😴 Sleep · 0 – 12 months
🌧️ Using white noise for baby sleep
White noise is optional, not a treatment or a sleep-safety measure.
Golden rules
1. What to prepare
If used, keep the sound quiet and the device away from baby and the cot, with cables inaccessible.
2. What to check
Do not use loud continuous sound to mask crying. Respond to baby and keep usual safe-sleep practices; no device prevents SIDS.
