Hatch is a Holy Grail item in our household!
My kids have been using a sound machine since they were born. As soon as the Hatch turns on, they know it's bedtime, helping us all wind down and ensuring a peaceful night. It masks outside noises, providing them with a consistent, uninterrupted sleep. I love the 2nd Gen base for its portability, and we always bring along a spare power cord when we travel—it's a lifesaver! When our 1st Gen device started acting up, customer service was fantastic, which is why I'll continue to recommend Hatch products to all my friends with babies and keep using them myself.
