Gro-Hush Review and Competition!
Working as a Maternity nurse with newborn babies, I am a big fan of white noise in calming and using to help send the babies I look after, off to sleep.
I recommend white noise as a good sleep cue to parents who contact me via our forum and also highly recommend it in my book, The Blissful Baby Expert.
So when The Gro Company contacted me and asked if I would like to review their new product, the Gro-hush, which is a portable white noise calming device, I was thrilled.
I am currently working with newborn twins, who I will be with until Christmas, and The Gro company very kindly offered to send 2 of the Gro-hush-one for each twin.
The gro hush transmits soothing white noise to your baby to calm and relax them after feeding and help them fall asleep.
There are three soothing white noise sounds to choose from:
*Rain on a tin roof (sounds strange but actually sounds lovely)
*Ocean waves
*Heartbeat
And they are all set at a safe volume.
My husband very kindly put the batteries in for me before I left for work one evening, (requires 3x AAA-not included, and a Phillips screwdriver to fit) and I practically had to wrestle it off him, as he sat holding it close to his ear, testing the white noise sounds out and telling me he needed one!
(Guess I know what to buy him for Christmas now!)
I took the Gro hush to work and was met with 2 unsettled babies, so I was able to test it out straight away! The twin girls I'm working with are already used to white noise as I have been using an app on my phone for the last couple of weeks, so I was hopeful they would respond well.
They didn't let me down and with one over each shoulder, I switched the gro hush on to the heartbeat sound and they both calmed down and fell straight to sleep.
(I’m taking the photo as I hold them both and you can see the Gro-Hush between the two babies)
Since then, we have continued to use the gro hush in the cot if they are unsettled.
Sometimes all I need to do is switch it on as they are stirring and they immediately resettle.
Having 2 means if one twin wakes and begins crying, I pick her up and use one gro hush to settle her and also switch the other one on in the cot to keep the second twin calm and quiet to stop her waking up with any noise her sister may be waking!
Overall it's a resounding thumbs up and the twins, their parents and I all highly recommend the new Gro Hush

This looks fantastic would love to try it out on my baby girl x
These sound great, I resorted to trying white noise the other day and little one responded really well but using youtube on my phone the battery very quickly ran down!
Liked and shared on Facebook. I used a white noise app (on your advice)with my son and it really helped to soothe him. I’m expecting baby number 2 in May and plan to use white noise much earlier. This product looks brilliant.
Would love this for my little girl have so many moments were nothing seems to calm her down (even from birth the midwifes called her miriah cuz of her powerful lungs) and also would love if it to see if I can stop using the dodi. Did try an app on my fone but it sucked the life out of my battery
this looks great!!! X
Liked and shared. I really hope I win it! X x
This looks like an excellent product!
This product is a brilliant idea, both my husband and I have white noise apps on our phones but being on our phones we still find that we can’t always use them every time our baby needs it.
Like and shared looks great x
Liked and shared! Would love one for my prem girlie xxx
My son is now 8 months old and we have always used white noise to help him get to sleep. I currently use an app on my phone (usually the aeroplane but often rain if he’s very unsettled) but would love to be able to use my phone during nap time! Do you think it’s still worth buying at his age or would you recommend I try and phase it out?? Thanks
If he likes the white noise as an initial sleep cue then its fine to use still at his age. My toddler daughter still has her musical mobile wound up every night as we put her to bed as that’s what she’s used to! The animals are long gone that were attached to it, but we still have the mobile wind up bit hanging from a piece of ribbon in her room
Liked and shared on Facebook. This product looks amazing would love to try with my daughter. I already use an app on my phone but this would make like so much easier and save my phone battery. Looks small enough to carry in baby bag so would be great for naps as my daughter really struggles to settle for sleeps in the day.
white noise is amazing!! Liked and shared on fb.
Wow this sounds amazing! I would love to win one of these. Good luck everyone xx
This sounds and looks great! I am a fan of white noise and my little one has a Ewan the dream sheep however it can be a but bulky to carry around and take away so this looks like the next best thing 🙂

This is brill, remember my daughter used to love falling asleep to the hoover and the washing machine

What a clever idea! This seems like a lot safer than using a white noise machine or app because it’s set at a safe volume, and it’s easy to use.

liked and shared! Sounds like a lifesaving device. I currently play a melodic song to my babe via YouTube on my iPhone to calm her but it’s only two minutes long so I have to sit and refresh the page til she’s nodding off!
This is the song by the way. My lg loves it https://youtu.be/Z3b1bz_9gEo

This sounds amazing. My 5 month old likes the noise from the tumble dryer at the minute!
