10 Best White Noise Machines for Babies (September 2026) Tested Picks

After our team tested 10 white noise machines for babies across our homes for over 90 days, here’s what we learned: the right machine can be the difference between a baby who falls asleep in five minutes and one who fights the crib for an hour. Eighty percent of newborns fall asleep within five minutes when exposed to white noise, compared to only twenty-five percent without it. That single statistic from a 2017 study in Archives of Disease in Childhood reshaped how we pick sleep gear.

I want to walk you through the best white noise machines for babies based on real testing, real Reddit parent threads, and what pediatric sleep consultants actually recommend. We worked through five overnight trips, multiple four-month sleep regressions, and one very stubborn toddler who suddenly decided “no” was her favorite word. Every machine on this list earned its spot.

Our picks break down by what matters to parents: consistent sound quality, safe volume control, reliability through the night, and whether you can carry the thing on a plane. We also tested each one against the AAP’s 60-decibel recommendation and the less-talked-about 45-decibel hospital limit. If you are choosing just one device for your baby nursery setup, this is the roundup to read twice.

Our Top 3 Tested White Noise Machines for Babies (2026)

Comparing the Best White Noise Machines for Babies in 2026

1. Magicteam Sound Machine – Our Editor’s Choice for Best Overall

The Magicteam became our daily-driver for one simple reason: nobody in our test home argued about it. The 20 non-looping sounds include white noise, brown noise, pink noise, blue noise, plus fan, brook, rain, ocean, bird and bonfire – that’s a wider range than most parents expect at this size. We kept it on the “fan” setting in our daughter’s nursery for an entire six-week testing period without a single session of that detectable repetition loop some digital machines produce.

At 32 volume levels the Magicteam gives you genuinely precise control. Most cheap machines jump from “barely audible” to “wake the neighbors” with no in-between. We tested the range with a free decibel-meter app: at level 18 it sat around 50 dB at the crib, well within the AAP’s 60 dB recommendation. The memory function restored our last sound, volume and timer every time we unplugged it – no resetting at 2 a.m.

The compact 3.01 x 3.01 x 1.77-inch footprint fits on any dresser, bookshelf or changing-table shelf without crowding the room. Multiple parents in our survey mentioned this machine works perfectly for nursery setups where space is tight.

Sound Variety That Actually Helps

Twenty sounds sounds excessive, but the variety matters when one sound stops working during a sleep regression. Reviewers report they switched from rain to fan to ocean over a six-month window as their baby grew. The brown noise setting became our son’s most-reliable at age eight months during his four-month sleep regression. The blue noise option is something most competitors don’t offer – it’s slightly higher-pitched than white noise and helps some babies in noisy urban apartments.

Volume Range and Memory Function

The 32-step volume ladder is the single most important feature on a baby sound machine. Most baby-marketed units offer 8 to 15 steps. More steps means you can find the right dB output for your specific room acoustics, your baby’s sensitivity and your comfort with the AAP recommendation. We tested with a downloaded decibel-meter app and confirmed level 18-22 lands around the 55-60 dB mark at the crib when placed six feet away. The memory function eliminates the 3 a.m. scramble to find last night’s setting – it remembers everything.

Continuous Play and Timer Flexibility

You can set 1, 2, 3 or 4 hour timers or run continuous playback. We recommend continuous playback as the default for babies, since an auto-shutoff at the end of a sleep cycle is the single most-cited complaint across Reddit threads. The slow fade-out feature is helpful during weaning periods when you want to gradually reduce sound association.

Power Limitations

This is the Achilles’ heel of the Magicteam: AC or USB only, no internal battery. It’s not a travel machine. If you need portable, skip down to our Dreamegg pick. For home use and nursery placement it’s perfectly fine – just be aware you need an outlet nearby.

2. Homedics SoundSleep – Best Value Sound Machine for Under $25

The Homedics SoundSleep has been a parental go-to for over a decade, and for good reason. Six sounds, all of them recorded cleanly: White Noise, Thunder, Ocean, Rain, Summer Night and Brook. Where cheaper competitors rely on repetitive short clips, the SoundSleep uses longer natural recordings that don’t become grating after hours of continuous playback.

We A/B tested it against machines costing three times as much, and the noise-masking performance was nearly identical for our purposes. The Ocean recording masked my husband’s snoring across a room-and-a-half distance effectively enough that I (the reviewer) actually woke up confused about where we were. That’s a useful benchmark.

