When is a good time to stop using white noise?Updated 2 months ago

As your baby grows, they may begin to associate certain sounds with sleep and may become less reliant on white noise for settling down. By around 12 months of age, many babies transition to using a comforter or other self-soothing methods, making white noise less essential. However, if your baby is still responding well to it, you can continue using it beyond this age.

If you do decide to stop using white noise, you can gradually phase it out by lowering the volume or reducing its use over time. White noise can also be a helpful tool when you're outside of your normal sleep environment, such as on vacation or during outings, as it can signal to your baby that it's time to sleep, making transitions smoother.

Ultimately, if it's still working for your baby, there's no rush to stop using it!
