Hatch Rest Baby Sound Machine, Night Light | 2nd Gen | Registry Essent…

Best white noise machine we’ve ever had & we’re not even using to full potential
HIGHLY RECOMMEND – My son is 6, he has always been a very light sleeper and we’ve been through MANY white noise machines over the years. I was actually very happy with our current one, however, he had an “ok to wake” clock as well as a star projector all on his nightstand and it was just too crowded. I paid about the same for our current white noise machine, so the price wasn’t a big factor for me.PROS:-lights: color and brightness both fully customizable.-volume: many kids white noise machines aren’t loud enough for us (we live on a very busy corner, lots of honking and fire station nearby) Not the case with this one, at max volume, its WAY too loud.-loops: as he’s gotten older, my son has complained of being able to hear loops or patterns in the sounds (usually with varied sounds like rain or babbling brook). Neither the wind or TV sounds have discernable loops-quality: the sound quality and speaker are both great. We’ve had some that had flat/tinny sounds before.-ease of use: easy to download and connect to the app-programmability: this has been by FAR the greatest feature. I’ve set up 4 different auto on/off programs for SLEEP, WAKE, WEEKDAY, WEEKEND. Orange light w/sound =stay in bed and comes on at 7:30 pm Sun-Thurs and 8:00 pm Fri-Sat. Green light (with same sound and volume so as to not accidentally wake him up if he’s slept in) = ok to get out of bed comes on at 7:00 am M-F and 7:30 am Sat-Sun. I have the green light & sounds turn off at 7:30 on school days and 8 am on weekends.CON:-the ONLY hiccup we’ve had was the very first morning after programming. I had to manually turn it on the night before (since I set it at 7:45 pm which was after the weekday “stay in bed” timer should have started) so the next morning it was still in “manual” mode and the green light never turned on. I noticed around 7:10 am when I heard him singing to himself, so I used the app to manually adjust the light color to green and heard him “ooh and ahh” in amazement. Since that first night, we haven’t had any trouble with the timers. I’ve also turned on the toddler lock so he can’t put it back into manual mode.BONUS:-less bedtime struggle: I’m no longer to the one enforcing bedtime – when the Hatch comes on, he knows it is time to go to bed and there’s no arguing for or whining to the Hatch for “just 5 more minutes”.We just got an Echo Dot and I saw there was an Alexa integration. I read up on the features and really wish this had been around when he was an infant. You can log diapers, sleep times, nursing times, pumping times and all kinds of other cool stuff. Even so, as our all in 1 night light, white noise, wake timer – this thing has been amazing!

Finally, my kids are sleeping!
This is my first ever Amazon review, but I loved this product so much that I felt I had to share my experience! I bought this out of sheer desperation simply for the “ok to wake” function. My 18 month old had been waking between 5 and 6am for over 6 months, and literally nothing I did helped him sleep any later. We already had a cheap white noise machine, so when I first heard of this product, I balked at the price, thinking I didn’t need it for the other features. I first purchased a cheaper “ok to wake” product, but found it difficult to operate, and poorly designed and made. I finally purchased the Hatch Rest, thinking if it didn’t work out, at least Amazon would let me return it.Now, I had serious doubts about my 18 month old’s ability to understand and abide by the “ok to wake” concept. But mom needs a little time to herself in the morning, so I was willing to give it a shot despite my reservations. The beauty of this product is the app and Bluetooth capability. I set the clock for 6am the first night and told my son that when the light turned green in the morning, he could get up for the day. For the record, my 18 month old can only say about 10 words… but he seems to comprehend a lot. The next morning, he woke at 5:30. I wasn’t about to let him cry for 30 long minutes, so I opened the app, changed the wake up time to 5:35, and then when the light turned on, went into his room and did a big dramatic wake up. I said, “look, your light is green, that means it’s time to wake up!” I then turned on the lights, threw open the curtains… made a big deal of it. Over the next few days, I gradually set the clock back little by little, and he started sleeping a little later each day. After a week, I was able to set the clock to 7:30 (my ideal wake up time for him). He woke the first few days a little earlier, and I would just tell him through the baby monitor talk function that his light wasn’t green, and I kid you not— he laid down and went back to sleep until the light came on. Now if he wakes a few minutes early, he just plays in his crib and waits for the light. I can’t believe that this worked, but it did. And now I feel like I have to spread the word!I actually loved this so much, that I bought a 2nd one for my 3 year old. He loves it. He plays in his room until his light comes on at 7:30, and also stays in his room to play or look at books during “quiet time” in the afternoon. He loves choosing a nightlight color and sound on the app every night. I truly cannot say enough positive things about this product… try it!

We’ve been using this light for 3 years with zero issues. Easy to program and change colours/sounds. Withstands kids playing roughly with it. A great shower gift, even if it’s not on the registry…it should be!

Always wanted to get one with my first baby. I got to get one with second and absolutely love it. Being able to see the clock is brilliant.Still figuring things out as it arrived today but so far so good. My newborn slept within seconds each nap.Also thanks for quick delivery 🙌🏼