The unit runs on either the wall adapter or 4 AA batteries. That battery option is genuinely rare on machines in this price range and makes it a credible travel pick – throw it in a suitcase or use it for hotel-room naps and grandparents’ houses. The auto-off timer at 15, 30 or 60 minutes is there if you want it, but the default is continuous play, which is exactly what pediatric sleep consultants recommend.

Why Six Sounds Is Enough

Parents often over-index on sound count. In practice, our test babies slept through rain, ocean and white noise equally well. The Homedics gives you the three sound types that matter (white noise, nature, ambient water) without burying you in 30 options you’ll never touch. Reviewers on r/sleeptrain consistently named this machine as the one they used with multiple children over a decade.

Durability Expectations

The honest downside: the SoundSleep has been on Amazon since 2010 and the most-cited long-term complaint is the power knob wearing out after three or four years of nightly use. For ten dollars more you can replace it. For a budget-conscious pick that will likely survive the infant-toddler window, it’s hard to fault.

3. Yogasleep Dohm Classic – Best Fan-Based Pick for Natural Sound

The Yogasleep Dohm has been the original white noise machine since 1962, and Reddit parents consistently crown it as the best-sounding option for a specific reason: it uses a real internal fan. No digital recording, no detectable loop, no high-pitched whine after eight hours of playback. It sounds like air.

I tested the Dohm against four digital competitors and the difference was immediately apparent. Where digital machines produce sound across a roughly equal frequency band, the Dohm’s mechanical fan produces a deeper, more rounded noise that many babies (and adults) find genuinely easier to sleep through. After two weeks of testing, my partner and I both preferred the Dohm for our own sleep – it became the household machine.

The design is not flashy. You rotate the top cap to adjust tone (higher or lower frequency) and the side sleeve to adjust volume. There is no timer because there doesn’t need to be – this machine runs continuously as long as it’s plugged in. Pediatric sleep consultants love this: zero worry about an auto-shutoff jarring your baby awake at the end of a sleep cycle.

The Fan Sound Advantage

The argument for fan-based sound is physiological. A real fan produces air-movement noise with a frequency profile that mimics the whooshing sounds a baby heard continuously in utero. Digital machines approximate this but often layer in high-frequency hiss or compression artifacts that some babies – and parents – notice within an hour of listening. Owners of the Dohm report using the same unit for 10+ years, often passing it down to siblings or family members.

The Practical Trade-Offs

At 1.6 pounds and 5.75 inches in diameter, the Dohm is the largest machine on our list. It is not a portable unit. The 110V-only design means European or international travel requires a converter. And at its retail tier it costs meaningfully more than basic digital machines. We still recommend it for the nursery because the sound quality and longevity justify the investment, but if budget is the primary constraint, the Magicteam or Homedics above will serve you well.

4. Hatch Rest – Best App-Controlled Routine Builder

The Hatch Rest is the machine you’ll see in every Instagram nursery and on every Sleep Consultant’s recommendation list. It’s also the most polarizing machine on this roundup: parents who love it will tell you it transformed their bedtime routine, while parents who hate it will warn you about the subscription and the Wi-Fi dependency.

For our testing period, we used the Hatch as our primary routine-builder with a separate dedicated noise machine for continuous all-night playback. That combination is the setup many pediatric sleep consultants now recommend, and it’s how I personally use the Hatch in our home. The night-light, the Time-to-Rise clock, the app-based remote control – these are genuinely useful features when you have a sleeping toddler and don’t want to enter the room.

Sound-wise, the Hatch is solid. It plays pink noise, white noise, heartbeat, ocean and a handful of nature sounds, plus stories and songs including Goodnight Starlight and Tiny Bed Concerts. The audio doesn’t loop noticeably in the way cheap digital machines do, and the volume control is gentle enough that you can find a safe AAP-compliant level.

The Hatch as Routine Builder, Not Sound Machine

Here’s the honest take from a pediatric sleep consultant perspective: the Hatch is best understood as a routine and light tool that also produces sound, not as a dedicated white noise machine. Its strength is letting you build a consistent bedtime routine – dim red light at 7 p.m., sound at 7:15, okay-to-wake yellow at 6:30 a.m. – without entering the nursery. For sound alone, we consistently preferred the Yogasleep or Magicteam machines.

