I have a few friends who have them and have had success for quite some time with them. One friend's son came out of his room before the "sun" was up and she just asked him if it was up yet, he said no and went back to his bed for another 20 minutes. Seems like a great idea to me. Just hoping it will work for my kids. I’ve thought about getting one of those. I have a few friends who have them and have had success for quite some time with them.

We've always used the continuous mode with the ocean setting. It has other sounds, and can play music and project images as well, but we've only used it for the white noise sound. We got the Sound Spa as a gift, and now we give it to friends who are expecting. It's the only thing I can think of that we've used consistently for 18 months, and I imagine we'll use it for many more.

I looked at it on Amazon and it says it has an auto-shut-off timer, but can you also have it play continuously all night long? We currently use white noise CDs, but they end after 60-ish minutes and then have to start over, which sometimes wakes up our twins. Despite that, the white noise is definitely one of the things we could not live without! reanbean–a question for you on the white noise machine that you use.

We used a "white noise machine" until Maddie's asthma got bad and we started using an air purifier. Now I use the white noise machine in the new baby's room. I really think it helps them fall asleep and stay asleep. Plus our house is small and it enables us to go about our business once they are asleep. I am definitely going to check out your gadget though - their wake up times are all over the place! .-= Marnie´s last blog ..<a href="http://kellernuggets.blogspot.com/2009/08/how-on-earth.html" rel="nofollow">how on earth...</a> =-.

I'm with Renae, I could not live without white noise in the kids' room. It changes with the seasons, right now it's the air conditioner, in the winter it's a loud humidifier or air purifying fan. Lifesaver to not have to tiptoe around, and I'd like to think it helps them sleep through each other if one wakes up, as well.

I decided when we did sleep training at 9 months that I was not going in to get them up until 6:30am and they could just amuse themselves until then. So far, that's been working. Sometimes I can hear them giggling and playing, but they rarely cry. It's hard to say what products we couldn't live without. I suppose our Sound Spa Lullaby machine is near the top of our list. We've used the ocean setting for white noise during naps ever since they were newborns and it really seems to help them fall asleep and stay asleep. Our house is small, with their bedroom right off the living room and kitchen areas, so the white noise is crucial for drowning out the noises I make as I try to get things done around the house while they sleep. http://www.amazon.com/Homedics-SS-3000-Soundspa-Lullaby-White/dp/B000QTSW64 Oh, I cannot wait for a day when they sleep until 7am. 6:30am seems to be the best they can do for now, but usually they wake up around 6am.
