Incognito on Peanut: Against white noise

I just wanted to put it out there as a mother of 2 that I’m really against white noise. I did it with my first child for a while till I realised it made him sensitive to noise if it wasn’t on so I stopped using it & just let him sleep without it which took abit of time to adjust to. Then I saw my brother & sil using it on their baby & they’ve been doing so for 6 months & for every single nap & bedtime, she cannot sleep without the white noise being on, everyone has to be quiet around her when she sleeps or she’ll wake up & for that reason the white noise has to be played on the tv on volume 13! With my 2 month old I decided not to use it at all & she is such a good sleeper because of it, my son is now a toddler & also has speech delay & autistic plus has severe eczema so screams when frustrated or for any reason & she’s gotten used to it & doesn’t wake up, even at night, she’ll sleep through everything he does. So my advice here is, please let your little ones get used to loud noises & try to put them to sleep without white noise coz now my brother & sil are struggling to take away the white noise & everyone in that house hates it when it’s her nap time because they can’t do anything without her waking up, even unplugging a charger wakes her up. Babies become dependent on it that even going out & the noise outside will startle them sometimes so please try to not use it if you can, just for your sake as it will be difficult after to stop using it x
