Most loved items from Indy Night Nanny’s sleep experts
As a new parent, it can be hard to know which items truly make your life easier, but our team of trusted sleep experts have done the work for you! Our night nannies spilled the beans on their tried and true favorite items to help create restful nights in the nursery.
Sound Machine
“When we say white noise, we mean rain and this sound machine has the best tone that goes loud enough for optimal use for newborn sleep,” said Indy Night Nanny owner, Zaneta Evans. “It has battery backup as well so when the lights go out it keeps on going and doesn’t wake baby up! Don’t forget to put a piece of black tape over the blue on light— keep that nursery dark!” Our team loves the sound of the Homemedics rain setting
Egg Light
Our team loves the egg light because you can take it around the room with you wherever light is needed whether you’re changing, feeding, checking on baby. It is also dimmable and rechargeable with up to seven hours of battery life. A great tool for on-the-go mamas. A great nursery tool!
Humidifier
Humidifiers are especially great in the winters to help with the cold, dry air. A cool mist humidifier can help the air in baby’s room remain moist. This can help baby breathe easier through an respiratory infections or help prevent dry patches on baby’s skin like eczema. (Nanny tip: Many humidifiers also emit light, so be sure to choose one that allows you to turn off the light to keep the nursery as dark as possible.)
Baby Shusher
The baby shusher is an added tool in addition to a sound machine. We use the shusher when baby cries, needs crib soothing or a quick pick up and sooth. “This doesn’t replace a sound machine and is only a replacement for the caregiver trying to shush baby endlessly at 2am,” said Zaneta. “The baby shusher sounds like someone shushing!” This tool also has a timer. You can set it for 15 or 30 minutes, and it will automatically turn off once the time is up. (Nanny tip: You can toss this in the crib or bassinet with baby and it will turn off when done!)
Magnetic Me Pajamas
Few things send mamas into panic mode like a full on meltdown, especially in the middle of the night! These Magnetic Me PJs help make those dreaded late night diaper changes quick and easy. (They’re also super soft!) The magnetic closures make it so quick to undress + redress during the night.
