Sleep has Finally Arrived

What is it that almost every new parent complains about? SLEEP! What is worse than you not getting any sleep? Your kids not getting any sleep!

My poor little Grayson has been suffering from night terrors for over a year now. They are terrifying to watch and unfortunately, according to his pediatrician, seem to be a phase that he will simply outgrow. He seems to experience them more often when he is over tired. Maybe he decided to protest his nap a few days in a row, or had a few late to bed nights. Either way, they are NO fun! Imagine your child screaming, thrashing, pointing, talking, calling out for you and you are right there, but it is as though you are a complete stranger. We have experienced nights where Grayson would have muscle spasm like movements, scream and cry for me. When I would go to soothe and comfort him, his episode would become drastically worse.

Now on to my littlest one. She has been waking 3-4 times a night for the last 3 months to comfort nurse due to her aching gums from teething. Thanks to my recent discovery of Camilia teething medicine, I have been able to help soothe her pain a bit, but sleepless nights still are too frequent for our growing girl.

I recently was informed of this Sleep Conditioner Machine, the Dohm, made by a company called Marpac. They are a company in the USA who have been around since 1962! That is 52 years of experience helping people sleep better. How did this amazing product come about? (You will love this) From a dog dish. Yes. A gentleman by the name of Jim Buckwalter created the first sleep conditioner back in 1962 from a metal dog dish. Crazy, right? Over the span of 52 years his company has kept its integrity of making handmade products in the USA. They currently have 6 Machines ranging from $70-$130. I was fortunate enough to be able to try their Dohmie Baby Bundle with the Dohm-NSF Sound Conditioner. What were results?..............................................................................

My husband, myself, the baby, and our twoddler all are in the same room. So, when one is up because of teething pain or night terrors, well, we all are up. I began my trial of the Dohm-NSF Sleep Conditioner last Wednesday evening, the 5th, and have been using it every night since. Honestly, this machine is my Magic Machine! Wednesday night, I opened my Dohmie Sleep Bundle box. Inside was a bedtime story for my little ones, an informative sleep insert, and the Magic Box, my Dohm-NSF Sleep Conditioner. I immediately plugged it in to hear what it sounded like. The Dohm features two speeds but the tone and volume are completely up to your preference with just a simple twist. Wednesday evening when we went to bed I simply turned it on the lowest speed and Magic happened that night! Grayson stirred very little, but NEVER woke up...actually snored! This is an amazing difference from his usual stirring all night and night terrors. Starr, who usually wakes 3-4 times a night, only woke 1 time! My husband, who ALWAYS complains of not sleeping well, woke rested, refreshed, and feeling like he slept for days! Myself, being a mother and waking at every little whimper, I slept so deeply. It was the kind of sleep you only get when going to bed after having a few glasses of wine, but BETTER!
We have been using the Dohm every night since and I will never go back!

I have tried those night lights, soothing Cd's, the womb bears etc. None have helped my children sleep like the Dohm Sleep Conditioner. It is just an added bonus that my husband and I reap the benefits being in the same room with the kids. Had I known about this machine when pregnant with my son, I would have bought this in a heartbeat.

Being the Official Sound Conditioner of the National Sleep Foundation, and just getting a face lift 52 years later, the Dohm is my Magic Machine! I LOVE LOVE LOVE it! Who knew that a good nights sleep was possible with two children under the age of 5! Where can you get one of these Magic Machines? They are sold directly thru their website, on Amazon, Target, or Walmart. Want to add a personal touch to your Dohm? You can add your own skin to your machine making it not only a Serious Sleep Machine but giving it some serious style too.


Splurge or Shop Savvy?? With this product and the proven results backing it, I'd say it is most definitely worth the Splurge!

I would like to send out a Ginormous THANK YOU to the lovely ladies who I had the pleasure of meeting Tuesday evening representing Marpac at the Biggest Baby Shower, the entire Marpac company, and the founder Jim Buckwalter for creating my Magic Sleep Machine!
