Great for baby's room (and your room!)
We bought this for our daughter when she was a newborn.  She has always slept with it and I think part of the reason she is such a good sleeper is because of this!  For the first little bit she was in our room and I have really missed using this at night to sleep!  I almost bought myself one!<br /><br />Why this is perfect for baby:<br />-The sound is not recorded so it doesnt repeat the same pattern over and over.<br /><br />-I love that it just has an on/off switch, I didnt want a sound machine that was going to turn off after my daughter fell asleep<br /><br />-It helps cover noises in the rest of the house.  My daughter will sleep through the doorbell ringing and the fire alarm going off but as soon as I go into her room and turn off the sound machine she start to stir<br /><br />-It's pretty portable, we always take it on vacations/ trips to grandmas<br /><br />-You can change the sound by rotating the top part or the sides, if we know things are going to be a little louder we can adjust the sound conditioner accordingly<br /><br />Other thoughts:<br />-I like to sleep with a fan so I found the noise this makes to be very soothing.  If you like to sleep with a fan then you will love this!<br /><br />-Dont expect this to cover up every noise, thats not really the point, it will help drown out other noises so if you are asleep or working you wont be distracted by them.  I know some people complain about this, but to completely block out all other noises that sound conditioner would have to be really loud and I think that would be worse than the offending noises.  It's sort of like wearing earplugs, you can still sort of hear things but they dont bother you anymore.<br /><br />-Be to follow the instructions not place the sound conditioner right next to your head (like your nightstand) and it will work better.  This seems counterintuitive, but it works.<br /><br />Bottom line:  This is worth every penny!  For us, this was a splurge.  We didnt have a lot to spend on baby stuff but this made the cut and was WELL worth it, still in use today (1.5 years later). We are about to have another baby so we just bought another to have in our room when she gets home from the hospital and I am excited to keep it when she shares a room with her sister!  Don't be surprised if you buy this for your kid and end of stealing it from them!
