This is the Rugsucker Proxy in action. Transform a howling baby into a calm and peaceful one in about 20 seconds flat - magic!

5.0 out of 5 stars It's worked for both of my children, May 22, 2000

We heard about this CD on National Public Radio and bought it shortly it before our son was born. It sounded like a silly idea, but we found that it really did help to calm him and put him to sleep when nothing else would do the trick (i.e. bottle, change of diaper). We particularly got lots of mileage out of Track 4, the vaccuum cleaner. We'd typically just program our CD player to repeat this track a few times in row. A neighbor of ours told us that she actually wore out a real vaccuum cleaner by running it to calm her kids when they were babies. Obviously the CD approach is a little nicer here (and probably a little easier on the ears.) Now we are on our second child, and Track 4 is once again coming to our assistance!

Our son had some colic issues when he was young. From 6pm until about 4am he would be upset and crying. Everytime we got him to sleep he would be back up again in 15min. We started using a hair dryer and that seemed to work but was a fire hazard at the same time. We then got this CD - what a life saver! His favorite was the vacuum. We set up the CD to repeat on this track and he would settle right down to sleep. The sounds would really calm him down. We now buy this CD for all of our friends. We would never survived those initial months of colic without this CD.
