Many helpful hints came our way, but the
most helpful of those helpful hints was the Sleepy Sounds App.
We realized Thea fell asleep quicker when
we shhhhhhhhhed her to sleep. So instead of shhhhhhhhing ourselves hoarse every
night, we downloaded the app and selected white noise as our favourite sound.
We use it when putting Thea to bed or at night in the car so that she doesn’t
cry for the whole journey home.
BTW, other options on this app were nature
sounds, lullabies and your own tunes. We liked white noise the best and by the
time the app upgraded to variations of white noise like tumble dryer versus
vacuum cleaner, it was too late. Thea was stuck on the sound of rain lulling
her to sleep. Rain is not a bad sound to sleep to – it reinforces the image of
a grown up Thea, snuggling under the blankets on a rainy day with hot chocolate
and a good book.
