Inside the womb, babies hear constant sounds around them. Silence can actually feel unfamiliar.
Gentle sleep sounds may help by:
✨ Reducing sudden noises

✨ Helping babies stay asleep longer
✨ Supporting a calmer bedtime environment
Good options include:
• Rain sounds

• Soft fan sounds
• Gentle brown noise
The goal isn’t loud sound. Soft and consistent usually works best.
