“In those types of circumstances, some children can benefit from a white noise machine,” says Dr. “Some children can easily go back to sleep without an actual awakening, and some, what is labeled as “light sleepers,” may have a hard time if there is anything going on in the environment that is disturbing them.”ĭisruptions such as older children, small living parameters, shared bedrooms and loud conditions outside can all have an impact on a child’s sleep. “Any normal infant, specifically through the first six months of life, can have sleep awakenings or sleep arousals every 20 minutes or so,” says Dr. Leyla Akanli, MD, Pediatric Sleep Medicine Specialist at Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital in Indianapolis, IN, my son was a pretty good candidate for a child who could benefit from a sound machine.
Why might your child need a sound machine?Īccording to Dr. The sound setting was white noise, but to me, it sounded like angels singing as my little baby drifted into a restful sleep. I yanked that bad boy out and plugged it in. (I have often joked that if there was a Bobby Fischer of puzzles, it would be Wyatt.) But unfortunately, being a solid sleeper has never been one of them.Īfter many sleep deprived days and nights on both our ends, I recalled I had a baby shower gift tucked in the back of his closet: a sound machine.
He’s amazing with words, he’s awesome with music and you should see this guy do a puzzle. My 2-year-old son Wyatt has so many wonderful gifts.
