The music maker machine was an amazing "help get your baby to sleep" tool for our family. Thanks goes out to one of my Mom's best friend's daughters (follow that?) for giving us one as a baby shower gift while pregnant with Brooklyn.
It is a simple concept, far from genius, but not everyone seems to know about this little music maker machine. In truth, it is called a "Melodies and Motion Soother"...just in case you want to gift one to your favorite Mom-to-be. I gifted one to a good friend of mine and promised I would explain how I use it. Being that she is due tomorrow, I figure today would be a great day to do just that. It is simple really. Every time, I mean every time, we laid Brooklyn in her crib to sleep we would press the button to turn on the same song with lights. That's it. Seriously. I don't know why it works but it does. All of our kids found mobiles to be scary (I came to this conclusion by the screaming that took place when I would turn the mobile on) but loved their music maker machines. When they were babies the music maker machine was attached the the crib. As they got bigger, they preferred to put them in their beds. They all still sleep with them, even Brooklyn.
I am not saying that this is the only reason why the kids finally slept but it sure seemed to make a difference. We worked it in to their nighttime routine, which seems to differ greatly from kid to kid. Heck, it's worth a shot if you are struggling to get your little one to sleep. Sleep deprived Moms will try anything!
