Tommee Tippee Grofriend Baby Sound and Light Sleep Aid, USB-Rechargeable, Soothing Sounds, Lullabies and White Noise, CrySensor and Nightlight, Ollie the Owl

Product Information

You can control the sound via a Bluetooth app. Once you’ve started the white noise, you might just want to leave it playing all night without making any changes. However, if you want to turn the volume down once your baby’s fallen asleep, for example, this remote feature could be really handy, and might make it worth the higher price. However, there are five groups of people in particular that I think would benefit most from having a white noise: American Bird Conservancy and our Joint Venture partners have improved conservation management on 6.4 million acres of U.S. bird habitat — an area larger than the state of Maryland — over the last ten years. This is a monumental undertaking, requiring the support of many, and you can help by making a gift today. The best baby white noise machines don't have to cost a fortune - and often come with extra features such as nightlights or light projectors too. Our favourite features? Just like Ollie the Owl, the Slumber Bear contains a cry sensor that will restart the noise when the baby begins to stir. The noise only plays for five minutes each time, but it will reactivate as many times as needed.

It comes with a handy velcro strap too, meaning you can easily attach it to the inside of the cot or anywhere else you fancy. Many parents swear by white noise as an easy way to help their baby fall asleep at bedtime. It can also help them to sleep more reliably throughout the night, as it can make it easier for them to self-settle when they stir. Finally, we cross-referenced all of the above information to find the best white noise machines for babies that have won the most accolades and recommendations across the board to bring you a selection of the best ones at various price points. We think there’s something here for everyone. Why you should trust us These clever baby sound machines play a wide range of soothing sounds to help your baby go to sleep. I have a MyHummy. It plays for 12 hours straight. Everyone says it eats batteries but that hasn't been my experience at all. I think I must change the batteries once every 2 months or so.” (Tried and tested by Mumsnetter Letsallscreamatthesistene) Our verdictOllie the Owl has switches in his wings and feet which allow you to choose different settings. When we describe these settings we use left and right from Ollie’s point of view, not as you look at him. Although many sleep aids are classified as white noise machines, most come with plenty of different sounds to help lull baby off into a deep sleep. I think it’s better to leave it running overnight but you can make use of the 60-minute timer on the white noise sound if you only want it playing while you drift off.

It's always best to go through the settings and try a few sounds to see which one works best for your little one. Where to buy baby white noise machines in the UK Noisy Velcro needs to be undone to change settings (however the on / off button is easily accessible)

Tommee Tippee Dreammaker nightlight and baby sleep aid

With four soothing sounds including heartbeat, pink noise, lullaby and waterfall, the Snuz is a cross between a cuddly toy, a nightlight and a white noise machine.

We have this one. It makes a fan sort of noise. We even take it in our caravan.” (Recommended by Mumsnet user MinnieMousse) Our verdictWhite noise is best played at short intervals like nap time, getting off to sleep, and sometimes even waking up. CHOOSE A TIMER OR CONTINUOUS PLAY: No need to worry about your child waking up unexpectedly when the sound stops because the SoundBub includes 30, 60 & 90-minute timers as well as a CONTINUOUS PLAY option.
