No matter how quiet you try to be at bedtime, a variety of sounds may easily wake up your baby. For me, my cracking knees as I stood up were often the culprit with my youngest son. His eyes would fly open and I would have to get him to sleep all over again. White noise sound machines help disguise background noises, helping your baby sleep sound.
Today, white noise devices come in a variety of presentations that also include nightlights, lullabies, clocks, timers, and more. Which noise machine works best for the baby stage and beyond? Check out our top picks.
