Playing White Noise CD will Soothe Colic Baby
Do you have an baby who cries excessively, especially in the evenings? Do you wish you could make it stop? Did this start around three weeks after you brought your baby home? If your baby is otherwise healthy and thriving, you may have a colicky baby. You need some relief. You need to mimic the sound your baby heard in the womb for 9 or so months to comfort and soothe your baby. You need to play some white noise for your baby .

So, what exactly is white noise? What type of thing is a white noise maker?
Well, actually, lots of things generate white noise.
Have you ever gotten sleepy while driving in the car? Or how about while listening to the hum of a fan? I know I do. In fact, I sleep with a fan on all year round.
That type of monotonous, rhythmic sound is what scientists call white noise. It's a frequency of sound that encompasses all the frequencies a human ear can hear. It's great for masking out all other sounds, and it's great for babies who are fussy and having trouble sleeping.
What does white noise have to do with colic babies?
I'm glad you asked. Let's do an experiment.
Put your hands over your ears. Do you hear something? That's the sound of the blood pumping through your ears. A baby experiences a sound similar to this while in the womb. Your baby remembers this womb noise and correlates it with a happy place where everything is safe and secure.
Although no one knows the exact cause of colic, a popular theory is over stimulation.
Scientists believe a newborn's immature nervous system simply can't handle all the stimulants in every day life. To relieve tension and unwind, the overstimulated baby cries; thus, the colic.
But how can white noise soothe your crying baby?
Playing a white noise cd can help to make your baby's transition easier. It will mask out other noises and simulate the sounds of the womb at the same time. If you use white noise to help recreate the noise your baby heard while in the womb and help simulate the sights of the womb, you are on your way to calming your colicky baby.
Here are some additional suggestions for recreating the sights and sounds of the womb:
-
Lower the lights, pull drapes, close blinds
-
Reduce any extraneous stimulation (i.e. TV, Radio, loud talking, etc.)
-
Swaddle your baby
Why should I trust your colic advice?
You don't have to. I'm not a doctor, I'm just a mom from the midwest. But, I found something that worked for us, and I wanted to spread the word. I just knew there were other parents and caretakers out there just like me.
After one long, horrible evening of uncontrollable screaming, I was desperate. I decided to try a crazy method I had heard about...turning on our vacuum cleaner. Desperate times call for desperate measures, right?
I pulled out the vacuum and plugged it in. And much to my surprise, she IMMEDIATELY stopped crying.
Running the vacuum cleaner to soothe her colic worked. And it kept working. But I really didn't want to burn up the motor in my vacuum; so, I turned to my family for help.
My family is in the music industry and helped me to studio record an hour long sample of a vacuum cleaner running. My husband and I played this recording every evening for my daughter with 100% success. The crying spells stopped. We'd load up the CD player and put it on repeat so it would play for hours. My baby slept soundly, and we gained back our sanity.
This is the same recording I offer to this day. It's not high-tech, it's simply a Hoover upright running for 60 minutes. When it works, it works!

 I used the white noise CD for our colicky baby religiously for 6 months. I burned copies for my girlfriends and relatives with colicky babies. Pretty soon, the idea dawned on me that more mothers could benefit from this same recording. So we started Colic Baby Bootcamp to offer it to the public.
