Noise is your enemy

My first son has a problem with nose bleeds.  So we run a cool mist humidifier in his room at night and that helps him.  The best part about the humidifier is also the white noise.  Since his room is on the front of the house, he picks up a lot of street noise.  The hum of the humidifier helps cut some of that noise out.   There' nothing worse then getting your child down for the night and the neighbor with the motorcycle or loud car wakes him up.  When he was younger we played classical music which also does the same thing. Think about this especially if you live in a high traffic area or if you live in an open plan where the adults want to watch TV and you need something to "Drown" it out.
