When I was\u00a0asked to review the\u00a0HUSH Hat<\/strong><\/a> for WestsideMommy.com<\/strong><\/a>, it couldn’t have come at a better time because\u00a0my four-month-old son started to startle and wake up from noises during his daytime naps. I admit, I am not the most graceful of human beings, so my clumsiness frequently woke up my son; which is never\u00a0pleasant for either of us. Luckily, my almost three-year-old daughter could sleep through any loud situation since birth, so I didn’t\u00a0understand what I was doing differently with my son to make him more sensitive to sounds. Was my pot-dropping not helping him get used to noise while he napped?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Along comes the HUSH Hat<\/a><\/strong>:\u00a0it looks like any other beanie for a baby but with a secret weapon; two soft pillow-y medical grade foam that conforms to your baby’s ears to soften out any harsh\/startling high decibel noises.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

I was skeptical at first, thinking that this product was too good to be true, because how could something as simple as little foam pieces defend my son’s hearing from loud noise monsters including\u00a0myself, angry LA car-honking drivers, and the construction filled world we live in?<\/span><\/p>\n

We tried it during his first nap. It was kind of a hard adjustment for him. I had never put a cap or hat on him, so he kept tugging on it, which made the foam pieces that were\u00a0supposed to lay against his ears shift and the front part of the hat covered his eyes, which he also hated.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

That was my rookie mistake, so I put it on him AFTER he fell asleep and voil\u00e1, no more angry baby tugging on a hat.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

That was my rookie mistake, so I put it on him AFTER he fell asleep and voil\u00e1, no more angry baby tugging on a hat. After that, he slept soundly and didn’t wake up for three hours. I even put him in the living room during a time I knew the trash truck would come and make crashing and banging sounds that would definitely wake him up, but nada – he slept right through it. He did wake up when an unexpected package came to my door and the dogs went on their barking cacophony, but he didn’t wake up crying.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

It was the holiday season, so we went on many adventures with our two kids in tow. We visited\u00a0Universal Studios theme park<\/strong><\/a> and spent most of the late afternoon and evening there, which happens to coincide with one of my son’s nap times. When he started to get sleepy, I put the\u00a0HUSH Hat<\/a><\/strong> on him. He peacefully slept\u00a0through the rustling and bustling that only a theme park can offer!<\/span><\/p>\n

Here was the ultimate test for the\u00a0HUSH Hat<\/a><\/strong>: watching a movie in a theater. After a few previews before the movie\u00a0SING<\/a><\/strong>,\u00a0\u00a0he was out like a light. Despite wearing the\u00a0HUSH Hat<\/a><\/strong> throughout the whole movie, the occasional deep bass startled my son, because he could feel it in his body. He didn’t\u00a0wake up, but he jolted a little. I would not recommend taking your baby to see a movie, even with the\u00a0HUSH Hat<\/a> if your baby is sensitive to that kind of feeling.\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
