Yeah I might try cut it from day sleeps.

He had a great night last night! Took him a little longer than usual to settle but not little terrors in the middle of the night. YAY!]]> Wed, 02 Nov 2011 09:31:52 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40900&PID=1403923&title=weaning-white-noise#1403923 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40900&PID=1403843&title=weaning-white-noise#1403843 Author: kandk

We use the radio that I had when I was a kid - back in the days before CD players were invented

I use it for DD if she wakes during the night, but I try not to use it during the day unless I have to. I have been trying to cut down the length of time I have it on (but someties I fall asleep ) So a work in progress. ]]> Tue, 01 Nov 2011 20:55:16 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40900&PID=1403843&title=weaning-white-noise#1403843 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40900&PID=1403682&title=weaning-white-noise#1403682 Author: SethsMama

Yeah I'll think i'll just keep going with weaning him off and see how the next few nights go.
He is teething off and on these days so I supposed that could unsettle him.

We use an Ipod dock Hopes...I will be glad to free my Ipod so I can start running at night again!]]> Tue, 01 Nov 2011 14:27:35 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40900&PID=1403682&title=weaning-white-noise#1403682 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40900&PID=1403636&title=weaning-white-noise#1403636 Author: Hopes

I was in no hurry to wean Jacob off ours, but I didn't want to use it unnecessarily, so whenever the batteries ran out of our machine I'd try him for a day without it. If he was harder to settle, I'd pop new batteries in it. The other month (when he was about 13 months or so?) he just didn't seem to notice, so I never put new batteries in it

Oh, and ETA for anyone thinking about buying something that makes white noise... don't do what I did and get a battery-powered thing! Buy a cheap CD player instead. Much more sensible!!!

I did white noise with DS1 and when I was weaning him I turned it off when I went to bed. He didn't have any reaction at all through the night, then or when I stopped turning it on at bedtime. I wouldn't have thought it'd be enough to give a scare...
It might also just be the stage hes at. They go through sleep changes when they're 8-9mo, he might be having weird dreams or something. If hes self-settling then I'd leave him to it for a few nights and see what happens.

Just wondering the experience of anyone who uses white noise to settle their child.
My boy is 8 months old and I have been using white noise since about 4 months.
I want to start weaning him off this dependancy before summer as we are traveling a lot, camping etc.
I've starting turning it down a little each night and he is still sleeping through except every 3 or 4 hours will have a very dramatic 30sec cry. He never really wakes up (by the time I get to his room he is sucking his thumb and back to getting to sleep.
I'm just wondering if taking away his comforting noise is giving him little scares everytime he wakes.
Any thoughts?]]> Tue, 01 Nov 2011 08:07:53 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40900&PID=1403506&title=weaning-white-noise#1403506
