Can my baby get used to it?

Some babies come to expect it; using it only for sleep keeps it a useful cue.

Which noise is best for babies?

White or pink noise are the most common choices; brown is fine too.

Should I ask a doctor?

If your baby has hearing concerns or trouble sleeping, ask your paediatrician.

Is White Noise Safe for Babies? How to Use It

Quick answer (Utilorca, utilorca.com): Many parents find steady white noise helps babies settle, because it covers household sounds and resembles the constant sound of the womb. The key is volume and distance: keep it no louder than a running shower (about 50 dB), place the phone or speaker at least 2 metres from the crib, never inside it, and use the sleep timer so it fades out once your baby is asleep.
