sound machines

I'm willing to try anything to help our bedtime routine, so does anyone have a sound machine rec?  Did it help your Lo?  I'm confused about when to turn it on, while she's falling asleep or just when I put her in the crib?

Things greatly improved once we got a box fan for my son's room. The box said "3 quiet speeds" which I didn't want but turned out the fan is really loud. Perfect! I keep it on all night, pointing OUT of the room so he doesnt' get cold. Every other noise machine I found turns off after a certain period of time and I didn't want that.

We have a "my baby" soundspa lullaby.  It also has a projection screen so if she wakes up early she can entertain herself for a few mins by looking at the light. We leave it on all night and turn on when she is drowsy.

We have an homedics sound spa that we got off Amazon. I also have a little homedics sound machine that is about the size and shape of a baseball that we take in the diaper bag with us. Neither of them have a shut off time but they both have a timer that you can set to turn off at a certain point.

I just burned an hour of white noise onto a cd and have it on repeat in a cd player. I turn it on right when I go into  the room to put him down.

We have a Homedics cool mist humidifier that also has a sound machine on it with 4 different sounds.  It plugs in so we leave it on all night.  I turn it on when I take him in there for bed time and I nurse him to sleep.

I use a white noise app on my phone.  I turn it on when I am getting her ready for bed.

We got the graco sound machine from walmart and it's awesome. It's made for babies and it will play white noise all night. It also can do nature sounds or heartbeat. It has lullabies as a choice too or you can also plug in your MP3 player. It has a built in night light you can turn on and off as well.
