A mum was left in stitches when she realised that she’d been blaring a Disclosure song instead of white noise to her sleeping baby.
Ellis Young put one-year-old Elsie-Rose to bed and asked Alexa on her Amazon device to play the claiming tunes to help send her off to sleep.
The 27-year-old crept out of the room before Alexa started to play and checked on the tot using a baby monitor for the next two hours.

Ellis said she was baffled when the monitor sent her a notification saying that Elsie-Rose was crying as when she checked the app, she seemed to be sound asleep.
When the civil servant went into the nursery two hours later, she discovered that the speaker had been blasting out the song White Noise by Disclosure.
It then played more of the electronic duo’s tunes.
“It was hilarious,” Ellis, from Pontefract, West Yorks, told What’s the Jam.
“I put her to bed at around 7pm and then left the room straight away because if I give her a hug she wants to get back out.
“I asked Alexa to play white noise to help her get to sleep.
“The monitor kept saying that she was crying, but when I checked she was sleeping and she seemed fine.
“When I went into her room to check, I heard Disclosure and it was so loud.
“It was so funny. She was sleeping straight through it.
“She didn’t wake up once.
“Elsie-Rose is a deep sleeper. She’s used to noise.”
Ellis shared a video of Elsie-Rose sound asleep with the song playing in the background on TikTok.
The clip has racked up more than two million views and pals found it hilarious.
One person wrote: “My son’s white noise finished playing this morning and started playing sewing machine sounds.
“It sounded like a jackhammer but evidently he loved it because he was fast asleep, mouth open drooling.”
Lauren Barrie joked: “Not whispering to Alexa as if speaking is going to wake her.”
Cerys Jean Lloyd added: “Disclosure sent me into orbit, that’s so funny.”
