New parents have a lot of responsibilities to juggle, including creating a solid sleep routine for their little one — and it takes real effort. Crib? Check. Swaddle? Check. Baby Monitor? Check. But what about a sound and light machine? These aesthetically pleasing nursery staples are truly game-changing.
If you’re not familiar with the basics, they simulate the natural progression of dawn, gradually brightening a room and gently nudging your little one awake. Many models pair this brightening feature with nature sounds that slowly increase in volume as the room becomes fully lit. They also work well at bedtime, dimming like a sunset and helping lull your little one off to dreamland.
Sound like something you need in your life? We’ve got great news! One of the most reviewer-loved models, the Hatch Baby Sound Machine, is on sale right now for $109.99. That’s 21% off its original price of $139.99.
Now, let’s get into the details.
The newest Hatch Baby model is designed to help create healthy sleep habits for your little one. Far from a one-trick pony, it functions as a sound machine, night light, and sunrise alarm clock all in one. It’s also packed with features that come in handy while raising your baby.
With Time-to-Rise and Time-for-Bed settings, you can create the perfect sleep and nap schedules for your child. The colours and sounds are fully customizable, allowing you to build a bespoke routine based on their needs and block out any less-than-peaceful noises. Choose from soothing heartbeat sounds, white noise, or ocean waves (there are plenty of options) and pair them with a light colour and brightness of your choosing. If your little one is afraid of the dark, you can switch on nightlight mode.
If you need guidance while crafting your baby’s sleep routine, take advantage of real-time sleep support in the companion app. Hatch Sleep Consultants offer 1:1 chats, and you can also browse or listen to baby sleep guides for additional help. The app also gives you access to the Sleep Library, which is filled with bedtime stories, curated playlists, dreamscapes, guided rest exercises, and other curated sleep content. With your purchase, you’ll get a six-month subscription to Hatch+, which gives you access to premium features that you can extend with a subscription fee or scale back to the basic settings when you prefer.
As for design, it’s downright adorable, with a chunky, nursery-friendly build available in three colours (Putty, Mint, and Greige). A large centre button lets you start, stop, or pause your routine without reaching for your phone, and a quick tap shows you the time. A nightlight button gives you the option to add soft illumination, while everything else can be fine-tuned and managed remotely through the app.
In short, the Hatch Baby Sound Machine is a great option for any parent seeking to help their child create a solid sleep routine. And, since all the features can be adjusted to meet their changing needs, they can use it throughout their childhood.
