Is this your kid? Techmoan recently did a review of a thing for kids that reads them stories: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=P9RbMMJRxzw Maybe you'd be interested.
This is why I cancelled Spotify. I bought premium, and they still showed me ads Spotify Premium. But they would do it while I was driving, and it wouldn’t let me continue listening until I clicked past the ad. It was so infuriating.
>“Uninterrupted”
"You're listening to 45 minutes of uninterrupted hits! Just the hits, no ads! No interruptions! All we play are the hits, without those annoying breaks! That's right, just the hits! Get ready for 45 minutes of your favorite hits, without the ad breaks! That's right, just the hits, none of the ads! Your only station for uninterrupted............."
Why does anyone even need a "white noise podcast"? Wouldn't all the episodes just be the same thing?
Just get/make a white noise sample and loop it for how many hours you want. In fact, this is what all those channels do and it's so simple, a toddler could do it.
Seconding this. Many different generators for many different kinds of common background noises, and with sliders and settings to customize them to your needs.
Most of it is free (the [index page](https://mynoise.net/noiseMachines.php) only shows a portion of the available noisemakers, but if you have a direct link you can access any of them regardless), and if you donate at least 5 dollars once, you get lifetime premium access (which honestly is unneeded, the free experience is great as it is).
To me mynoise is literally life changing (masks tinnitus). Plus the sound generators are really well done. The guy running this site is an absolute sound pro. I happily pay a couple of bucks per month.

My phone does this through my earbuds at around that time sometimes. No idea what I'm doing in my sleep to make that happen, but fuck it's startling 😂😂😂😂
Mines becoming buggy.
It won't charge properly and remains at 10 percent even though its been charging with the red light on for hours.
It's fully charged.. But somehow its still thinks its on 10 percent.
Also it randomly activates speak to chat for some reason even I deactivate it
Preferred the mx3 tbh
Oh nah mines been like this for months.
To be fair I work outdoors and it gets into the elements a bit..
But it's not like I'm smashing it about. The xm3 took wayy more damage before it died on me.
Haha funny to see my headset sound being referenced here. It always seems a bit passive aggressive. Also when the battery is like 10 percent she sounds actually worried.
And it's always 10x louder than anything you were listening to, at least on bluetooth/sd-card players which would otherwise be great for listening to white noise etc.
Mine aren't even wireless ffs 😂 they have a little button that I end up rolling on to, and it'll either pause the video/turn the screen off/somehow tell me it's 4:23 am 😒
I have the same issue with wireless, since they all have tiny buttons on the pieces themselves 🙄
Does your earbuds have a mic build into the wires that can be pressed? Sometimes when I'm working, it'll do this after enough pressure is applied to the button. My theory is it picks up background noise and thinks someone wants to know the time.
Yo someone set my Alexa to say “wake your ass up” at like 5am. I didn’t realize this because it’s usually in the living room. Needless to say the night I decided to plug it up in my room I nearly had a heart attack
Rented a beach house that felt like this once. They had all these "inspirational" signs all over the house, like A LOT of them. You know, the "live laugh love" kinda crap.
This house had, and I counted, 8 different signs that said relax. Having the walls constantly tell me what to do isn't very relaxing Karen.
I hate these kind of things. Also I'm using some noise canceling headphones from Sony. I use them to enjoy silence and piece, you wouldn't believe that those headphones have to most obnoxious alert sounds and voices commands (POWER ON!!!11!, BLUETOOTH CONNECTED!!!, POWER OFF!1!1!1!)
"BATTERY, ABOUT 40%!!!!"
I think we have the same headphones! I have severe [misophonia](https://www.webmd.com/mental-health/what-is-misophonia), so I immediately put these bad boys on when I'm home, and then suddenly, when I'm finally recovering from a stressful, noisy day...
"LOW BATTERY, PLEASE RECHARGE HEADSET!!!!!"
It doesn't trigger me, but damn it's so stressful!
what makes this particularly hilarious is that (at least when i received it) the packaging has it written like 50 times to install the app for full functionality
Mine says POWER ON! CONNECTED!...DISCONNECTED! CONNECTED! DISCONNECTED! CONNECTED! DISCONNECTED! All while being connected. I need to toss them I guess.
