I have been a nanny/babysitter for years now and if there is one
thing I understand it is the need for naps! In the summer time this is
hard to handle, especially if you have older kids. When I used to care
for kids when I was living in Texas, summers were a big deal. The older
kids were out of school and needed to stay busy, while the younger
kids/babies needed their morning and afternoon naps. Now having a pool
is a wonderful thing, but the noise from the kids playing in the pool is
not so great during nap time. So I can honestly recommend, as well as
doctors and other parents, the use of sound machines.
Sounds
machines are the most amazing invention with a house full of children.
You turn it on during nap time, or before bed, and the children
immediately feel drowsy with the soothing sound. Plus you can make all
the noise you want without waking the baby! What more can you ask for!
Go ahead and try and see the positive results...
You
can literally buy sound machines anywhere. Another idea is if you have
cable connected for some reason in the babies room, go to the music
channels and find a soothing classical, or jazz channel. This is what my
nephew grew up on, and he loves classical music now.
Enjoy!
