Runs on battery and fits in the diaper bag, so the sound she falls asleep to at home is the same one at my mom’s house. Portability turned out to be the whole point for us.
NICETOWN 100% Blackout Curtains
Sunsets at 8pm were not helping anybody. These block the light rather than mostly blocking it. The room went properly dark and bedtime got about an hour easier.
