without drugs or "crying themselves to sleep." Help your baby infant or child relax and fall into a safe natural sleep
with How are SleepLullabies.com CDs different from other lullaby CDs? Why the medical community supports the benefits
of white noise for babies
How are our
lullabies different?
SleepLullabies.com CDs and cassettes offer more than just collections of lullabies, baby songs and nursery rhymes. Instead, every album of lullabies and nursery rhymes embeds the delicate sound of soothing white noise in melodic calming music arrangements to help your infant baby or child -- even babies with colic -- unwind, relax and often times fall into a safe, natural and peaceful sleep. We then integrate nature sounds -- a mother's heartbeat, gentle ocean waves, sounds of the forest, and more -- to heighten the sense of peacefulness and positive well-being. Fussy or crying children, as wells as babies with colic, can cause stress in a family. Not only are the children unhappy, but feelings of tension and stress are felt by parents and other caregivers as well. Developed by the talented composers and audio/acoustics professionals at Reg Furlough Productions in state-of-the-art music studios, our baby lullabies CDs and cassette tapes can create the right mood with soothing music to sleep by. No need for drugs, colic remedies or baby "crying herself to sleep"! Yet, you don't have to take our word for it -- even prestigious hospitals and medical centers use our baby lullabies in their neonatal and pediatric units! You and your baby are sure to love one or more of our baby lullaby and children's sleeping music albums, each incorporating different sounds taken directly from Mother Nature and gently mixed with ear-pleasing music arrangements. And there's more:
Discover what hospitals know! When it comes to newborns, hospitals are committed to providing the best possible care. That's why many hospital neonatal units and nurseries, such as those in Duke Medical Center, Shands Children's Hospital and the Medical University of South Carolina, to name a few, have selected our lullabies and baby songs to soothe and calm babies. In fact, a leading hospital in St. Petersburg, Florida, plays the music in the playroom of its pediatric respiratory unit. This helps to keep the little patients' playtime relaxed and subdued, so they don't become overexcited and experience difficulty breathing. Find out for yourself what these hospitals know: our lullaby CDs help create the calm, serene environment needed to help even the fussiest infant relax and fall asleep. Don't forget, these lovely musical lullaby albums make thoughtful baby gifts, too!
Despite its name, white noise is not a noise but an ear-pleasing mix of steady whoosh sounds that seems to work its magic on babies. In fact, white noise is recognized throughout the pediatric medical community for its many benefits in easing colic, calming crying or fussy babies, and helping infants and children gently relax and fall asleep. That's why we add white noise to all our lullaby and nursery rhymes…it's a special touch that increases the effectiveness of the musical arrangements to calm and soothe baby. But don't take our word for it.

Colic is a common feeding problem in babies. You've taken the first step for relief by talking with your doctor. Listed below are a few things you can try to pacify your fussy, colicky baby. Try one thing at a time, so when you find what works, you'll know it.

Here are some ideas to try: Try constant background sound. Some infants with colic cry less when they hear a background sound that stays at a low, steady volume. When holding or rocking your baby, try making a continuous "shssss" sound. Other tricks to try include running a vacuum cleaner, turning on a kitchen or bathroom exhaust fan, or buckling your infant in a car seat placed next to a running clothes dryer. Never put the car seat on top of the dryer because it may fall off. A fish tank motor or blowing hair dryer turned away from the baby also may help. Or try playing a tape or a CD of environmental sounds such as ocean waves, a waterfall or gentle rain. Tapes are also available of a human heart beating. This sound may soothe your baby. Some babies even seem to respond to classical music. When your baby finally does fall asleep, a steady background sound makes it less likely you'll accidentally wake your baby up. Some sounds, such as a ringing telephone, are too jarring. Turn the ringer off if a phone is in the room where your baby sleeps and put a "Baby is sleeping" sign on the door. Source: Colic MayoClinic
Why babies cry Although all crying can't be explained, there are universal reasons for crying. Because babies can't talk, crying is their way to communicate their needs and desires. If your baby's crying puzzles you, consider the following possible reasons: ...Overtiredness or overstimulation. For babies that are overtired or overstimulated, crying may be the best way to unwind and release tension. You may notice that your baby's fussy periods occur at predictable times during the day, and for average and active babies, they usually peak when the baby is around 6 weeks old. If your baby cries from being overtired, reduce the noise, movement and visual stimulation in the area. "White noise," such as the continuous, monotonous sound of a vacuum cleaner or a recording of ocean waves, often can relax and lull your baby by blocking out other, extraneous sounds. Try placing your baby in the crib, closing the door and setting a timer for 15 or 20 minutes, letting him or her unwind until the timer goes off. If your baby still hasn't settled down after this period, it's time to check for other reasons for the crying. Source: Infant crying and fussiness Mayo Clinic What is colic? Colic is a catchall word used to describe a baby who cries daily for several hours at a time, usually at the same time each day. There is no known cause and no sure cure for colic other than time. Almost all babies outgrow colic by 3 months of age. If your baby won't stop crying, you may want to try the following ideas to help calm your baby:

Helping Baby Get to Sleep Every parent wants to encourage good sleep habits, but this can be very difficult. Some helpful hints are provided here. Background "White" Noise: Source: Sleeping HeliosHealth.com Practice Makes Perfect Continue to pay careful attention to what soothes your baby in the evening too. "A bath may be calming for one child and invigorating for another," Lerner says. You might also want to try adding white noise, says Carl Johnson, Ph.D., a psychologist and pediatric sleep researcher at Central Michigan University, in Mount Pleasant. "The hum of a fan or air conditioner or a radio set on static works well for many infants. The good thing about white noise is that you can fade it out over time, once your baby begins to sleep more predictably." Source: Teach Your Baby to Sleep (In Just 7 Days) Parents.com
