White noise is one of the methods used over time to calm children who are agitated or unable to fall asleep. These sounds remind the baby of the time he was in the womb, producing a calming effect. Rules to calm your baby down: 1) Soft lights 2) Belly up 3) Cradle with rhythm 4) Breastfeed or use a pacifier Set the timer, choose the volume and the app will continuously play your favorite sound. As soon as the time runs out, the sound will stop, allowing you to save battery. This app also works offline too, no one can disturb your baby's sleep and he will be safe from annoying notifications. You will find these categories of sounds: - Sounds of nature (sea, fire, wind, night, heartbeat) - Noises of the city (car, train, plane) - Noises of house (hairdryer, radio, fan, clock) - Lullabies that will make your baby relax Try this app and you will realize how necessary it is!
