Will the Hush Sleep Aid work for my Child?
Thank you for understanding that the Hush Sleep Aid is not a magic overnight fix for sleep issues. But when combined with a calm, consistent routine, and age-appropriate sleep schedule, and a screen-free hour before bed time, it can produce great results. Please check out the testimonials at the bottom of this page.
We understand all children need love, connection and nurturing. All children have unique personalities and temperaments. Families have different parenting styles and sleep preferences.
But ultimately, little ones who have age-appropriate, consistent sleep cycles are happier, healthier and smarter.
Good sleep also gives parents the energy and fortitude they need to embrace the joys and challenges of the parenting journey.
If your current sleep (or lack of sleep) situation is causing stress, and you are ready to make consistent calm changes to implement age-appropriate sleep guidelines, then using Hush Sleep Vaporiser can be an excellent addition to your plan. You may start to see changes within days.
It’s totally normal for there to be a slightly disrupted sleep, or sleep regression on the 1st or 2nd night. Hush is a completely new gadget for your child, and they will be excited and curious.
Don’t lose heart if this happens. Please use Hush for the duration of every day nap and night sleep for at least a week.
Can I use Hush from Birth?
Yes, all the features of the machine are recommended from birth EXCEPT the essential oil. Please diffuse only plain tap water until around 3 months. This is not meant to alarm parents, as the essential oil is 100% pure and organic and safe, however a newborn’s skin and respiratory system is so new, we may not be aware of any sensitivities or allergic reactions.
From 3 months, please add 1-3 drops/100ml water of Certified Organic Essential Oil.
Newborns have a shorter sleep/wake cycle than older babies, so the Hush will not get your newborn “sleeping through”, as newborns are not physiologically capable of long blocks of 10+ hours sleep. However, using Hush from birth will establish a calming, purified sleep environment with familiar lights and sounds, so it is recommended to start early.
When sleep regressions or teething stresses occur at 2, 4, 6 and 12 month stages, you will have already established settling techniques using the mist, light and sound, which will help your growing baby transition through growth patterns and sleep disruptions.
Is it safe to leave Hush unattended?
Yes, Hush is an intelligent, energy-efficient ultrasonic vaporiser. It does not use any form of heat, candle or naked flame, so it is safe around children, the elderly and some pets. The oil diffuser will automatically switch off once the water level reaches a low level (up to 30 hours).
We encourage your child to sleep with the diffuser on for better sleep and relief from cold and flu symptoms, dry skin, eczema and more.
