      Comments about One Step Ahead Sounds for Silence Sound Machine with Book:

      Love that the timing can be from one hour to all night. We had noisy family coming to visit our 11 month old. This did the trick. I could play it during her nap time. Also I played it on a timer for an hour after she went to bed. Love the product. Would like a few more white noise choices though...they are a bit strange. More like womb sounds than rain or something else you may be used to.

          I LOVE this machine!! We had a second child who was much fussier than the first. We would spend much of our day trying to calm him and get him to sleep. He would be up multiple times a night. The first night we used this machine, he slept 3 hours longer!!! We started calling it the magic sound machine. It truly made a difference. Our son also went to daycare without it and didn't nap well. We sent it the next day and she commented on how much better he slept! We love this and would recommend it to anyone!

            Comments about One Step Ahead Sounds for Silence Sound Machine with Book:

            My daughter has been very difficult to get to sleep at night, get asleep again after her feeding that she wakes for, and to keep asleep during the day for nap times. Cat naps are getting to be challenging for both her and us parents! Last night, I used the white noise setting to help her fall asleep in her swing, and she fell asleep SO much faster than usual! And today, we kept the white noise on through her nap - which lasted FOUR HOURS!! I am so excited - we might actually start to develop a normal, daily routine thanks to this device, and I had a much happier baby!

            I have 2 other white noise machines, but they stay on for no more than 10-15 minutes and you have to keep restarting them. This one will either stay on until you turn it off, or you can set it to stop in 1 hour (60 minutes). I also like the lullaby music - it helps me transition her from play time to sleep time.

            The enclosed brochure about the "eat, play, sleep" cycle is very helpful - it is something we were already using, but helped my husband better understand why this is so important. This product has been a LIFESAVER!

            Other helpful features: It is lightweight and portable. Doesn't take up too much space on her dresser, and both plugs in (yay!!) or takes batteries so you can take it on the road with you (ie-camping). There are several white noise sounds, so you can play with it to see what you and baby seem to like best.

              I have an infant who is withdrawing from drugs and is fussy and hard to please. He has also developed colic. After MANY sleepless nights we were introduced to the Sounds for Silence Nursery sound machine. [...] I opened the package and went straight to his room. I plugged it in, turned it on, and in about 30 seconds he stopped crying completely! At the one min. mark he even cracked a little smile. That night and every night since then he has slept through from about 8pm to 430am. I have tried a different sleep machine and it did nothing for him! This one is great! I HIGHLY reccomend it!

                Comments about One Step Ahead Sounds for Silence Sound Machine with Book:

                We received our TFY Sounds for Silence Nursery Sound Machine about a week ago. I waited to write a review to see if the results were just a fluke, or if they'd remain consistent. Our results are unreal!
                Our 3 month old son wouldn't go to bed easily- he'd scream, cry, look around the room, play with his swaddler, and just never seemed tired, despite it being 11pm, 12am, 1am, etc. He'd be awake for hours after putting him down, and the crying became exhausting to us (and our ears)! We had a sleep sheep we'd use, and it would turn off so quickly that we'd have to take turns pressing the button to let it play again (only lasts about 15 minutes). Once he was asleep, then came the dreaded feeding at 4am and diaper change...same routine all over again. Putting him down became extremely stressful, and something we dreaded.
                Then came the Sounds for Silence Nursery Sound Machine. This thing is incredible. First off, it can plug in, or use batteries...you can leave it on all night, or let it run for 60 minutes, which is SO much nicer than hitting a button every 15 minutes! It's small, light-weight, easy to use, and has great white noises and music!
                The first night we used it (on a Monday) we played the various white noises, and he slept the entire night, woke up at 8am smiling and I fed him immediately, fearing he'd scream from not eating in so long! The second night, again, he slept the entire night through! Unbelievable! The third night, he woke up at 5am, and my heart dropped. Back to the old routine- or so I thought! He ate, had a quick diaper change, and he was swaddled and put to bed. The entire time, I had the white noise playing...he was asleep within 2 minutes! The rest of our week was about the same- sleeping entirely through the night, or a quick feeding around 5 or 6am. Unreal!

                I never thought we'd see such great results. It sounds dramatic, but this has completely changed our lives. What was once a dreadful experience is now sweet...we can now stand over our son's crib smiling at him while he sleeps!

                    We started to use the sound machine when we moved our baby into his own room. It seems to help him sleep better and we feel free to move about our small house without waking him up. The night light is the perfect amount of light and I use the lullaby tunes during the day. The only problem I have had with it is it will turn off when only using the batteries. Other than that, we love it.

                      This sound machine is amazing! Not only does it have the sound and white noise options, it also has classical music. But most importantly is it has an mp3 option! So I can play soothing music at night and their favorite music during the day while they are playing. It also is a night light. There isn't a negative thing about this machine!

                            As a sleep sounds machine I use it for night time sleep and it is not appropriate at all for sleep. The piano playing is not a lullabye sound it is concert like and in my opinion, inappropriate to lull babies to sleep. They are very fast, and sound like they should be heard at playtime. The other sounds such as white noise, static, etc. are just as aghhh, unsettling!
