There is nothing more important than making sure your baby gets their sleep when you become a mom. If you have other children in the house who don't nap at the same time, it can feel almost impossible to get them to quiet down so the new member of the house can catch some z’s.
Some of us always sleep when the baby sleeps, and some of us like to try to get things done, like the dishes, vacuuming, or catching up with our bestie, during naptime or after we put them down for the night. The point is, kids need their sleep and we need to live our lives, but sometimes the two really interfere with each other. That’s why white noise machines are a lifesaver. Not only do they block out the outside noise, but they can also calm and soothe a child. There are even some babies who hear their favorite sounds, and it helps them recognize what time it is and gets them to sleep faster.
Here are some of the best sound machines for nurseries:
