Babies are the pride and joy of any family. When you first hold your baby in your arms, you would want to give him everything that you can offer. But for now he just wants his sleep and a lot of parents would go over the top to provide the best sleep possible.
Baby will sleep a lot because that is part of their growing process. They cannot eat food like us to keep giving them energy and instead are given milk. So the next alternative to replenish energy is to sleep.
Unfortunately, babies are very sensitive to sound. Maybe they are still new to the world and they hear every single sound and process it. That is why a loud, high pitched or even unfamiliar noise will wake the baby up.
You could try to sound proof the room but sometimes unexpected things would happen like the neighbors arguing or loud music is being played next door. Other than throwing away the speakers that are making those loud noises, why don’t you try placing a Marpac SleepMate 980A inside the baby’s room instead?
Marpac SleepMate 980A is a white noise sound machine that can help both adults and babies to get a good night sleep. White noise is a mixture of sounds with different frequencies and wavelengths that will help calm us down. This can be compared to listening to the sound of waterfall or the fan humming.
Because babies are more sensitive to sounds than us, they will be able to process this white noise better. The low frequency is constant but never repetitive. So the baby will slowly get used to the sound and subconsciously ignore the other bad sounds that might wake him up.
Another reason why the Marpac SleepMate 980A works so well is because of the low sound frequency that is reminiscence of a mother’s heartbeat when the baby is still in the womb or the sound of your voice when you are having a conversation with him.
This SleepMate 980A is not loud at all. There are two settings and a volume adjuster so you can set how loud the white noise will be. The loudest volume will not be higher than 60 db which is the tone for a normal conversation.
Its small design makes it easy to be placed anywhere in the baby’s room. It is also lightweight so you can bring it around depending on where you are putting your baby to sleep. The 8 foot long power cord gives the Marpac SleepMate 980A some flexibility on how far you can place it from the nearest power source.
You will know that the SleepMate 980A is doing its job when your little precious is sleeping soundly through the night and only wakes up when you want him to or he is hungry.
The price for the Marpac SleepMate 980A is very reasonable and it is small price to pay considering when you are ensuring quality sleep for your baby, and of course, yourself.
