Babies often relax to the sound of a hair dryer. The white noise is an effective tool to soothe colic, calm a crying baby, and help an infant get to sleep. Try out this cool sleep trick, and let us know in the comments how it works for you! Baby white noise is an effective way to soothe a crying infant and lull your newborn to sleep. White noise resembles sounds the baby heard in the womb, which has a calming effect. It also masks other distracting noises so that your baby can fall asleep and remain sleeping. While playing white noise for babies, it’s important to keep tabs on the volume, because any white noise machine, smartphone, or computer can put out levels that are too loud for your child. It's recommended to play the sound at least a few feet from where your infant is sleeping and to keep the volume no louder than the sound of a soft shower. Parents can download an app to turn their smartphone into a sound level meter. One good, free, option is the sound level meter app created by the U.S. National Institutes for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) available on the app store as the NIOSH SLM app. For more relaxing sounds to soothe a colicky infant, check out these popular videos: Soothe Your Crying Baby: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cUwEiMNhOCM Colicky Baby Sleeps to This Sound: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oewj_XEM1js Baby Sleep Miracle: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iim2OkiEJLg #whitenoise #babysleep #sleepsounds *** Please subscribe to our channel: https://bit.ly/RWNSubscribe Website: https://www.relaxingwhitenoise.com/ DISCLAIMER: Do not drive or operate heavy machinery while listening to this sound.