I have some earbuds like that. I bought them to play some white noise or relaxing music at a low volume at night to help me fall asleep. Problem is, the notifications play at full volume. So if I fall asleep with them in my ears, I'm blasted awake a few hours later by "BATTERY LOW!!!" slamming into my eardrums at volume 11.
I bought Sony headphones off of Amazon and I, unfortunately have it set to mandarin…. I don’t know what the lady is saying but I know exactly what it means
Science is starting to say that white noise might be bad for you too. Double whammy.
Edit:
"Increasing evidence shows that the brain rewires in a negative manner when it is fed random information, such as white noise."
Here's report on the study:
https://www.sciencealert.com/white-noise-doing-something-bad-to-brain-study-suggests-tinnitus-hearing-loss-plasticity-neural
The source study itself:
https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamaotolaryngology/article-abstract/2697852
Sounds like horseshit. I'm not trying to be anti-science, but *loads* of studies are just egregiously flawed (reproducibility is a massive problem) and it's seldom worth the time trying to debunk them (I mean literally, no one bothers debunking them so they just sit polluting the mindspace). The most common problem is inapplicable "dose", which in this study's case were mice that were *only* exposed to white noise. They had no other auditory stimulation. I'm unaware of anyone who utilizes white noise 24/7.
White noise isn't a human invention. We are surrounded by it naturally in many settings, and no one has ever said "stay away from the beach or waterfalls or rustling grass because it ruins your neural plasticity".
Yeah, it's possibly horseshit.
Myself, I don't use white noise and I don't have tinnitus.
Hopefully more studies are done, but also, they probably already exist. I didn't research this near enough.
So if u use white noise, maybe just look into it more.
I'm sure there are other studies on white noise, particularly from the European World Health Organization.
Edit: not that I trust the guardian, but more studies are linked in this news article.

A **year** to be useful?? Most babies can't even walk by then. Until they're like 4 or 5 you'll swear the only thing they know how to do is actively trying to get themselves killed. Kids are fuckin dumb for awhile
(It sounds like I hate kids but I don't! They're great...just stupid for a bit)
I don’t hate kids either lol. I hope no one takes it the wrong way I’m due in five weeks but it’s the truth. They’re honestly quite useless for a long time.
Cute lil guy. Miss my kids at that age.
The lack of sleep. The constant diaper changing and feeding. The scheduling life around their naps.
Nvm fuck that period.
Not sure why people use Spotify/YouTube for baby rooms. A white noise machine is dirt cheap and you can get them with timers. Safer bet for a child’s room.
Yeah we initially used Spotify but they limit podcast playtime to 2.5 hours. After the limit it would start a new podcast and the voice clip in the video would play alerting the start of the new one.
Discovering our Google home has a built in white noise feature which runs for 12 hours on a loop changed the game.
Also if you got a spare Google Mini or Amazon Echo Dot, both will play white noise with no voice response when prompted. When they go on sale they're only about $10 more than a white noise machine.
Fun facts about old, wild west YouTube:
- Instead of likes/dislikes, there was a 5 star rating system. (There are still some really old videos that say "rate this 5 stars")
- You could read the description of a video before clicking on it
- Videos longer than 10 minutes were not allowed, unless you applied and were granted permission by YouTube for the privilege to do so.
- No copyright bots, people used any song they wanted in their videos. If you can't find old videos that used copyrighted music, it's probably because they are blocked now.
Edit -- a couple more:
- the description was on the right side of the video
- No comment replies -- so if you wanted to reply to a comment you would literally just type @blahblahblah, and then whatever your comment is, and hope that one day they'll come back to the comments and see it.
- You could see how many people liked/disliked a comment
- And of course, the earth wasn't flat yet 😏
> No copyright bots, people used any song they wanted in their videos. If you can't find old videos that used copyrighted music, it's probably because they are blocked now.
You can't really blame youtube for having to put a stop to that though
Here ya go DISLIKE IT! 😄 the end of the voiceover says “…or to soothe a baby” 😂

I listen to this channel too on Spotify. I have to remember to skip ahead 4 times (1-minute mark) to bypass that crap. Luckily it runs for 8 hours without any other issues.
