We use the Hatch Rest.
It has a multicolored light that allows you to pick the color or brightness. And there’s several noise options built in including nature noises, static, and lullabies.
You control it with your phone and can set up schedules for bed time, nap time, morning wake up. Or you can just adjust it as needed.
It’s $60, which seems steep, but for all of the options and how long we plan to use it, I think it’s worth the investment.
Agree with this. We used to be in a similar situation. We use white noise machine and although it's better, also tend to not flush.
I know it's far from easy but try to push back on curious George - we have been down that path too and it is a dark and sleepless one.
Edit: also, I never thought this would work but as usual my wife proved me wrong and got our 2 year old on it: Hatch Baby Rest Night Light, Sound Machine and Time-to-Rise https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XMRCC94/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_DAWlCb85K65VS
Our son really does wait for the light to turn green (6am) before running to our room!
My boyfriend and I use the Hatch Sound Machine for the baby. It has a few light colors and sound options. The app can set the time changes too, so a natural wake-up light can start when you set it. I am also excited because it will help when she is a toddler and when the light is red, you stay in your room and play if you wake up, and once it turns to white, you can come out. A little pricey, but it does grow well with your kid. I have had zero complaints in the past 8 months we have had it
Da, ovaj.
Iman jako lagan san i prije bi se budila po 5-6 puta svaku noć. Teta mi je kupila ovaj Hatch aparat i prezadovoljna san, ja doduše ne koristim ova svjetla na njemu jer mi triba mrkli mrak za spavanje. Ovaj je kao za bebe, ali meni savršeno funkcionira za spavanje, nisam ga još isprobala tijekom dana da vidim smanjuje li mi osjetljivost na buku
The app is called relax melodies (paid but not a subscription) and you don’t need to wear earbuds. It’ll play as loud or as low as you want it to, from your phone. For my kids I got the Hatch Baby Rest that doubles as a night light. They have one aimed for adults now but I’m fine with my phone
I have this Hatch Sound Machine. My Mum gave it to me after she saw that I get waken up in the morning due to lots of sound. I have to study at night time due to my online courses which is why I wake up late. My room shares a bathroom with another bedroom and I can hear stuff like the shower and stuff. Also, my room is on top of the garage so when people leave for work in the morning, it wakes me up.
This machine is fantastic. It was $50 the last time I checked but still really worth it.
this used to happen to me until I finally had enough and bought the Hatch Rest baby sound machine/nightlight. My 4 year old still loves it and I can program it around my baby's nap times.

This is a smart safe way to do it. Id also suggest a color changing clock of some kind (I love the hatch) to help them understand when they are allowed to get up.
Lol I feel bad because in my case I'm the upstairs neighbor with a newborn screaming his head off all hours of the night! Have you tried white noise for your baby? We have a Hatch white noise machine and he sleeps a lot better and doesn't get easily startled anymore when we aren't using it.

This is what we have, you can adjust the sound and brightness from your phone. Its wonderful. And as they get older it basically becomes a alarm clock changing sounds and light when its time to get up.
Not sure if it will help but we bought our 3 year old daughter an “ok to wake” clock when she kept pushing morning wake ups to cuddle in bed with us. That seems to be helping a lot so far! She waits until the light is green before she gets out of bed and is excited to show me that the light was green!
This is what we went with… Rest Sound Machine, Night Light and Time-to-Rise https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XMRCC94/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_Z0TY39H3FPQ71E1Q92A7?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
The thing we liked about this one was the ability to control via phone! If we need her to stay in bed later we can adjust the time without having to actually go into her room.
We just had this problem with my 3.5yo son when he just decided to start waking up every day super early, getting dressed and coming out of his room. We ended up buying this alarm clock, night light, sounds machine thingie.
We set it up so it is red when he's not allowed to get up and leave his room (technically sleep time but we long as he plays quietly in his room and doesn't wake people up, we're fine with that. It turns green at 7:30am when he can wake anyone up if we're not already up.
You can use it to visually indicate your child's entire schedule too. It's super simple to set up from your phone and we have everything on timers. We have it set so the light turns on blue at 7pm and sound machine goes on to indicate it's time for his bath and getting ready for bed. It turns red at 8:30pm when he should be asleep but we're probably finishing a book with him. Then it stays dim red with a sound machine until 7:30am as I mentioned above. We also have it do similar for his nap but you get the idea.
My 2-year old daughter was this way till we bought this https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XMRCC94/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_fabc_G8SP669TNQFQ4HZGQQTK?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 Complete game changer!! We have it set to whatever color she wants at bed, it switches to red around 10PM, after she's asleep, then turns green when it's OK to be up. We taught her "red stay in bed, green go upstairs." We've been able to push it later & later over time & now that she's 3.5 she sleeps till 6:30 or later. It was a game changer for us. I love being able to control it on my phone too. Just my 2 cents!
I don't know how old your kid is. But we got the Hatch light for our 3 year old. It's amazing. He went from waking up from 5:30-6:30 to now doesn't come out until his light changes at 6:45.
HATCH BABY!
https://www.amazon.com/Hatch-Baby-Night-Light-Machine/dp/B06XMRCC94
Our kids love them. We had to use white noise for our son, who is now 2 years old. He was an extremely light sleeper and would wake up mad as an infant over the slightest sounds in the house. Having white noise was the golden ticket for us and for him getting a decent night's sleep.
Our 6 year old has always had twinkle twinkle play on hers (we got hers in 2017 I think). She has to have pink but enjoys the fact that she can pick a different color on our phones.
This has become our go-to baby gift for all new parents. We have a couple wrapped for Christmas.
We have the hatch baby light, which seems very similar and it works great. I also get that feeling in frustration though, because when he goes to sleep is truly the only time when my wife and I get time to talk and relax together during the day.
Thanks!
My sister in law started used something like this when my niece started to wake too early, she would tell her “If you wake up early look at the glowing light, if it’s not glowing, it’s not time to wake” in the reviews it seems like it works for other people too!
I can’t give you a personal opinion cause my little one is 10 weeks and I’m lucky to get 5 consecutive hours!
Good luck though!

