Frequently Asked Questions

What is colic?

All babies fuss and cry. Colic technically occurs when an infant cries at least three hours a day, three days a week, for at least three weeks in a row. Unexplained fussiness, irritability and crying are telltale signs. Colic occurs in 20 to 25 percent of all newborns, usually beginning by week three. Although colic typically peaks in severity at six weeks, it does not usually end until the third month. In some instances, it may last longer. Colic does not harm your baby. It does, however, cause household stress! Know that your baby's colic will come to an end. In the meantime, manage your baby's crying. The Hush Baby CD is a perfect tool to accomplish this. It quiets crying and lulls your baby into a relaxed, more composed state. Think of it as a crying management system.

A necessary first step:

Since chronic crying may be a symptom of a serious medical condition, the first step always should be to have your infant evaluated by a pediatrician.

What if my baby has colic?

If your baby has colic, you probably feel like crying yourself. Spending countless nights walking the floors worrying about your child's comfort, what your neighbors can hear and how you look to family and friends is nerve-wracking. The good news is that the Hush Baby CD's specifically designed sound combats infant crying and offers real colic relief. In a matter of days, you could literally improve your baby's comfort as well as improve the quality of life in your home!

How does the Hush Baby CD work?

This CD was specifically designed to calm infants. It simultaneously plays three tracts of white noise blended with a digital wave pattern. White noise is a very powerful soothing element. It mimics the sounds of the womb (blood flowing through mom's body). Since a young baby's developing neurological system is not able to tune out surrounding stimuli, the baby often becomes overwhelmed by it. White noise helps shut out these agitating triggers. The Hush Baby CD lessens the stimuli of a baby's big new world. Our digital wave pattern provides a gentle, but rhythmic "melody" that lulls your baby into a composed state. That is what makes the Hush Baby CD so effective. It combines stimuli blockage, comforting sounds and a rhythmic device. In effect, it captures your baby's attention, calms him and lulls him into a peaceful state.

This CD also serves as an excellent tool for sleep training.

Does my baby have to suffer from colic to benefit from the Hush Baby CD?

Absolutely not! It is a universal fact that all babies cry and fuss. The Hush Baby CD will soothe the occasional crier as well as the "professional."