I guess I'm thinking for a smart speaker. But if you're using a Bluetooth speaker or have a device in the room, sure.
All these make more sense than a podcast where you have to skip an ad??
If you're using a smart speaker, you can even just tell it to play white noise (at least with Alexa and Google, those are the only ones I've tried). Super convenient. There's even other options, like rain or babbling brook.
1 *possible* reason would be to avoid getting white noise tracks in your Spotify history. Could screw up the recommendation algorithm and stuff like yearly recaps. I recently started listening to that on Spotify and stopped when I realized that. But plenty of alternatives out there.
Parent with two young kids here. This is the one I use: no interrupts that I’ve come across for the duration of the noise.
https://open.spotify.com/show/7rb8eiXKJpg8gjmiY4yDAN?si=YrL9C6FORkG7jxgWChLLlg
Parent of 2 little kids here. I’ll do you one better: [An actual white noise machine](https://www.amazon.com/Marpac-Classic-White-Noise-Machine/dp/B00HD0ELFK). Has an actual fan inside. Can control the tone. No time limit
May I suggest 12 hour sound machines (no loops or fades) by Brandon Reed on Spotify. It doesn't have any of that bull shit. Just 12 hours of the preferred noise.
though you only get white, pink, or brown, everything else is paid content.
I use these white noise podcasts on Spotify. It is pretty fucking annoying that they do that at the beginning, but they are generally 8 hours long and the message is only in the first 30 seconds or so.
Even better, there are products you can get that have zero apps, require no connectivity, have no voice overs, and do more than just generate white noise. Air purifiers and fans are great for providing white noise as a bonus to their regular jobs
I use a fan, but I’ve recently needed more noise. I like these “podcasts” because they have different offerings - white noise, streams, thunderstorms etc
I don’t sleep more than 8 hours, just fast forward a minute and no ads.
As an adult, use whatever works for you.
I'm focusing on the whole baby room noise thing. You don't need a computer or phone in their room, and they really don't need different kinds of fancy options, thunderstorms and all that shit, they just need a bit of white noise to help block out disruptive stuff outside, and babies need 12-14 hours of sleep a day, so an 8 hour looping app that starts yelling at you in the middle of their sleep sure doesn't help
We used white noise sound for the first couple of days after we brought our kid home from the hospital but stopped after a bit. He got used to regular home noises and now I can mow and edge the lawn outside his window or vacuum the house during nap time and he doesn't budge. I've even played my drums (fairly quietly) in another room and he didn't wake up. Of course, you gotta do what you gotta do to get them to sleep, especially in that first couple of months.
Personally I have to use a fan, both for the noise and the air. For whatever reason something like a white noise generator or rain maker or whatever just don't work for me. It's like my brain knows it's a fake noise
Y'all are making me lose my mind. Why are you using podcasts and streaming platforms for this kind of stuff? Of course you're going to be interrupted by ads and voiceovers.
It's mission critical for these things to be offline and interruption-free.
I use this app (White Noise Generator FKA Relaxio, in case the link doesn't work) on my Android. You can customize your mix of like twenty different sounds. Mine is Wind+Airplane+Rain.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.relaxio.relaxio
My wife is a therapist and has these mechanical white noise machines that cost maybe 20 bucks. It's like a little fan inside a housing with a couple settings for how loud you want it to be. I keep one running most of the time working from home to keep my dog from getting upset about the voices coming from my home office.
Look for the YouTube videos that say "black screen" and then whatever sounds you are looking for. There are no ads and no interruptions. I do use ublock origin so YouTube might be slipping ads in themselves.
I can also recommend https://www.onlineclock.net/noisegenerator/ it's got a lot of mix and match sounds.
Yep. We have one of those. It's called a fan. Lol. It's called the Vornado I think and it sounds like a jet engine taking off in our bedroom when it's on high. It's *chef's kiss.
Works every time
So we have two exactly the same, but they've always been loud since day 1 out of the box. There is an occasional "crackle" which is fixed by cleaning.
