In the womb, your baby is constantly exposed to sounds of over 95 dB. However, to ensure your baby’s safety, the Baby Shusher’s volume is below 85 dB.
Our recommendation is to start the Baby Shusher at a volume level loud enough to catch your baby’s attention and engage their calming reflex, then reduce the volume to match your baby’s calming state.
How Close Should The Baby Shusher Be To My Baby?
The Baby Shusher should be less than two feet from your baby to be most effective. This will ensure that they can hear the rhythmic shush above their own cry. The Baby Shusher is meant to stop your baby from crying, not simply to act as background noise, and the rhythmic shush can be lost if the Baby Shusher is not close enough for your child to hear and engage with it.
