Baby Shusher Portable Sound Machine - Mom-Like 'Shh!' Sound for Baby, Sleeping Soother, Newborn Essentials for Crib, Battery Operated Hush, Travel Friendly, Shower & Registry Gift - 1 Count

Love it. It has been a total live saver. If you’re on the fence about whether you need a dedicated shusher, let me tell you—you do. Our LO loves rhythmic noise, and while making the "shushing" sound ourselves works, it’s exhausting to do for 20 minutes straight at 3 a.m. The Baby Shusher mimics a parents voice perfectly. It has two timer settings (15 and 30 minutes), which is usually more than enough time to get our LO to drift off or calm down. It’s small enough to toss in the diaper bag so easy to use on the go. Has an adjustable volume which comes in handy when a loud crying spell comes on, and easy and simple to use. No apps or screens. Just twist the top to turn it on. It has definitely made our bedtime routine much smoother. Highly recommend for any exhausted new parent!

Works great for newborn sessions! The only thing I don’t love is that it only stays on for 30 minutes max. I wish it had an option to stay on. Other than that, great!

Amazing! One of my top baby products we use. Every baby needs this. Definitely helps baby calm down. I highly recommend! I also like how small it is. It’s easy to travel with. You can adjust the noise level to what you want.

If you are new parent or buying for a new parent! This is an absolute must have. I did not purchase this until my baby was about a month old and I wish I had it so much sooner. As a new mom or dad when you are trying to settle a very cranky baby you find your self shushing so what feels like hours. This thing does the shushing for you! Saving your checks, jaws and lips from over tiredness. It can be really quiet of really loud, I love how adjustable it is. It is compact so you can easily take this everywhere with you. It will calm your baby! Only downfall is that it is runs on a 15 minute or 30 minute timer. You will have to restart it after the times done as there is jo way to keep in on as a constant noise.

After realizing how much my baby likes being shushed, I ordered one of these from the hospital 36 hours after giving birth. It definitely helps to soothe him and spares me hours of shushing him myself. Taking 1 star off because I wish it was easier to turn on/off with one hand. You have to twist the fat end of it to turn it on, which can be difficult if you’re holding your baby.

*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.

This has been such a frustrating product to use. The concept is brilliant - if your baby responds to "shusing," he/she will very likely respond to this product. The sound is remarkably accurate to the sound I make when soothing our baby, and she responds to it well. If your baby doesn't respond to shushing, this isn't going to work for you. The frustration comes from the utterly horrible design: 1. The size - it's about the size of a can of soda. This is a simple machine and I know how big an iPod Shuffle and small Bluetooth speaker would be, and there's no reason this can't be smaller. 2. INABILITY TO USE ONE-HANDED. This drives me insane. Think of the situation in which this will be used - you're holding your screaming child, probably getting a little desperate, and now you have to figure out how to use this stupid thing with one hand, or set down the kid. There are only two controls - one for volume, and one for on/off (which includes two timer settings). Both are controlled by twisting. There is no reason the controls couldn't be buttons to allow you to turn it on/off with one hand. 3. You can't set it down. The only flat surface is the bottom, which is also the speaker... The designer should flat out be slapped for this. So you set it down the only way it's stable, and you can't hear it. Or you set it down on its side, and it rolls anywhere but where you want it to be. Laughably poor design. 4. The silly lanyard is useless. Make it a clip so I can affix it to the sleeve of my shirt. Again, did they even ask a parent how this thing might be used in real life? Don't buy it. Yet. Wait six months until an intelligent product designer addresses these issues, and then buy what will be an amazing tool for soothing a fussy baby.

My little guy hit his 4 month sleep regression and I was DESPERATE to find something to help us all get some sleep. I heard moms were crazy about this shushing device, so I went ahead and splurged on the whole package. To be fair, it is super cute, but I have found most of it pretty useless. First of all, the pacifiers that come in the package are GIANT and they feel SO HEAVY. my baby has no idea what to do with it so we kind of use it as a teether during the day now, but it is definitely not able to be used as a soothie. He is 6 months, and 60th percentile, and he can't hold it in his mouth for more than 2 seconds. The muslin blankets are meh. They have a weird design of a questionable looking baby crying in some sort of math equation with the baby shusher that overall = picture of happy baby. Sort of hilarious, but I would like a cuter design, or maybe even just leave it plain. I feel weird about people seeing me with a crying baby on a blanket in public so I literally never bring it anywhere. It is deemed an expensive burp clothe at our house. Last, there is the shusher itself, which ACTUALLY proved to be useful...kind of. It is literally exactly what it says it is. It's a recording of a person shushing. That's it. The crazy thing is that it ACTUALLY kind of worked, and we were amazed! However, the timer only goes for either 15 or 30 minutes, which is super frustrating, because after the timer ends, my baby freaks out. I would love to leave it going all night for him, but it's not even an option, so it's pretty much useless to us now. In addition, the shape of the shusher is so strange. the only flat part is the speaker, so we can't put it on his night stand, because it will literally just roll off. In fact it has rolled off so many surfaces and caused a crash in our room that it has woken the baby several times this way. It DOES come with a way to hang it off of something like a hook, but we don't have anything nearby to make that work. Seriously I wish I just bought a regular sound machine with at least some sort of extra feature, that ACTUALLY stands on a flat surface. I hope this helps you sleep deprived parents! Hang in there, it DOES get better!
