Product Information

It has eight sounds and four volume levels to choose from so you can find what works for your baby - including shushing noises, water sounds and womb noises. The former hide a white noise speaker within a huggable form, while the latter are more likely to be propped on a surface outside the baby’s crib. There are benefits for both: cuddly toys can become a favourite of your child, but the smart speaker setup might have easier controls for adults and is much more likely to have main power. It’s also important to note that teddies and soft toys should not be placed inside a crib or attached to the side within a babies reach when they are under one year of age. This can put them at greater risk of SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome).

As a result, they range greatly in price too. Some are aimed specifically at calming children, with long battery life and baby-proof clips for cots. Others are good for adults, thanks to more sophisticated designs and diverse audio options.

With fish and waves projected across the wall and ceiling, the soft lullaby music or white noise will help lull your baby into a deep sleep. White noise contains all frequencies of sound at the same volume, like static,” explains Dr Lindsay Browning, a chartered psychologist and neuroscientist at Trouble Sleeping and author of Navigating Sleeplessness with a doctorate in insomnia from the University of Oxford. “It can be quite unpleasant to listen to, so there are other options including green, brown and pink noise that have quieter high frequencies.” It also has a cry sensor that will detect your little one’s crying and start playing the last sound it was set to and turn on its soft red glowing nightlight. To call the Hatch Restore 2 a white noise machine would be like calling a Bugatti Veyron a little run-around. While other machines that I tried offer help at nap or bedtime, the Hatch is a “companion” that has so many moving parts and considerations that it’s like having a little sleep therapist on your bedside table.If you’re going through the menopause, your sleep is likely to be a bit disrupted and you may be more susceptible to waking up to sounds as your tolerance for it may change.
