Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I had seen similar products while pregnant but thought they were sort of a silly waste of money and didn’t get any. We do have a white noise machine with lots of different settings. After the baby was born and she decided that screaming was her favorite pastime, many people suggested the 5S soothing techniques from the happiest baby, one of which is shushing. Well after scream shushing in my daughter’s ear for hours on end, I got tired and remembered similar products to this one. So I came to amazon for my daily ‘save me I don’t know what I’m doing with this tiny human’ shopping binge. I found the other shusher for 30 something dollars and just couldn’t justify it, but after reading reviews for this one, it seemed that people liked it better and the price was more reasonable. I hit buy faster than my baby can spit up on the first clean shirt I’ve worn all week and never looked back. My baby likes the white noise machine too but this is an actual “Shhh” sound which is completely different and gets her to calm down, where the white noise helps to keep her asleep. I love that it’s portable since you will want it with you everywhere you go. I’ve even taken it in the car on longer trips. I like that it can be stood up or laid on its side or laid right in the bassinet or swing with the baby. I like that I can start out loud to overcome her screams and then gradually decrease the volume. I like the adjustable timer and that it’s easy to use. I have not used the night light portion except by accident or any of the sounds except the shushing. My only complaint is that the buttons can be difficult to find, especially in the dark, and especially especially when you’re sleep deprived and have the mental capacity of a baby yourself. But this is a minor complaint, I would still recommend this product to friends having babies. I also would sometimes like to leave it on longer than 30 minutes for those times when the baby is making you earn that title of mother. It always seems to find a way to turn off at the absolute worst times.
