I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom It Forward Blogger Network for Marpac. I received a promotional item as a thank you for participating.
When Mister and Sister were babies, I learned that white noise is a secret weapon for serious sleep! Little Miss is no different, white noise really helps her sleep. We were using the white noise CD that Hubs had burned (years ago), but the breaks in the noise was enough to wake ME up, because I could hear it through the baby monitor. When I received the opportunity to review the Marpac Dohmie Serious Sleep Baby Bundle, which includes a white noise machine that creates a seamless and continuous sound of rushing air, using electromechanical technology, I had to say yes!
It couldn’t have come at a better time. November and December are busy for us. We travel for Thanksgiving, have two birthdays (Mister’s and Hubs) plus Christmas. Traveling alone is enough to interrupt the baby’s sleep cycle. Add the seasonal stress to the mix, and oh my!
This year, we took the Dohm WITH us when we traveled for Thanksgiving. It is lightweight, easy-to-use, and can travel with you where you go. All you need is a functioning outlet to use it. Because the kids room in with us when traveling, we had it in our room. I loved that it has adjustable tone and volume controls, because I was able to change the settings it to make us all comfortable when rooming together. We all slept well, which is remarkable because we all generally have trouble sleeping anywhere but home.
While at home, we keep the Dohm under the corner of Little Miss’ crib. This is the effect is has on her…
Now that’s serious sleep! Isn’t she beautiful?
If Little Miss every outgrows her need for the Dohm, it will take up residence in our bedroom. In the meantime, I keep the baby monitor set so that I can hear it, too.
The Marpac Dohmie Serious Sleep Baby Bundle retails for $59.99 at Toys ‘R Us and includes the Dohm sound conditioner, a “Buddy the Bee Finds His Z’s” storybook, and a Sleep 101 publication from the NSF.

Robin (Masshole Mommy) says
I sleep with a fan 365 days a year. My husband hates it, but I always tell him that he’ll go before the fan ever does.
Kita says
Awwww she is sleeping so peacefully why wasn’t this around when I had my babies *cries* lol they coming out with the good stuff now.
Tracey says
I have heard such good things about products like these. Thanks for sharing!
Debbie L. says
I sure wish they had these products with my children were babies. I used to keep a radio in their room and play soft music while they slept. Sharing with my friend that has a new baby.
brett says
Oh, how I love white noise. My kids still have one in their bedrooms running.
Chrishelle says
I t definitely look like she is out. I like to sleep with white noise too. I think Marpac Dohmie could be useful for adults and children. Would love to have one to travel with.
Veronica Spriggs says
white noise is great for sleeping or even just relaxing. i downloaded an app but often forget to use it. i wish i had one of those
Cassie says
I bet my mother-in-law wishes that something like this was around when my husband was a baby because he NEVER slept. I’m going to have to add this to my list of items to get my friends who are about to have a baby.
Susan says
I’m getting sleeping just thinking about white noise. It’s funny how it works like magic.
robyn says
I love sleeping with white noise. I stopped when the boys came along as I sleep deeper with it and wanted to be sure I woke for them. When they are a little older I will start again!
Sherryl says
I have a fan running all the time.. guess it is the same for me. I am all for anything that helps little ones sleep!!
Jennifer B says
We are all white noise lovers in my house and use fans at night! This looks like a great product!
Jessica Harlow says
Aw, she is beautiful! And, I hear you…I’d be hard pressed to let the kids have this just in their rooms. lol My husband and I like to have the background noise of a fan at night to help us sleep!
Danielle says
This is a great idea. We sure could have used this sort of baby sleep aid a couple of years ago 😉
erica says
Hmmm I’m wondering if my three year old would like this? since our move he has had trouble sleeping.

Dee says
We need this!!! We keep a loud air purifier in the girls’ room,but this would be so much better!
Kenda Smith says
Our youngest sleeps with a sound machine every night. When the power goes out we make sure to have extra batteries for it – it works so well. I only wish we’d had one of these when my oldest was a baby!
Amy Desrosiers says
I find my kids sleep so much better when they have white noise. This looks like a neat device for just that!
Chrysa says
That is really cool. I think I actually need one of those for my husband! He is not a good sleeper.
Elizabeth Towns says
What an excellent invention! I need to gift this to my niece, who is going to have another baby and has a toddler at home. It would help so much in keeping the babies on sleep cycles.
Jaime says
I have a sound machine/humidifier combo and it isn’t the greatest – especially for traveling. This looks fantastic, and I may need to get one since my son will be sleeping with a white noise machine until he’s married. (I’m convinced of this.)
Cynthia L says
Love white noise! My partner used to work shifts and the white noise helped achieve a great nights sleep!
Melissa says
I love the Dohmie! We have been using it for a few years.
Debbie Denny says
This is interesting. Really like the idea and the fact it can travel so easily
Claudia Krusch says
I wish I had something like that when my son was little!
Lisa says
I need one of those . . for me!
Liz says
That’s great that she slept so soundly even when away from home. You know it works when they sleep through a messed up schedule!
Cara says
This looks like a great product! I use white noise sometimes when I sleep so this is great!
Jennifer says
What a cool little sleep machine! I wonder if this would actually work on adults? I always have trouble sleeping!
Rosey says
Aww, I’m glad it worked, and yep she’s a little beauty. 🙂
trisha says
We have that exact one (got it on amazon) and P uses it since he was born. We travel w/ it too!
Christy says
I heard this was a g rest product! Thank you for sharing your thoughts!
Amanda Love says
This sounds like something every parent should have for their little one. I’ve never heard of it before now but I do have pregnant friends who would certainly be interested in this.
Mama to 5 BLessings says
This is great, I so need one of these for my 3 year old!
katherine says
Too awesome! I just got one in the mail today!
Jennifer Bullock {MommyBKnowsBest} says
We have a sound machine in our youngest’s room and love it! We travel with ours too but it’s a little larger, would love to check out the size of the Dohm.
Brandy says
I want one of these for my sons or niece, can’t decide which yet. It looks like such a great helper for sleep!
Pauline Cabrera says
I like it that you can take it with you when you travel because it’s lightweight and easy to use. And it looks like she’s really having a good sleep.
Kecia says
White noise helps both of our boys sleep! Our older son has actually moved up to listening to actual music at bedtime, but our 7 week old listens to the sounds of his Sleep Sheep. He still sleeps in our room, so we get the benefits of it too.
Alissa says
This sounds like something we should try. I think I’d get a better night’s sleep with some ambient noise. I love that it has volume controls, too.
Jamie says
I would not have serviced with out our sound machine, my daughter still uses hers and she’s three!
Lexie Lane says
Don’t you want to wake them up and just love them more when they’re asleep? She is darling! I wish I’d known about this product when my son was a baby. He did get a little difficult and we had a sound system that went off every 15 minutes. This would have been quite helpful.
Janel says
My 3 year old just talks and talks and talks at night. I need something like this to settle him down!
Paige says
That’s so cool! I’ve actually been thinking about getting a white noise machine since I work nights. Some days, I really need some white noise to fall asleep
Robbyn says
What a great thing. I will suggest this to my friend who is pregnant.
Prototype Mama says
This is something that I need for my little M— right now I use the Yoga station on Pandora 😉
Danielle says
Oh I need one of these really bad! My old one pooped out on me.
Lindsey says
We’re white noise users, too. Red has a sound machine with white noise, and our bedroom religiously runs a box fan! I’ve actually seen these exact machines at the Ritz Carlton in downtown Atlanta.
