Womb sound for babies

About this sound

Before birth a baby is surrounded by constant sound: the mother's blood flow, her heartbeat, her digestion and her voice, all filtered through fluid and tissue. What reaches the baby is mostly low-pitched and never fully quiet. The womb sound in the app recreates that feeling with a low, rolling whoosh and a gentle pulse underneath.

Why parents use it

The first weeks outside can feel strangely quiet and sharp to a newborn. A steady low sound fills that gap and covers sudden household noises such as a door closing or a dog barking. Many parents notice that a fussy newborn settles faster when the sound starts before they are put down. There is no proof that one sound is best for every baby, so watch your own child and keep what works.

• Settling a baby who startles at small noises
• Short naps and the first part of the night
• Soothing a baby in a busy household

Using it safely

• Studies have measured quite loud sound inside the womb, but that is not a target. Keep the volume low, around the level of a quiet conversation or softer.
• Place the phone or speaker across the room, never in the crib and never within your baby's reach.
• Use the sleep timer if you do not want it to run all night. See can white noise play all night.