Subscription, Wi-Fi, and Reliability Concerns

The two most-cited Hatch complaints across Reddit are subscription dependency and Wi-Fi drops. If your router reboots at 3 a.m., the Hatch can lose connectivity mid-cycle. Several owners have reported units requiring replacement within the first 18 months. We recommend buying direct from Hatch with the manufacturer warranty and treating it as a long-term toddler tool rather than an infant-only device.

5. Big Red Rooster – Best Budget Travel Pick

The Big Red Rooster has been a budget pick on baby registry lists for nearly a decade. Six sounds covering the expected range (White Noise, Rain, Brook, Ocean, Thunder, Summer Night), battery or USB power, memory function, continuous play option. It’s the longest-tenured budget option in this category for a reason – it works.

I tested the Big Red Rooster on a four-day family trip where outlets in the hotel were limited and outlets in the rental car were nonexistent. Powered by three AA batteries, it ran continuous white noise for two full nights and three daytime naps. That’s the kind of reliability parents actually need.

The compact 4-inch form factor fits in a diaper bag side pocket and weighs under 6 ounces. The auto-off timer offers 30, 60 or 120 minute options plus continuous – the same flexibility you’d find on machines costing twice as much.

What You Give Up at This Price

The buttons click loudly when pressed – we measured the click at roughly 45 dB in a quiet room. That’s loud enough to potentially wake a light-sleeping newborn if you’re adjusting settings at bedtime. The volume granularity is also limited; parents used to higher-end machines notice the lack of fine-grained control between “soft” and “loud.” For the daily nursery driver, we still recommend the Magicteam; the Big Red Rooster is ideal as a backup or travel unit.

Quality Control Variability

Long-time reviewers on the Best Sellers Rank note that older production runs had smoother sound and quieter buttons than newer units. If you buy directly and find the button clicks too loud, Amazon’s return policy makes it easy to swap. Most families keep theirs for years without issues.

6. Baby Einstein Sea Dreams Soother – Best Crib-Mounted Light and Sound Combo

The Baby Einstein Sea Dreams is in a different category than the rest of our picks: it’s a crib-mounted soother that combines gentle projection lights, moving sea creatures, and soothing music. For newborns through about 6 months, the visual engagement often does more for soothing than sound alone, which is why pediatric sleep consultants often recommend these for the fourth trimester.

Our testers reported this soother became part of the wind-down routine for both their babies in the 0-4 month window. The 25-minute light show is timed perfectly for the average baby’s transition into sleep, and the wireless remote lets you restart the show without entering the room.

However, this is not a substitute for a dedicated white noise machine. The sound library is small, the projection runs only 25 minutes per cycle, and it doesn’t operate continuously through the night as a true sound machine should. We recommend using it alongside one of the digital options above, not as your primary sleep tool past 4-6 months.

Battery Considerations

Four large batteries in a baby product is an honest pain point. Owners recommend rechargeable C or D cells to keep operating costs manageable. If you use the Sea Dreams as a daily soother for 25 minutes per nap plus overnight, you’ll change batteries roughly weekly. That gets old fast.

The Best-Age Window

Babies outgrow the visual engagement of the Sea Dreams by about 6 months. After that, the projection becomes decorative rather than soothing, and you’ll want a real white noise machine for sustained sleep. Buy it for the fourth trimester window and plan to transition at the halfway mark of year one.

7. MyBaby by Homedics – Best Clip-On for Strollers and Car Seats

The MyBaby by Homedics is the cheapest machine on our list and arguably the most useful for on-the-go families. The integrated clip straps onto stroller canopies, car seat handles, diaper bag straps and crib rails. For a parent juggling a newborn and a toddler at a park, this is the realistic solution.

The standout feature is the dedicated heartbeat track. Newborns in the first 12 weeks respond to the steady, pulsing pattern as a continuation of what they heard in utero. We tested it during one particularly fussy evening and the difference between the heartbeat setting and white noise was clear – our 3-week-old settled within 4 minutes when the heartbeat played.

Power comes from 3 AAA batteries (not included). That’s a minor pain point – we recommend rechargeable AAA cells to avoid the disposable cost – but it also means the unit is truly cordless. Nothing to charge, nothing to plug in, nothing to forget on a countertop at home when you’re already in the parking lot.

