White noise helps to soothe babies, returning them to the feeling of being in the womb. What a baby is hearing when in the womb is similar to listening to things when underwater, and this is the theory behind white noise as a settling technique. As your baby grows, it remains a positive association, helps your baby link their sleep cycles and drowns out external and household noises. If you’re looking to create a consistent, settled sleep environment when on-the-go, invest in a portable white noise machine, like the Drift Away Portable White Noise Machine from Ergo Pouch. It features seven clean and clear sleep sounds, designed to promote deep, restorative sleep for babies by masking disruptive noises in the sleep environment. It is a super lightweight design and has a rechargeable battery (with a battery life of 48 hours!) so you can take it in the pram, in the car, wherever you go with your baby. When you’re at home, leave it in their nursery and turn on the built-in soft LED light which has three settings, and can help with overnight nappy changes and feeding. The volume-adjustable sound is set to a safe maximum decibel rating of 75db next to your ear.
