“There are several sound machines in my house, but this is by far my favorite one — we even bring it on trips. The app is super easy to use. I programmed the settings so that the nursery is set for bedtime light/sound when baby’s bedtime rolls around every night. The sounds are soothing, especially the waves one, that I bring it on trips so baby has a consistent noise environment. If I have to change baby’s diaper in the middle of the night, I light it at the lowest levels, and it’s pretty easy to see without waking baby up too much. Though it’s a pricier than other sound machines, the Ok to Wake function makes it worth it. I can see this being used for years and years. I love this so much, I would easily give it as a baby shower gift.”