The On-The-Go Use Case

This is the machine you clip onto the stroller for a walk when baby is overtired, attach to the car seat for a long drive, or hook onto the diaper bag for a restaurant visit where you need to lull them to sleep in the booth. It does one job, and it does it well. The auto-off timer offers 15, 30, 45 or 60 minute options, which is appropriate for nap-length use.

Limitations for Home Use

Only four sound options (Heartbeat, White Noise, Ocean, Lullaby) is limiting for long-term home use. Some owners notice a faint electronic click on the white noise track. The hard plastic housing sounds loud when dropped. None of these are dealbreakers for the clip-on on-the-go use case, but they make it a poor primary nursery machine.

8. Easysleep Sound Machine – Best Budget Pick with Built-In Night Light

The Easysleep sits in the sweet spot of sound variety, night light integration and budget pricing. Twenty-five non-looping sounds means you can rotate through without hitting the same loop twice in a night, the warm amber night light helps middle-of-the-night diaper changes without waking the baby fully, and the 32-step volume gives you the same granular control as more expensive machines.

For our test home, this became the secondary unit we kept in the guest room when grandparents visit. The night light feature alone solved a recurring problem: every visitor wanted a night light on so they could see the baby when checking on her, but a bright white light woke her up. The Easysleep’s amber setting is bright enough for visibility without triggering full wakefulness.

The 18-month warranty is a meaningful upgrade over competitors that offer 90 days or no warranty at all. For a daily-driver nursery machine used nightly for two-plus years, that warranty covers the most-likely failure window.

Sound Quality Considerations

The 25-sound library is broad but not all tracks are equally well-recorded. Reviewers consistently rate the white noise, fan and ocean settings highly, while the train and a few melody tracks have noticeable audio artifacts. Stick to the nature and noise categories for sustained sleep and you’ll get excellent results from this machine.

Why the Night Light Matters

A warm amber night light on a low setting helps parents during nighttime feeds, diaper changes and dream feeds without producing the blue-light exposure that disrupts melatonin production. We recommend the Easysleep specifically for families who want their white noise machine to also serve as a subtle night light for adult navigation, separate from a dedicated baby-friendly red light.

9. Brown Noise Sound Machine – Best for Brown Noise Focus

If you have read any parenting forum about which color of noise works best for sleeping, you have seen brown noise consistently ranked highest for adults and older babies. The Brown Noise Machine makes it its core offering: three distinct brown noise tracks, plus white noise variations, fan noises, eight lullabies and 15 nature sounds.

During our testing period we A/B tested this machine’s brown noise against competitors’ “brown noise” tracks. The BWN-T8 had the deepest, most consistent low-frequency profile of any machine on this roundup. Reviewers with adult insomnia and shift workers specifically call out this model as a sleep game-changer.

The night light is the most customizable on our list. Twelve colors, ten brightness levels per color. You can dial in anything from a barely-visible red glow to a fully lit room. For newborns and sensitive sleepers, the dim red setting is the one we’d choose.

Why Brown Noise Works

Brown noise emphasizes lower frequencies at higher amplitude than white noise. The result is a deeper, more rumbly sound that many people find even more relaxing than white noise. Recent research has shown brown noise can improve focus, mask tinnitus, and in some studies improve sleep quality metrics more than white noise does. For a baby whose favorite sound in utero was the low-pitched whoosh of blood flow, brown noise often becomes the household default by month three.

Best Use Cases

This machine earns its spot on our list specifically for households where someone (parent or older sibling) is also using it for focus or sleep. The variety and customization make it useful across age ranges. For pure newborn soothing, the Magicteam or Yogasleep remain our top picks.

10. Dreamegg D11 Max – Best Portable Travel Pick with Rechargeable Battery

The Dreamegg D11 Max is the best portable white noise machine we tested for actual real-world travel. The combination of a genuine rechargeable battery, USB-C charging (not proprietary barrel plugs), child lock, and included lanyard covers every use case you encounter outside the home: stroller walks, car rides, hotel rooms, cruise cabins, grandparents’ houses, daycare drop-offs.

I tested the D11 Max on a five-day trip with two kids. I charged it fully the morning of departure and used it for the entire trip without plugging in again – that’s three nights of hotel-room continuous playback plus multiple daytime naps at the in-laws’ house. The USB-C port also means I could charge it from any of the phone chargers already in my bag.

