  I think the Dex would help - it's a nice soothing rhythmic sound.  It's the same principle as using an old winding clock that makes a ticking sound, but believe it or not these are harder to find and more expensive.  I buy mine my Dex bears used off of ebay and can usually get them for around $10.00.  Since you just hang them on the baby's crib they come in new condition.  I think they are about $25 new.  |
