For older babies who can have reached the age where they can differentiate objects, eye shades are the best for day time protection. Many will have watch cartoon programs where pirate are imitate. So when the eye shade is put on them to sleep the feel might as the character in the cartoons thus love it. They would fall a sleep without them knowing.

In homes where other children play as the baby sleeps, sound conditioner comes in handy to reduce the banging and other noises produced in the adjacent rooms. The baby is pacified and slow slip in a deep sleep without other children bothering its sleep

For safety of the baby and the sound machine I would recommend that it be placed next to the pillow or inside the baby’s head protectors. Make sure it’s in the top of the head so that it does no exert undue force on the baby’s skull if it lies on it. Care should be taken not to damage the yet developing skull of the child.

In full lit places the eye shades must be used. I would recommend their use even in situations that the baby does not have sleeping disorders, like baby insomnia. This would even extend a bit the sleeping time for the baby as will assume it’s still at night.