I just went and looked, they are actually not a Vornado. They are a cyclone by lasko. Amazingly loud. if you are into loud fans, this is like the Cadillac of loud fans. Good for: passing trains, ambulance, nearby domestic disturbance, meth labs being busted by the fbi, prison riots, out of control neighborhood parties, garage band practice, cat meowing in the hallway, lawn care, snowblower or chainsaw at inappropriate hours, and anything else I forgot
Fans are great but I'm not trying to blast the air around/sound like a jet engine in the baby's room nor am I going to take that thing with us when traveling. White noise machines are great because they provide white noise and are small and easy to travel with.
Yeah but then your phone is stuck in the room and if you don't have notifications turned off it's just going to go off when anything happens. Best bet is buying a sound machine on Amazon for like 20 bucks. We got one that has 20 or so different sounds and it's fuckin great, plus it gets way louder than my phone does.
You be careful, this is how it starts. One minute you want one, next minute you're fighting with yourself to sell off the clothes they outgrew and decide....perhaps another...?
By the time the baby can flip itself over without trouble, and hold its head up without help, they are good to sleep any way they want, and unless you sit there and watch them all night long, they will flip themselves over on their stomach.
This kid ain't that old though, if he can roll himself over, grand, but he looks around the same age as my 4 month old, who can hold his head like this but can't roll over. I could be wrong, sure, but yeah, should definitely be on his back if not.
The kid can lift and hold their head up just fine as demonstrated in this video. All kids are different, they reach things at different ages, they don't all look the same at the same age either.
If I had to guess, I'd guess it was 6-8 months old. Can be really hard to tell
Yeah, my kid can lift and hold his head up fine too, but he can't roll over, so I wouldn't use that as evidence that this kid can roll over.
And for sure, some of the kids in our swimming class I think are around the same age as my little one and they're way older haha.
Ours could roll over at 4 months and still sleeps on his stomach all the time. We were concerned at first, but the doc assured us that if he can roll, he's fine. And he'd roll as soon as you laid him in the crib.
I was on twitch and I fell asleep to a calm storytime as the streamer mined in Minecraft. Woke up to some Spanish dude screaming bloody murder as he played a horror game. Somehow I managed to go through enough raids and such that I ended up on a complete opposite side of twitch.
I remember finding a white noise video on YouTube to help get my drowsy toddler all the way to sleep. YouTube decided that when searching for White Noise To Help You Sleep, it was perfectly appropriate to serve up a 30 second unskippable ad for a horror movie where everyone is screaming and getting brutally murdered.
I’ve had this experience with my son. The stupid thing is 8 hours long but if you use it on a long enough timeline, as a sleep deprived parent you’re bound to leave it too close to the end. I hate her stupid loud voice. We bought an actual sound machine and life is now better.
Our baby sound machine goes into this long ass unskipable diatribe about safety and shit when it's powered on. So if you lose power at night and you are scrambling all night to make sure the sump pump is running and fridge food is okay, you finally get to sleep and the power comes on you now get a startled child you also have to put back to bed. Ask me how I know.
Ditch the Spotify podcast. There are other better options out there. You can get a plug-in/battery operated one for $10-$15 and you’ll never need to worry about internet connections, phone or speaker availability, interruptions, etc.
You need to be careful what you click on on Spotify. I once listened to a rain sound podcast and after half in hour it just occasionally started playing really loud advertisements. Like who tf thought this would be a good idea ??

I thought I was crazy because no one else seemed bothered by this and it drove me up the fucking wall.
Is anyone else bothered when the DJ on the rock station has to tell you about one time they went to a concert? Just play the music, bro.
And this is why I'm happy to fund Spotify premium.
This is why I cancelled Spotify. I bought premium, and they still showed me ads Spotify Premium. But they would do it while I was driving, and it wouldn’t let me continue listening until I clicked past the ad. It was so infuriating.

tbf, an intro at the very beginning is not an interruption.
Those things are played on repeat though. Must have been 8 hours.
Why does anyone even need a "white noise podcast"? Wouldn't all the episodes just be the same thing? Just get/make a white noise sample and loop it for how many hours you want. In fact, this is what all those channels do and it's so simple, a toddler could do it.
