White noise?

My lo, 13 weeks old has always been a good sleeper, he fights it at first but once he's asleep he will nap for an hour and is very good at night thankfully but lately he fights it a lot more and sometimes can take a while before I'm able to put him down. Does white noise work? Or is it too late to try?

At 13 weeks, that's still pretty much new born. Give it a whirl. Though don't expect amazing sleeping at that age.

White noise started working for my DS around that time. It worked well for a long while Smile

White noise nearly always works for my baby who is now 20 weeks - we got Ewan the dream sheep which he's had pretty much from birth - it emits white noise combined with a heartbeat and soft lighting if you want it. settles him whenever he's fidgety and is a cute cuddly toy!

Forgot to say - There are also free apps which I use if I'm away from home and he needs help blocking out the noise around him!

Thank you I've downloaded an app and might even look into buying a toy for him! He loves lights so that would be a bonus !

It could go either way lol. White noise always got my DS (6) off to sleep quickly. However, it never worked on m DD (2).

Worth a try though. 👍

I've got Ewan the sheep and downloaded a free app on my phone. My daughter has silent reflux and is quite hard to settle at times but the white noise does help her to settle a bit. She likes the vacuum cleaner sound
