How to send a screaming child to sleep

Apparently,

“White noise is an amazing sleep inducer. Not only does it mask unwanted outside noises, creaking doors and barking dogs, but it also mimics the sound of the rushing fluids and shifting body weight that your baby heard in the womb. In one study, young babies were three times as likely to fall asleep while listening to white noise as those not exposed.”

And if you go to beprepared.net you can download some white noise to put on a CD and play to your sleepless child. Maybe worth a try?