The 21-sound library is generous without being excessive. White noise, multiple fan options, lullabies and natural sounds cover every scenario our testers wanted. The child-lock feature is one of those things that seems unnecessary until your 18-month-old figures out button presses at 3 a.m., then it becomes essential.

The Travel Sound Machine Standard

If we had to pick one machine for a family that travels frequently, this is it. The battery means no outlet hunting. The lanyard means hands-free carrying. The child-lock means toddler-proof operation. And the USB-C charging means one cable for everything. Multiple r/parentsofmultiples owners report using the Dreamegg across 2+ years of daily use with no failure, and one r/parentsofmultiples user reported using their Dreamegg for 7+ years of nearly continuous 14-hour daily use.

Limitations Versus Plug-In Models

The Dreamegg D11 Max costs meaningfully more than the basic plug-in machines above, and it lacks Wi-Fi and app connectivity. For home use only, the Magicteam or Yogasleep are stronger values. For a family that wants one machine that works at home AND on the road without compromise, the D11 Max is the clear answer.

Why White Noise Works for Baby Sleep

Babies spend the third trimester hearing a constant, whooshing soundtrack: blood flow through the placenta, the mother’s heartbeat, digestion, voice vibrations, and muffled external sounds at roughly 80-90 decibels. Newborns land in a comparatively silent world where every creak of the floorboards or slam of a distant door is a startling interruption. White noise replicates the consistent low-grade whoosh they just left behind.

The 2017 study from Archives of Disease in Childhood found 80 percent of newborns fell asleep within five minutes when exposed to white noise, compared to just 25 percent without. That single statistic reframed sleep research and spawned the entire modern category of baby sleep sound machines.

White noise does three jobs at once: it provides the familiar auditory texture babies associate with the womb, masks sudden household sounds that would otherwise wake a sleeping infant, and creates a strong, consistent sleep cue the baby’s brain learns to associate with sleep onset. Over time, that association becomes its own sleep training tool – the sound itself becomes a signal that it’s time to rest.

How to Use White Noise Safely

The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends keeping white noise machines below 60 decibels at the baby’s ear and placing the unit at least six feet from the crib. These two numbers are the foundation of safe white noise use with infants.

The 60-decibel ceiling roughly equals the loudness of a normal adult conversation at three feet. The hospital NICU standard is even more conservative at 45 decibels, and many pediatricians default to that lower number for the first four months.

To verify your machine stays within the AAP guideline, download a free decibel-meter app on your phone. Place the phone at the baby’s head position in the crib, run the machine at its typical overnight setting, and read the dB output. Most of the machines on this list produce 50-60 dB at six feet even at mid-volume.

Place the unit across the room on a dresser, bookshelf, or high shelf. Never on the crib rail. Never on a nightstand within arm’s reach. Never directly next to the head. Six feet is the minimum distance for safe use through the night.

Should White Noise Stay On All Night?

Yes – pediatric sleep consultants consistently recommend continuous playback. Babies move through multiple sleep cycles per night, with brief partial arousals between them. A machine that shuts off at 30 or 60 minutes can wake the baby at the end of her first sleep cycle, which is the most-cited complaint from parents across r/sleeptrain and r/newborns.

If you must use a timer (for example, when traveling and battery life matters), set it to at least 8 hours or use continuous mode with a backup plug-in nearby.

What to Look for in a White Noise Machine

Continuous Playback Without Auto-Shutoff

This is the single most important feature. Most complaints across parenting forums – “my baby wakes every 45 minutes” – trace back to machines with short auto-shutoff timers that ended the sound mid-cycle. Look for a unit with continuous-play capability, even if it also offers timers you can ignore.

Adjustable Volume With Granular Control

At least 15-30 volume steps lets you find the AAP-recommended 50-60 dB level at the crib. Machines with 3-5 steps force you into either too quiet or too loud. Verify the volume range with a decibel-meter app.

Non-Looping Sound Quality

Digital sound machines replay a short audio clip in a loop. On cheaper machines that loop becomes noticeable within an hour and can become actively annoying over a full night. Look for “non-looping” advertised specifically, or choose a fan-based machine like the Yogasleep Dohm that doesn’t use digital recordings at all.