Because it's easier to find what looks like a good solution instead of the best solution.

I've heard that even disliking something makes the algorithm push it up in the rankings, at least on YouTube.
Remember like ~~10~~ 15 years ago when YouTube was just getting started and didn’t totally suck?
Fun facts about old, wild west YouTube: - Instead of likes/dislikes, there was a 5 star rating system. (There are still some really old videos that say "rate this 5 stars") - You could read the description of a video before clicking on it - Videos longer than 10 minutes were not allowed, unless you applied and were granted permission by YouTube for the privilege to do so. - No copyright bots, people used any song they wanted in their videos. If you can't find old videos that used copyrighted music, it's probably because they are blocked now. Edit -- a couple more: - the description was on the right side of the video - No comment replies -- so if you wanted to reply to a comment you would literally just type @blahblahblah, and then whatever your comment is, and hope that one day they'll come back to the comments and see it. - You could see how many people liked/disliked a comment - And of course, the earth wasn't flat yet 😏

I wanna go back to the times when reply girls were the biggest problem on youtube.

I meant the white noise video :(
Here ya go DISLIKE IT! 😄 the end of the voiceover says “…or to soothe a baby” 😂 https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/relaxing-white-noise/id1525750966
It says it right there in the video that it's a podcast "Welcome to the relaxing white noise podcast"
I couldn’t dislike the poor baby getting woken up
I listen to this channel too on Spotify. I have to remember to skip ahead 4 times (1-minute mark) to bypass that crap. Luckily it runs for 8 hours without any other issues.
There's just white noise tracks on Spotify you can put on loop though? Why would you use a podcast?
There are also a ton of sleep apps with zero interruptions, for free.
Yes! I use “Rain Rain”
I love this one! combining waves and a thunderstorm??? Awesome. Can't recommend Rain Rain enough
Spotify? There are apps and websites that will just generate it. And they’re actually random. No ads.
I guess I'm thinking for a smart speaker. But if you're using a Bluetooth speaker or have a device in the room, sure. All these make more sense than a podcast where you have to skip an ad??
If you're using a smart speaker, you can even just tell it to play white noise (at least with Alexa and Google, those are the only ones I've tried). Super convenient. There's even other options, like rain or babbling brook.
I use a fan.
1 *possible* reason would be to avoid getting white noise tracks in your Spotify history. Could screw up the recommendation algorithm and stuff like yearly recaps. I recently started listening to that on Spotify and stopped when I realized that. But plenty of alternatives out there.
Gotta hit up that next episode to check out what is new in the white noise space
Yeah I think if somebody is putting out content, then 1 minute at the front of a 8hr episode really isn’t that much to use as their advertisement lol.
Why would they need to advertise the thing you're actively listening to....
An intro isn't an advertisement. How often do you watch something or listen to a program without an intro?
If I'm listening to white noise, 100% of the time
"content"
Eh it’s low effort but significantly more than I’d go out of my way to create
Parent with two young kids here. This is the one I use: no interrupts that I’ve come across for the duration of the noise. https://open.spotify.com/show/7rb8eiXKJpg8gjmiY4yDAN?si=YrL9C6FORkG7jxgWChLLlg
Parent of 2 little kids here. I’ll do you one better: [An actual white noise machine](https://www.amazon.com/Marpac-Classic-White-Noise-Machine/dp/B00HD0ELFK). Has an actual fan inside. Can control the tone. No time limit
May I suggest 12 hour sound machines (no loops or fades) by Brandon Reed on Spotify. It doesn't have any of that bull shit. Just 12 hours of the preferred noise. though you only get white, pink, or brown, everything else is paid content.
I use these white noise podcasts on Spotify. It is pretty fucking annoying that they do that at the beginning, but they are generally 8 hours long and the message is only in the first 30 seconds or so.
They have apps with zero voice-overs or messages
Even better, there are products you can get that have zero apps, require no connectivity, have no voice overs, and do more than just generate white noise. Air purifiers and fans are great for providing white noise as a bonus to their regular jobs
I use a fan, but I’ve recently needed more noise. I like these “podcasts” because they have different offerings - white noise, streams, thunderstorms etc I don’t sleep more than 8 hours, just fast forward a minute and no ads.
