Baby Shusher Sleep Miracle App

Yet another disappointing baby white noise app. It’s nice that it will continue to play in the background when you close the screen unlike the last stupid app I purchased. What makes this app a disappointment is that it will only play through the speakers on your phone, so forget about using it with a Bluetooth speaker in your child’s room like an intelligent person would. What I viewed as common sense, clearly isn’t an option for this app.

I read Dr. Karp’s book 9 years ago and used his methods with my second child who REFUSED to sleep, and it was the only thing that eventually calmed her to sleep. Nine years ago this app or the Shusher didn’t exist so my husband and I had to use our own breath to constantly shush her (she still gets sleepy when we shush in her ear). Fast forward to now. I have a 7 week old and I looked into getting the Shusher machine because I knew the 4s worked. However, before I spent the $$ on the actual machine I decided to see if there was an app and lo and behold I found this little miracle. For $5 I have turned an iPod I had lying around into my own Shusher machine. Even better, this one will pause and listen to the baby every 3 min to adjust the volume! It also has a longer timer, and since the baby is in our room it acts as a sound machine for my husband and me as well. We are getting the best nights sleep we have ever gotten with a 7 week old! As an added bonus I can connect my phone to my car’s auxiliary port when he’s fussy in his car seat and play the sound over the speakers! Spend the $5. You won’t regret it.

I have the handheld shusher and use it in the car and away from home. I have paid for the app twice now (once on my old phone and again on my new phone) and very grateful for it. My 7 month old has used it from the day we came home from the hospital. It calms here and often soothes her right to sleep. I can’t say enough about how well it works BUT when I get a call or anything else on my phone makes a noise, the shusher stops making the noise and does not continue after the other noise (phone call, text message noise, other app...). I have to close the app completely every time, restart the app and then turn it back on. Imagine the frustration when this happens in the middle of her nap or while I’m trying to get her to sleep! I understand that the sound will stop while the other noise occurs, but once it’s over, I should be able to press start again and hear the shusher. Nope! Have to restart app every time. Please fix this problem. I am an iPhoneX user and also used the app on my LGV20 and had the same problem. Thanks so much!
