How to Use
1. Choose sound based on baby's age
Womb sounds or heartbeat for newborns, nature sounds for older babies
2. Keep the volume low
Use the lowest volume setting. The percentage controls playback volume; it does not measure the dB level at your baby’s ears.
3. Place the speaker far away
Keep the speaker as far from your baby as possible, outside the crib and off its rails.
4. Limit playback time
Stop playback once your baby falls asleep instead of leaving it running throughout sleep.

- Never put the speaker inside the crib or on a crib rail.
- Watch your baby’s response and stop playback if they seem uncomfortable or cry more.
