Question About the "Babywise" Method of Sleep and Eat Routine

I have a quesiotn for other mom's who have tried the Babywise method of establishing a routine for my infant. My son is 8 weeks old, and we have been very good about establishing the 3 hour routine Babywise requires. Although, I just realized last night that we never established a "set" first morning feeding. We have been going from whenever he wakes as the first feeding to then begin the 3 hour schedule. Can anyone advise as to how they established the first feeding? Do you set an alarm for the same time? If you were on maternity ...

Advice on White Noise Machine

As the cooler weather approaches, I'm sad that I will have to eventually give up the fan in my daughter's room that has served as a wonderful buffer to our very creaky house! I looked into the sleep machine available at Babies r us but it didn't seem to go loud enough to match my fan on level 3! Has anyone purchased a white noise machine? I googled and found the main one sold is by a company Marpac Corp. - the Soundscreen 980A. Before I purchase it, I was just looking to get some feedback/reviews from moms who might have tried this...
