Origin
Chad and Katie Zunker founded Baby Shusher while raising their own three children. Katie and her husband had no clue how to be parents for the first time and when their little one arrived they were met with a fussy and impossible to soothe child. Like many new parents, they were desperate for a
way to soothe their daughter. Thus leading to the birth of the Baby Shusher. Grounded in the study of rhythmic shushing used to calm new babies, they developed a hands-free way to provide that calm and
soothing sound for their children. Upon seeing how magical it was for their own children Chad and Katie decided to share their findings with the rest of the parents of the world. 2013 is when the Baby Shusher became a product available for retail and since then it has enabled so many parents to reclaim their
productive lives and still give their brand new baby all the tools to be
calm and happy.
Design
The Baby Shusher is an incredibly unique and amazing invention wrapped in a very small and simple design. The small orange and white tower has 3-time settings for 15, 20, and 30 minutes so that you can customize how long you would like calming noises to play for your baby. The bottom has an adjustable volume control function so you can choose if you want a louder shush to drown out other sounds or a soft and quiet shush when it’s a quiet time but your little one still needs a little extra
soothing. The noisemaker uses a real human voice to simulate the shushing sound you make when lulling your newborn to sleep for added familiarity and comfort. It is also designed to be portable. Its small and lightweight size allows you to move it with you wherever the baby is, and it has a removable wrist strap so you can carry it while you hold your little one to help them get to sleep. It is battery operated, but it comes with 2 AA batteries included so you can go right to
getting your little one to sleep straight out of the box. The design also features a safe and nontoxic production that keeps it free from any BPA or harmful materials that could harm your
sensitive new baby. Overall the design is perfect to give you some hands-free help whenever and wherever you need it.
Materials
The materials used in the production of the Baby Shusher are safe and long lasting to ensure your lifesaver will last you a long time. The Baby Shusher is made from plastic on the exterior that is easy to clean and disinfect. The plastic is certified to be BPA, latex, phthalate, and lead-free so you know it is safe for use around a newborn baby even though they are so sensitive.

Ensuring your child is safe from chemicals found in baby product materials can be a frustrating struggle with all the misinformation and shady production companies. The Baby Shusher is honest about the materials used and the process to develop their product is a breath of fresh air for new parents.
Ease of Use
As a new parent, you know that not all products for your baby are easy to use, intuitive, or simple in any way. It can be frustrating to not only navigate a new situation with raising a child but also trying to figure out how to use everything safely and properly. The Baby Shusher has a great easy to use and simple design that makes it a breeze to give your child that calming effect to
help them get to sleep. The Shusher only takes two AA batteries which are even included so you can save that extra trip to the store. The extra time settings make it easy to have some variability in the use of the Shusher. The adjustable volume also makes it easy to use the Shusher no matter where you are. On a plane, in the car, or just at home. The design is also incredibly easy to move around especially with the removable wrist strap. Plus it is also
easy to clean because of the non-toxic plastic material. The design of the Baby Shusher put ease of use in the top priorities so providing your baby that support and calming sound can be easy to do.
Versatility
The Baby Shusher is an incredibly versatile product because of the small size and adjustable features. The Shusher is tiny which makes it easy to set down anywhere next to where your baby is lying or sitting or being held. If you are traveling, the Shusher is also the perfect size to come along with you, plus the adjustable volume means you can play the Shushers sound in a public place without really being a nuisance. Although the public would probably enjoy listening to the Shushers rhythmic sounds than your screaming child. The wrist strap also adds versatility by making the Shusher able to dangle on your wrist while you feed, rock, or hold your baby. The sound adjustment is also great if your little one needs a
long sound to help them sleep or just a short one to help them calm down during a tantrum. The battery operation is also great because there are
no cords holding it back from following you and your little one everywhere you go. The Baby Soother is perfect for a colic baby or one who is just more fussy than average. The Baby Shusher allows parents to
soothe their child without necessarily having to be hands-on, which is amazing while in the car when working from home or even while you're getting some chores done or taking a shower. The ways you can use this product are almost endless.
Portability
The actual size of the Baby Shusher is 2.3 x 2.3 x 5 inches and it only weighs 3 ounces. This means that the Shusher is teenie tiny and fits in the palm of your hand for incredible portability. The Baby Shusher also comes with a removable wrist strap so you can take it anywhere you need to without it being in the way at all. It is small enough to fit noticeably in a purse or diaper bag. It could sit in a cup holder on a stroller to follow you into a store or to a friend date.

anywhere you go is amazing for a parent. It gives them the ability to take back their life when it comes to going places and doing things on your schedule.
Annoyance Factor
Babies cry when you least want them to and at the most inconvenient times. Whenever you are busy or need peace and quiet, it is almost a guarantee your little one will have a fit. The Baby Shusher is the perfect cure to stop your baby when crying safely and in a way that is positive and frustration-free for you. It is normal for a new parent to feel overwhelmed and stressed by their
new baby. It is a learning process for the baby and for parents as well. The crying can become annoying, but the Baby Shusher provides a way to stop it. The volume adjuster allows you to chose how loud or how quiet you want the sound to play. The reason why white noise is so effective for calming a baby is that it is reminiscent of sounds heard while your baby was in the womb.
When in the womb the sounds are actually very loud for your baby. So at first, the Shusher may sound rather harsh to you, but as you discover its calming effect and soothing qualities you will grow accustomed to it. Parents who love this device have said it is annoying at first, but so much easier to hear that, other than their little one screaming and crying for hours on end.
