Humming teddy bears - one could say that there are already legends about them. Some Parents admire them because of their effectiveness, while for others they are an unnecessary, even annoying gadget. What is it really like? Do teddy bears really have the secret power to soothe the baby? What is their operation and what is white noise?
In my post today, I'll try to answer these questions most nagging Parents about white noise and, more specifically, about humming toys for babies.
What's all the hype about - everything you should know about white noise
Humming teddy bears are practically one of the most popular toys for newborn babies. Most often they are a form of gift given by Grandmas and Grandpas, Aunts and Uncles and even friends. Often, however, humming toys also become the first choice of Parents, who, worried about their Baby's restless sleep, want to be prepared for all possible scenarios. What exactly is their phenomenon?
Humming toys owe their calming power to the influence of, so-called, white noise. Its characteristic feature is a constant frequency of sound. White noise in toys is quiet, fairly monotonous and steady. It can successfully imitate the sound made by a hair dryer, a range hood, or even raindrops hitting a window pane.
White noise, although it may not work as effectively on adults as it does on Toddler, it has many advantages. It aids concentration and is recommended for studying and working. White noise even has a sensational effect on the Youngest. It is said to mirror what the Baby hears while still in his Mom's tummy - her breathing and heartbeat. The steady sound of white noise after the birth of a Toddler calms and strengthens the sense of security.
Whisbear and other humming toys - is it worth it?
So if white noise has such a soothing effect on Baby, is it worth investing in humming toys for Newborns? It has been proven that such toys help soothe and put the Baby to sleep, but it should be remembered that a toy is not equal to a toy and, most importantly, with white noise can not be exaggerated.
Humming teddy bears differ not only in appearance, but also in technological solutions. The difference also applies to the price of such a toy. The cheapest humming bears can cost as little as a dozen euros and offer only to imitate certain sounds, such as the sound of the dryer. Higher-priced models include a whole package of functions, which Parents can select depending on the needs of a particular Toddler. It should be remembered, that the activated humming toy should not be in direct contact with the baby's ears. It should be at a distance.
Such humming toys most often come in the form of a cuddly toy. MoMi offers an interesting, and practical version of the humming toy in the form of a pendant with glowing cheeks, which will also gently illuminate the space around the crib. MoMI LULU additionally has sensory ears and legs.
Is it worth buying a humming teddy bear? Summary
The use of teddy bears is a very individual issue. Some Parents, can not imagine the first nights without it while others consider them, as I mentioned in the introduction, an unnecessary gadget that only takes up space in the baby's room. It is up to you, Dear Mom, and the needs of your child, whether you will want to take advantage of the extra help in putting your baby to sleep and calming him down.