I have one of those and it works great. Bluetooth so you can control with your phone and it has schedules. You can also use it when they get older to signal when they can get out of bed. It has color changing capability.
Here are a couple more pictures.
Top Five that money can buy:
1) Babyletto Hudson 3-in-1 crib. I’ve seen this crib in lots of nursery pics. It is easy to put together and sturdy. We picked ours up off Facebook Marketplace for $125, including the conversion kit.
2) Hatch Rest sound machine and night light. we got a chance to trial run this little gadget a couple days ago when a friend’s toddler napped at our house. It was nice being able to change the sounds and light colors and turn up the sound using an app on my phone. Toddler was fussing and we turned up the sound a little and he went to sleep! Magic!
3) Jellycat stuffed animals. They are just so cute. I give one to all the new babies in my life. My brother and SIL gifted this baby with one.
4) Ubbi diaper pail. I don’t have experience using it, but it calms my nerves about poop. ��♀️
5) Nambe photo frame. This was a gift. It is the sweetest little frame ever and not something I think I would have splurged on for myself, but seeing it in person, I think it would be an amazing gift for new parents and even worth buying for yourself. It’s so precious.
Top Five that money can’t buy:
1) The quilt hanging in the wall was made by my great grandmother and was my baby quilt! My mom surprised me with it at my shower.
2) The framed art and picture. The top is a painting of baby garibaldis (sooooo cute!), which is the state fish of California. The bottom is a photo of my husband riding on his dad’s shoulders as a toddler.
3) This book collection. We asked people to just gift baby with a book (they gave us soooo much more in addition), and we ended up with the most wonderful collection of funny and sweet books that will continue to remind us that we have an amazing family and network of friends.
4) Box full of Beany Babies. Sentimental gift to baby from my mom.
5) The yellow giraffe basket. My best friend gave us this and told me that she had bought when I was pregnant the first time (with a baby I lost to miscarriage). For some reason it just makes me so happy that there’s something meant for that baby in this room. ❤️��
Hatch Baby Rest is the one we have.
Hatch. Can be controlled by app and has multiple customizable pre-set options.

