The Gift of Sound Machines!

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!
