FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What if we don’t have a stereo in the baby’s room?
for crying out loud! is not just for sleep. It can be used throughout the day and throughout the house to help a baby settle down. Typically, parents wander around the house and often a tape or CD player is available in the main part of the house where the baby and family spend most of their time.

Can these sounds hurt my baby’s ears?
for crying out loud! was engineered to suit a broad range of needs. Therefore, the volume can be adjusted to accommodate virtually any child’s needs. Parents are responsible for setting the volume at a level that is appropriate for their infant’s needs.

What about those high tech sound machines?
Sound machines are expensive and are not created with the fussy baby in mind. The sounds on for crying out loud!, especially the rhythmic tracks (e.g chamber music and surf and sandman) have been edited and mixed at about 68-72 beats per minute, the cadence thought to be the most soothing.

What about cuddly toys with womb sounds?
Plush toys are often expensive, cumbersome to pack and are limited to one sound and volume. Not all babies respond to the same sound all the time. The variety on for crying out loud! makes it a versatile solution. Its low price makes it easy to try and its small size makes it easy to pack.

Is there any scientific data about why white noise works?
Most evidence that pediatricians cite is anecdotal. But one school of thought is that babies develop the ability to hear before birth and they are calmed by sounds that recall the safety and comfort of the womb. White noise and rhythmic sounds like those on for crying out loud! mimic the powerful sounds the infant hears in utero.
