Why do so many parents love Hatch Baby?

The Hatch Baby sound machine and night light is part sleep machine, part baby sleep solution. And, let's be real, in that first year, sleep is so important for everyone involved. But, don't just take it from me, USA TODAY Shopping editor Dylan Reffe is a first-time dad and he swears by it just as much:

"We started using a Hatch Rest when my daughter was ready for a crib around four months old. While sleep is a constant battle for most new parents, Hatch helped instill some pieces of regularity and familiarity with a new setting. Though I'm sure I've just jinxed myself, our now eight-month-old is a pretty great sleeper, and you simply cannot put a price on that."

Hatch helps create that consistency by combining a few things:

• Sleep support tools
• Predictive sleep schedules
• Real-time sleep support
• Expert-backed sleep guidance
• Customizable lights and sounds
• App-controlled routines

Hatch is one of the leading sleep tech brands for a reason. With the new Hatch Baby, you can control customized lights and sounds on your phone instead of tip-toeing into the nursery and hoping you don't wake the baby.

The major benefit is the in-app support, whether you're looking for soothing strategies or debating on dropping a nap, experts are ready to help you 24/7 and a Hatch Baby purchase today comes with a six-month subscription that you just can't beat.
