Evidence White Noise Works
Scientific research has shown that there are definite benefits from listening to white noise to assist with calming, settling and sleeping, not only in babies but in adults too.
Below is an extract from a research paper written by the Institute of Obstetrics and Gynaecology , Royal Post Graduate Medical School, Queen Charlotte's Hospital, London
http://adc.bmj.com/cgi/content/abstract/65/1/135"We studied two groups of 20 neonates, between 2 and 7 days old, in a randomised trial. Sixteen (80%) fell asleep within five minutes in response to white noise compared with only five (25%) who fell asleep spontaneously in the controlled group. White noise can help mothers settle difficult babies"
You may also have read many professionals advice which also advises of some form of noise control to calm your baby down.For example saying Shhhhhh in a fairly loud voice, not putting baby down to sleep in a quite room etc. This is based on the same principle as white noise - to mask out distracting noise as well as distracting the baby from its own crying.
Also think about your own experiences with your child:
- What happens when you take your young baby out in its pram? They fall asleep to the whirring of the wheels.
- What about when they are in the car, again they fall asleep due to the monotonous sound of the engine
Letting my daughter listen to white noise before and during her naps had immediate results. I would seriously recommend giving it a try. Not only is it a very inexpensive and successful tool but it is also very easy to take and use with you any time i.e ipod, mobil phone etc.
This is the music I used with great success. Please don't just take my word for it read the testimonials from other parents who were amazed at the results.
