The great thing about using sound therapy when there is a newborn in the home is that not only is it beneficial for the baby but also for the parents. When a baby first comes home, no one gets much sleep. After all, the baby is transitioning into an unknown world whereas first time parents are learning the ropes of caring for a tiny baby. Although the tiredness and stress does eventually slow down, parents and babies often need immediate means of coping. One way is by using a sound therapy machine. Realistic sounds produced help promote rest and relaxation, making it much easier to fall asleep. For the baby, this type of therapy creates a safe, comforting environment, which helps his or her mind and body relax. For the parents, the sound therapy machine works by blocking out thoughts and distracting noises. This does not mean a new parent would miss hearing the newborn cry, but other outside noises would be less annoying. The way a sound therapy machine works is by producing certain sounds that evoke peace while absorbing various noises within the home and transforming them into a single sound that has a calming effect. As sound is played, the baby or parent begins to drift off to sleep. With each night of restful sleep comes a day of improved energy. The biggest challenge is trying to determine which machine will work best for both baby and mom or dad. SleepMate 980A-This particular sound therapy machine is designed with high quality sound, electro-mechanical durability, a lightweight and compact design, dual or single speed option, and more. With a low price tag, this machine sits perfectly on the parent's nightstand or baby's dresser. LifeSounds 440-This option for a sound therapy machine is one capable of promoting a calming environment, perfect for a small baby. Some of the sounds produced include children's lullabies, heartbeat, and even sounds mimicking the inside of the womb. This machine also comes with sounds of a babbling brook, rain, and surf so as the baby grows into a toddler, he or she would continue to benefit. ObusForme-Featuring 10 high-quality digital recordings, this sound therapy machine works well for a baby's nursery and parent's bedroom.

Marpac Marsona DS-600A-This option for a sound therapy machine relaxes the baby and lowers stress in mom and dad. While the sounds of waterfall, rain, and lapping water create a relaxing atmosphere, the white noise capability works by absorbing unwanted noises such as traffic, appliances, barking dogs, etc. in and outside the home.