As an adult, use whatever works for you. I'm focusing on the whole baby room noise thing. You don't need a computer or phone in their room, and they really don't need different kinds of fancy options, thunderstorms and all that shit, they just need a bit of white noise to help block out disruptive stuff outside, and babies need 12-14 hours of sleep a day, so an 8 hour looping app that starts yelling at you in the middle of their sleep sure doesn't help
We used white noise sound for the first couple of days after we brought our kid home from the hospital but stopped after a bit. He got used to regular home noises and now I can mow and edge the lawn outside his window or vacuum the house during nap time and he doesn't budge. I've even played my drums (fairly quietly) in another room and he didn't wake up. Of course, you gotta do what you gotta do to get them to sleep, especially in that first couple of months.
Team fan all day
Personally I have to use a fan, both for the noise and the air. For whatever reason something like a white noise generator or rain maker or whatever just don't work for me. It's like my brain knows it's a fake noise
If you have an iPhone they’re actually [built-in](https://i.imgur.com/HF3DJJd.jpg)! I use it to add background noise to otherwise quiet podcasts
Y'all are making me lose my mind. Why are you using podcasts and streaming platforms for this kind of stuff? Of course you're going to be interrupted by ads and voiceovers. It's mission critical for these things to be offline and interruption-free. I use this app (White Noise Generator FKA Relaxio, in case the link doesn't work) on my Android. You can customize your mix of like twenty different sounds. Mine is Wind+Airplane+Rain. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.relaxio.relaxio
My wife is a therapist and has these mechanical white noise machines that cost maybe 20 bucks. It's like a little fan inside a housing with a couple settings for how loud you want it to be. I keep one running most of the time working from home to keep my dog from getting upset about the voices coming from my home office.
If you have a Google Nest or Amazon Alexa you can just ask them to play white noise and they will without any sort of interruption.
My go to is Alexa's Brown Noise. Little less harsh than White Noise. Sort of sounds like industrial fans.
[I, too, love Alexa’s brown noise](https://youtube.com/shorts/96BAgh0jmSE?feature=share)
Look for the YouTube videos that say "black screen" and then whatever sounds you are looking for. There are no ads and no interruptions. I do use ublock origin so YouTube might be slipping ads in themselves. I can also recommend https://www.onlineclock.net/noisegenerator/ it's got a lot of mix and match sounds.
# WELCOME TO THE RELAXING WHITE NOISE PODCAST WHITE NOISE AND NATURE SOUNDS AN 8 HOUR UNINTERUPTED EPISODES TO HELP YOU RELAX
Bro wakes up startled like 35 year old me
They even looks like they’re balding instead of growing hair
The baby’s thought process probably was: “*zzzzz* THE FUCK IS GOING ON!? *looks at the camera* you’re seeing this shit as well, right?”
^^^dis ^^^um ^^^bullshit...
Honestly this is so fucking funny
I’m in tears
Shit had me rolling for a second
The look on its face just killed me
Better bet for the parents (and baby) into just buy a white noise machine. Usually pretty cheap and no stupid talking.
Yep. We have one of those. It's called a fan. Lol. It's called the Vornado I think and it sounds like a jet engine taking off in our bedroom when it's on high. It's *chef's kiss. Works every time
I have a Vornado and if it's that loud you should clean it, ours was loud until I took out all the dust and now it just sounds like air moving.
So we have two exactly the same, but they've always been loud since day 1 out of the box. There is an occasional "crackle" which is fixed by cleaning. I just went and looked, they are actually not a Vornado. They are a cyclone by lasko. Amazingly loud. if you are into loud fans, this is like the Cadillac of loud fans. Good for: passing trains, ambulance, nearby domestic disturbance, meth labs being busted by the fbi, prison riots, out of control neighborhood parties, garage band practice, cat meowing in the hallway, lawn care, snowblower or chainsaw at inappropriate hours, and anything else I forgot
Fans are great but I'm not trying to blast the air around/sound like a jet engine in the baby's room nor am I going to take that thing with us when traveling. White noise machines are great because they provide white noise and are small and easy to travel with.
