Whether you are a first-time mother or an experienced mother, sometimes it happens that your baby can't fall asleep or cries a lot. You already checked his diaper, he took his milk, took out gases, but for some reason, he can't calm down. Fortunately, we live in an era in which technology facilitates some parts of motherhood and that is when we must use it in our favor.

Recommendations
It's very important never leave your mobile or tablet inside the crib or very close to the baby. Ideally, place them in a piece of furniture close to where the baby sleeps so that he is at a safe distance and reaches to listen to it, since some come with very low volume.
Applications that include white noise should be used with measure, since it has been proven that excessive use of this type of sound can be harmful to babies' ears.
Although definitely nothing can replace your own mother's voice, sometimes it is good to have these applications on hand to help us make those long sleepless nights lighter.
