I think the setting is called washing machine. Yes, just a white noiseish sound at max volume. When baby is in the womb it’s apparently quite loud so the sound at a good volume is comforting.
Happened all the time, I would fake change. Open the diaper, let the cool air hit him and close it back up....like clockwork he would start pissing again almost right after I closed it up
Then change it out like normal.
Our CRV is barely cutting it with 2 boys now. Very common to be stuffed like this
Owen still has his noise machine and same thing, it’s white noise with a heartbeat.
We used the shusher as well for the first couple months.
Around 60-65 db for the sound machine to promote sleep is the info I was given. My wife uses a little app to measure at our kids ear.
She was up screaming all fucking night long till my wife started crying because she was so frustrated. As soon as the sun come up she out like a light.
Oh how I have forgotten about these days
My son was damn near impossible to get to sleep at night. I would have to drive him around in the car at 300am or sometimes put him on the dryer in his car seat while it was running. The slight motion seemed to calm him and put him to sleep. 
welcome to parenthood man. It gets better I swear. Sleep regressions here and there and suck but are short lived.
I think I’m getting the itch to go back to work. Right now a look forward to going to the store or whatever just to get out of the house. Hey babe, I think we need paper plates or something. I’ll run to the store 
Thank god for Hey Bear.
I ate something this morning that absolutely emptied out the contents of my stomach and intestines for a good 4 hours and couldn’t get off the toilet. Felt like I was in

Kid was absolutely mesmerized while I was dying in the bathroom.

It’s fun when they get a little bigger to take them with. When our older kid was 5 months I started taking him in his car seat to the store. It kind of sucks then because the infant seat takes up most of the cart and you have to stack stuff around them.
Once he was around 10 months I just threw him in the front of the cart.
Thank god for Hey Bear.

I kind of miss Hey Bear. We’re onto Ms. Rachel and Simple Songs now. Happy birthday is probably my favorite with those gangster radishes that come out when the beat drops
. I had at least 5 hey bear songs in my Spotify wrapped. There’s a hey bear playlist we’d put on as a last resort when he’d get pissed in the car.
My daughter is finally getting tired of Ms Rachel but that was a great one. I guess the wife found Little Bear which is some old ass show, probably from the 90s, that she now likes to watch more.I kind of miss Hey Bear. We’re onto Ms. Rachel and Simple Songs now.

Anyone have a recommendation for something educational that’s a step above the Ms Rachel - Songs for Littles stuff?
We just donated a couple crates of toys, so I’m fully expecting for the next few weeks to hear, “hey, dad where’s [weird toy she only played with once]”