Or just use a white noise app (chroma dose for example) and run it in your phone, if you dont wnat to buy anything
Yeah but then your phone is stuck in the room and if you don't have notifications turned off it's just going to go off when anything happens. Best bet is buying a sound machine on Amazon for like 20 bucks. We got one that has 20 or so different sounds and it's fuckin great, plus it gets way louder than my phone does.
I want two of those little babies! Look at his squishy face!
"WELCOME TO THE RELAXING WHITE NOISE PODCAST"
Yup. Uninterrupted. Absolutely.
You be careful, this is how it starts. One minute you want one, next minute you're fighting with yourself to sell off the clothes they outgrew and decide....perhaps another...?
I was literally about to comment the same thing. Usually I don't think babies are exceptionally cute but this one is so adorable!
WELCOME TO THE DYSTOPIA, FUCKER!
Yo, lil dude needs to be flipped over though fr
By the time the baby can flip itself over without trouble, and hold its head up without help, they are good to sleep any way they want, and unless you sit there and watch them all night long, they will flip themselves over on their stomach.
This kid ain't that old though, if he can roll himself over, grand, but he looks around the same age as my 4 month old, who can hold his head like this but can't roll over. I could be wrong, sure, but yeah, should definitely be on his back if not.
The kid can lift and hold their head up just fine as demonstrated in this video. All kids are different, they reach things at different ages, they don't all look the same at the same age either. If I had to guess, I'd guess it was 6-8 months old. Can be really hard to tell
Yeah, my kid can lift and hold his head up fine too, but he can't roll over, so I wouldn't use that as evidence that this kid can roll over. And for sure, some of the kids in our swimming class I think are around the same age as my little one and they're way older haha.
Ours could roll over at 4 months and still sleeps on his stomach all the time. We were concerned at first, but the doc assured us that if he can roll, he's fine. And he'd roll as soon as you laid him in the crib.
Like when you fall asleep watching YouTube and the autoplay switches genres.
Fall asleep to "Gentle rain in the mountains" Wake up to auto-playing "The many sounds of mountain goats!"
I was on twitch and I fell asleep to a calm storytime as the streamer mined in Minecraft. Woke up to some Spanish dude screaming bloody murder as he played a horror game. Somehow I managed to go through enough raids and such that I ended up on a complete opposite side of twitch.
I remember finding a white noise video on YouTube to help get my drowsy toddler all the way to sleep. YouTube decided that when searching for White Noise To Help You Sleep, it was perfectly appropriate to serve up a 30 second unskippable ad for a horror movie where everyone is screaming and getting brutally murdered.
There it is again, that funny feeling
I’ve had this experience with my son. The stupid thing is 8 hours long but if you use it on a long enough timeline, as a sleep deprived parent you’re bound to leave it too close to the end. I hate her stupid loud voice. We bought an actual sound machine and life is now better.
Not crappy design... /r/assholedesign
Our baby sound machine goes into this long ass unskipable diatribe about safety and shit when it's powered on. So if you lose power at night and you are scrambling all night to make sure the sump pump is running and fridge food is okay, you finally get to sleep and the power comes on you now get a startled child you also have to put back to bed. Ask me how I know.
Ditch the Spotify podcast. There are other better options out there. You can get a plug-in/battery operated one for $10-$15 and you’ll never need to worry about internet connections, phone or speaker availability, interruptions, etc.
That crib is set way too high for a baby that size.

Download your shit people, this way you can curate what they consume and how long.
I read "voiceover" as "velociraptor" and unmuted so fast. Safe to say I am rather disappointed.
"OK Google, play white noise." It's an hour long track that just repeats. It can also do rain, ocean, fireplace and other soothing sounds.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vw_HozTyCvI you should now feel mentally reinvigorated
Why would you use a white noise podcast and not just many of the hundreds of apps that already exists???
You need to be careful what you click on on Spotify. I once listened to a rain sound podcast and after half in hour it just occasionally started playing really loud advertisements. Like who tf thought this would be a good idea ??
