It's worked for both of my children

"We heard about this CD on National Public Radio and bought it shortly it before our son was born. It sounded like a silly idea, but we found that it really did help to calm him and put him to sleep when nothing else would do the trick (i.e. bottle, change of diaper). We particularly got lots of mileage out of Track 4, the vaccuum cleaner. We'd typically just program our CD player to repeat this track a few times in row. A neighbor of ours told us that she actually wore out a real vaccuum cleaner by running it to calm her kids when they were babies. Obviously the CD approach is a little nicer here (and probably a little easier on the ears.) Now we are on our second child, and Track 4 is once again coming to our assistance!"

Life Saver!

"Our son had some colic issues when he was young. From 6pm until about 4am he would be upset and crying. Everytime we got him to sleep he would be back up again in 15min. We started using a hair dryer and that seemed to work but was a fire hazard at the same time. We then got this CD - what a life saver! His favorite was the vacuum. We set up the CD to repeat on this track and he would settle right down to sleep. The sounds would really calm him down. We now buy this CD for all of our friends. We would never survived those initial months of colic without this CD."

Wonderful!

"This is a great CD! Each track fades up to full volume at the start and fades down to silence at the end. This makes it nice to just play the entire CD or to loop one track since there are no sharp changes from one noise to another. So far the Car and Washing machine tracks seem to be our baby's favorites. When she outgrows the need for this white noise CD, we'll transition her to lullaby or classical music. For now though, this CD helps us keep her on a schedule and well rested by helping keep her relaxed and usually asleep during her nap times. As a bonus, the Waves and Rain on the Roof tracks are soothing for grown-ups needing to drown out noise while they sleep."