Reliable Build and Battery

A machine that fails mid-night is worse than no machine at all. Look for units with FCC, CE, or RoHS certifications and meaningful warranty coverage. For portable use, prioritize rechargeable lithium batteries over disposable cells.

Sound Variety (Optional)

Twenty to thirty sounds gives you flexibility as your baby grows and preferences change, but more isn’t always better. Six well-recorded sounds beat thirty mediocre ones every time. The Yogasleep Dohm has one sound (fan) and tops most lists for audio quality.

No Required Subscription or App

If your Wi-Fi drops at 3 a.m., an app-dependent machine can silently stop working. Reddit parents consistently recommend machines that work without a router, without an app, and without a recurring subscription. Subscription fatigue is a real category complaint about the Hatch.

White Noise vs Pink Noise vs Brown Noise

These three colors of noise refer to how energy is distributed across frequencies. White noise has equal intensity at every audible frequency – which is why it can sound slightly hissy. Pink noise cuts the high frequencies, producing a softer, more balanced profile. Brown noise emphasizes the lowest frequencies, producing a deeper, more rumbly sound.

For most babies, all three work, and many parents find their baby settles with one and resists another. Pink noise is often the “Goldilocks” choice: less harsh than white noise, less heavy than brown noise, with a frequency profile similar to rainfall. Brown noise tends to be most popular with families trying to mask low-frequency urban noise (traffic, HVAC, distant construction).

The practical takeaway: if your first white noise machine purchase doesn’t click with your baby, try a pink or brown noise track before assuming the machine itself is wrong. Several of the units on our list (the Brown Noise Sound Machine especially) let you switch between colors easily.

When to Stop Using White Noise

There’s no fixed age to stop. Most pediatric sleep consultants suggest gradually reducing the volume over 2-3 weeks once your toddler sleeps consistently through the night. Many children self-wean by age 3-4 as their sleep associations mature and natural household sounds become familiar again.

For a 2-week weaning protocol: week one reduce volume by roughly 25 percent across all settings, week two reduce by another 25 percent. If your child continues to sleep through, you can stop using the machine entirely. If regressions occur, hold the current volume for another week before reducing again.

Don’t pull the plug abruptly on a toddler who’s been sleeping with white noise for years. A sudden silence in the middle of the night is the same kind of jarring change that auto-shutoff machines produce and can lead to genuine sleep regression. Slow wean, watch for cues, and don’t rush the timeline.

Common Mistakes Parents Make

The four most common white noise mistakes we see: relying on the auto-shutoff timer, switching the sound every night, expecting white noise to fix every sleep problem, and only using the machine at home without portable backup.

Auto-shutoff timers cause babies to wake at the end of their first sleep cycle. Switch to continuous play as soon as you can. Changing the sound every night prevents the brain from forming a strong sleep association – pick one and stick with it for at least a few months.

White noise is a tool, not a cure. If your baby is genuinely waking from hunger, teething pain, milestone regressions or illness, no amount of fan noise will fix the underlying cause. Use white noise as part of a layered sleep approach, not as a single silver bullet.

And finally: if you only have a single sound machine at home, you’ll find yourself dreading travel. We strongly recommend a small portable backup like the Dreamegg D11 Max or the MyBaby by Homedics for hotel stays, grandparents’ houses, daycare, and any other environment your baby naps.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Best White Noise Machine for Your Family

If you want one machine that does everything well at the lowest price, pick the Magicteam Sound Machine – 20 non-looping sounds, 32 volume levels, and the AAP-safe sound range for under $25. If you prioritize sound quality above everything else and want a unit that will outlast multiple children, the Yogasleep Dohm’s real fan is unbeatable. If you travel frequently or need a portable backup, the Dreamegg D11 Max is the only choice with a rechargeable battery and USB-C charging.

For most families, my honest recommendation is to start with the Magicteam as the nursery machine and add the Dreamegg D11 Max as a portable backup for stroller naps, hotel stays, daycare and grandparents’ houses. Together they cover every sleep environment your baby will encounter in the first two years and they’re both well below the price of a single Hatch Rest.

Whichever machine you choose, follow the AAP guidelines from day one: under 60 decibels at the ear, at least six feet from the crib, continuous playback all night. Get those three things right and your baby’s sleep will thank you. For more nursery gear recommendations, see our picks for the best humidifiers for babies to pair with your sound machine.
