Baby ShusherBaby Shusher Portable Sound Machine - White Noise Sound Machine, Baby Soother for Sleeping, Newborn Essentials for Crib, Battery Operated Hush, Travel Friendly - 1 Count

The media could not be loaded. I like the fact that you can adjust time- 15 minutes or 30 minutes. It would be nice if you could leave to play continuously. It is easy to clean. I thought the price was reasonable. Shipping was very quick. I bought for my daughter to use on her new baby. Her baby was brand new and cried a lot. I didn’t know how well the Shusher would work but figured it was worth a try. It worked really well! It helped a lot with the fussiness- soothing baby! It’s nice that it’s a small size and very portable. My daughter’s one year old did throw it at one point and it did hiccup - making a different sound but did go back to working normally.

Don’t have kids but bought this for a friend as a baby shower present because I thought it seemed useful if it worked and funny. My friend said it was the best gift they received because it was so useful and works great and called it a ‘life saver’. Bought for another friend expecting later and received the same feedback. Very happy with the purchase and will definitely buy again as my go to gift for baby showers.

Showed its value the very first day I received it and used it straight out of the package. It definitely helps with my newborn and his night feedings. I can just put it beside his bassinet after I’ve burped him and it does the work of getting him back to sleep, quickly too!

*edit* my sis said she used this for about a month and it just stopped working. She replaced the batteries and still nothing. Hoping we can get a replacement one. It worked GREAT up until it crapping out though. I still think it's a great buy, just stinks that it doesn't work anymore.I bought this for my sis, who just had her first baby last week. I bought it solely based on a blogger that I follow who said and I quote "we don't go anywhere without it"...that's all I needed to hear to buy it. They've had it for 4 days and it's always wherever the baby is. They said it calms my nephew down when they change his diaper (pre-Shusher he would get fussy). It helps him sleep and just provides great white noise. It's ridiculously easy to use. Three notches are for 30 min, 15 min and off, it's basically goof-proof. The price seemed a little high for it just shooshing but I babysit and shooshing with your own mouth gets tiring after 10 or 15+ min and my mouth starts to go numb, plus you can't talk, so this is definitely gets an A+ just for that alone. They haven't had it long enough to give feedback on the battery life, but I think it takes batteries, and you can get them at the dollar store, so I don't foresee that being an issue. I'm honestly debating getting one for myself, to take with me when I babysit, for my box of tricks. I also love this because it's portable, the other huge plus, most kids I sit for have sound machines, which are great, but they stay plugged into the wall and don't get moved around, this is light and easy to toss in a bag or place next to the car seat on a car ride.

The media could not be loaded. This product is good. Helps my baby sleep or when she is fussy. The sound can be adjusted so it will give you a loud or low “shush”. Great for traveling as it is small enough to carry anywhere. There aren’t any buttons but you do have to twist it to turn it on. The only thing I don’t like about it is that it doesn’t give you a timing option for how long you want it to stay on. It will die on you.

*** UPDATE #2 ***We've had this for almost 2 months, and I have to admit it gets used A LOT!! Sometimes we used the apps on our phones, sometimes we use this, and sometimes we use Shusher together with the apps. It just depends. It's nice to have something separate from our phones. Sometimes we make the shushing sounds ourselves, take the baby outside for a minute, change positions, give Baby a bath, etc. It another excellent tool for your baby toolbox.*** UPDATE ***I'm upgrading this product to 2 stars now, not that it really matters, but I just want to be fair. After using this product for several weeks I've found that it does work 1 out of 3 - 4 times. Also it's speaker is bigger, so it appears to be a little louder than my phone. I still would not have bought it had I known, nor do I recommend this product to anyone else, because it just isn't worth the price for what you get :(*** ORIGINAL REVIEW ***You are probably like me, a parent of a newborn. The newborn could be a few weeks old which means they are in the 'PURPLE' period of crying, and you desperately want a break, especially at night. Right? Don't waste $32 of your money on this. It MAY or MAY NOT work on your child since every child is different. If it works, great! But why go through the extra hassle when you're trying to make your life easier. My 2 wk old son is very responsive to the 'shush' sound from the 'BABY SLEEP INSTANT' android app (or "Sleepy Sounds" for iOS) which has 10+ sounds and is FREE! He also likes the ocean sound that his Munchkin Nursery Projector and Sound System makes ($25 at your local Walmart) which is also the only sound machine for babies that is voice activated (however, it isn't sensitive enough imho). The point is that there's other apps and products out there that are cheaper and are probably more effective than this one. You could try the $4.99 Baby Shusher app which is a fraction of the price but no more effective. If you read all of this and are still going to buy this product then at least save the box so you can return it. Hope this helps.