Honestly, I’m sure you’ve researched and tried a million different things already, and your baby is just being a normal baby. But I’ll share what worked for us when my son was a newborn anyway.
Pitch dark room. 2 layers of these blackout shades over the windows, sealed around the edges with black duct tape and then covered with blackout curtains. Couldn’t even see my hand in front of my face.
White noise. We liked the Hatch sound machine. We put it on the TV static setting. Make sure it’s set loud enough. You don’t want it too quiet.
Halo sleep sack swaddles. Specifically the 100% cotton kind. He never liked any other type of swaddle. When it was time to transition out of the swaddle, we moved to Kyte sleep sacks. They’re awesome.
Temperature control. Invest in an accurate thermometer for whatever room your baby is sleeping in. Baby monitor temperature gauges are notoriously inaccurate. The room should be 68-72 degrees. We always keep the fan on the lowest setting for airflow (reduction in SIDS risk), but to make it not too cold.
Dress baby for comfort. If the room is 68-72 degrees, a cotton footed sleeper with the sleep sack or swaddle over it should be good. Feel the back of baby’s neck. It should feel warm. If it’s sweaty or hot, baby is too hot. If it’s cold, baby is too cold.
Feeding to sleep. I know they say don’t do it. But I breastfed him to sleep every night and then transferred him to the crib after he’d fall asleep on me. You have to wait like 20 minutes so that they’re in a deep sleep before you transfer them. I fed him to sleep until that stopped working for us at around 4-5 months.
Heating pad in the bassinet. Put it in while feeding baby. Take it out right before transferring baby into the bassinet. It will make the mattress nice and warm so it’s not such a shock when you transfer them from your warm body to the cold mattress.
A consistent bedtime routine. Our was: bath, lotion/massage, clean diaper and PJs, book, swaddle, sound machine on, lights off (I kept the red light from the Hatch on low while nursing so I could see what I was doing and then turned it off when I put him down), nurse, transfer to bassinet.
Pacifier. If he woke up shortly after putting him down, sometimes I could get him to go back to sleep if I stuck the pacifier in his mouth. It was maybe a 50/50 chance. Worth a shot 🤷🏻♀️
I also did all of this stuff for each night waking. Hope maybe some of this helps! I know you’ve heard it before, but it won’t always be like this. Do whatever you have to do to make it work in the meantime.
Here's what I'd do:
- Get parents permission to split NK's up during nap time. Tell them that boy NK is very much still napping, but girl NK is looking like she's transitioning out of her nap. That you very much want to protect boy NK's sleep needs while also working with girl NK on implementing quiet time.
- Request that the parents get some type of "ok to wake" clock. The Hatch is a good one (https://www.amazon.com/Hatch-Baby-Night-Light-Machine/dp/B06XMRCC94/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?crid=2JVWDD6D6B3R2&keywords=hatch&qid=1659736125&sprefix=ha%2Caps%2C317&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEzUjVaWThGVzJHMDRBJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwMjQ0MzA0MlBUSkQxQktVRlNXMiZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwNDIwMTE0MVlSQUJaSjNTQU5YUyZ3aWRnZXROYW1lPXNwX2F0ZiZhY3Rpb249Y2xpY2tSZWRpcmVjdCZkb05vdExvZ0NsaWNrPXRydWU=), but I'm sure this knockoff would also be entirely sufficient (https://www.amazon.com/Machine-Momcozy-Sleeping-Soothing-Personal/dp/B099RSXLGH/ref=sr_1_3_sspa?crid=2JVWDD6D6B3R2&keywords=hatch&qid=1659736125&sprefix=ha%2Caps%2C317&sr=8-3-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEzUjVaWThGVzJHMDRBJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwMjQ0MzA0MlBUSkQxQktVRlNXMiZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwNTM1MzgzSU1KUjlSWjVYM003JndpZGdldE5hbWU9c3BfYXRmJmFjdGlvbj1jbGlja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ==).
- Once you have them separated, put boy NK down for a nap in one room, and girl NK down in another room. Tell her she doesn't have to sleep, but she does need to play quietly in that room until the light turns [insert whatever color means "ok to get up"]. Yes, she's going to have a meltdown. Its fine. Start slow. First day turn the light green (or whatever color) after 15 minutes (these clocks are typically blutooth or wifi enabled, so you can change the color from your phone). Even if she freaked out for the entire 15 minutes, celebrate her "success" and then move on. Each day extend the time for 5 minutes. 60 minutes might be the longest you get for quiet time.
Just because they wake up doesn't mean they should be able to leave the room; our kids aren't allowed to leave the room until their light goes green: https://www.amazon.com/Hatch-Baby-Night-Light-Machine/dp/B06XMRCC94/
Really helps manage them when the kids are too young to know what time it is.
They can get up before they're allowed to leave the room, but they aren't leaving until the green light comes on: https://www.amazon.com/Hatch-Baby-Night-Light-Machine/dp/B06XMRCC94/
Works great for quiet/nap time too

1) Play Mat
Get a nice, large, waterproof mat with a design that you wont' get sick of within a month. You can change you baby's diapers on it, set him/her down when you need to step away, lie down on it with him/her even. I use a portable changing pad for poopy diapers.

5) Bassinet/crib/floor mattress
I babyproofed baby's room early and got a 6' twin sized mattress and put on ground so baby won't have to transition from bassinet to crib and then to mattress. Baby will fall off sometimes but she falls asleep afterwards anyway. Area around mattress have blankets or play mat on top of carpet.
6) Baby Monitor/Security Camera

This sound machine is what my NK have. It's loud enough to drown out other noise but there's an app to control it also.
Yeah, that's the one.
