfect volume!
If your white noise isn’t effectively soothing your baby or they are being disturbed and waking up due to external sounds, you may need to assess and adjust the volume. To ensure your white noise machine is set to an appropriate volume, download a free decibel meter reader app on your phone, place it in your baby’s bed, and adjust the volume to 65 decibels, roughly the equivalent to a soft shower 🚿
🎶 Duration
We want to ensure that your baby’s white noise plays continuously for the entire duration of their sleep without turning off after a certain amount of time. Otherwise, when they partially wake between sleep cycles, their sleep environment will have changed from the original way they fell asleep, which may inadvertently encourage them to fully wake and cry out 😫
🎶 Location, location, location!
Placing your white noise machine near the source of noise you want to drown out can help reduce the risk of your baby waking. For example, positioning it near your baby’s doorway if there is noise coming from there that may travel from another room, or by the window if there are dogs, loud cars, or trucks outside 🛻
