#2 is on the way and I have been told many time that a noise machine (for both) is a must. I see the expensive ones on baby sites, but does anyone have one they recommend? Gets the job done but not too unsightly?
Thanks!

We've had this one for many years and love it:

I got mine at Bed Bath and Beyond with a coupon.
Beth, mom to older DD (8/01) and younger DD (10/06) and always missing Leah (4/22 - 5/1/05)
We got this one as a gift and really like it:

I just got this one http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001O04KA6 and LOVE it. My 5 year old has never slept well. She wakes up in the middle of the night for no reason, would wake me up, etc. Since I have gotten this - she has been sleeping through the night.
I got this one (it was more expensive than I wanted to spend) solely because of the spa sounds. I prefer that to *nature* sounds. And so does she. We keep it on all the time (which isn't an option on all of them). My DH reads to her at night, and he has mentioned getting one for us in our room! And he's not one to use a sound machine. It's programmed to lull you to sleep and work with your sleep patterns. You can set it on a timer or leave it on continuously. There is an on/off switch if you want to leave it on all night and turn it off during the day. I put batteries in ours. So if the power goes off - it will stay on. We have other clocks in her room, so I am not worried about this being her only clock/alarm.
It also worked on my 16 month old this past weekend. We visited the ILs and the girls slept in the same room - one in a toddler bed, and one in a pack n play. Last time we were there for the weekend, no one got any sleep because the girls woke up all the time every night. Not this past weekend!! They both slept AWESOME the entire trip!!
There are 2 models of this brand of sound machine (550 and 650). I had to go with the more expensive one (650) because I specifically wanted the Spa Sounds sound card. If you are just looking for white noise/nature sounds - there are several on the market that are good. I would recommend the HoMedics one .

Have you considered using an inexpensive small fan? We have table fans in each of our rooms, and run them nightly. Does the trick for us

I like actual motors rather than the recorded sound of a motor, too.
I use two .99 nature mp3s on an old laptop
