How to use white noise safely
- Keep the volume low: about as loud as a soft shower, and never at full volume.
- Place the phone or speaker at least two metres from the cot, never in it.
- Use a sleep timer so the sound fades out once your baby is asleep.
- Want to use it all night? Keep it extra quiet.

Frequently asked questions
Is white noise bad for my baby's hearing?
At a low volume and at a distance, it's generally considered safe. Keep it quiet and don't place the speaker near your baby's head.
Should it play all night?
It's not necessary. Many parents use a timer so it fades out after they fall asleep.
