Support natural melatonin production and make your sleep training journey easier with the Sunset Baby Soother Sound Machine and Night Light from The First Years. Just think Red Before Bed™ and you’ll be on your way! The Sunset Baby Soother from The First Years uses DreamRed™ technology to gently guide your baby to sleep the way Mother Nature intended with a soft red light. Most nursery night lights and lamps increase alertness but our red light has been tested and proven to only emit wavelengths with no disruptive blue light. Whether you’re creating the perfect nursery for your newborn or looking to start sleep training the Sunset Soother offers several options that allow you to customize it for your family from newborn to toddler. The soother includes a sound machine that can be used either with or without the nightlight for calming white noise that creates a womb-like environment and masks other sounds to help your newborn fall asleep and stay asleep. The nightlight can be set to stay on all night which is a great way to avoid the bright lights that will stimulate both you and your baby during those middle-of-night changes and feedings. Choosing sunset mode provides a slowly fading light that leaves the room dark after thirty minutes. It’s a great way to help your growing baby settle and essential for your sleep training routine. As toddlers start to ask for a nightlight overnight mode gives them the light they want without blocking the production of melatonin. Through each stage Red Before Bed and the Sunset Soother are here to help. And it’s all based in sleep science. Sleep scientist Dr. Sofia Axelrod co-developer of the soother was inspired by Nobel Prize-winning research on the circadian clock and how light affects our ability to fall asleep. A quick science lesson: Blue light is nature’s way of waking us up. It’s emitted by most nursery nightlights and home lighting even if the light’s color may not look blue. This type of light resets our body clock and increases alertness by elevating cortisol serotonin and adrenaline levels in our bodies while also suppressing the sleep hormone melatonin. Our DreamRed™ light on the other hand supports the natural production of melatonin. That’s how the red light of the Sunset Baby Soother makes it easier for us all to fall asleep and why it’s the right color choice for your baby. And when baby sleeps you sleep too!
