Baby Shower Planning

Baby Monitors are a great way to alleviate some of the stress when you can’t be in the same room with your new baby. Baby monitors allow you to still to hear or see when your baby wakes to be changed or fed.

During the day, monitors will give you the freedom to do other things around the house like laundry, cooking, cleaning, making a phone call, all while your baby naps, essentially providing an extra set of ears or eyes to help look out for your baby.

 
Baby monitors vary in price, style and features

Depending on your wants, wall construction, and the distance from your baby’s room, all of these factors taken into consideration, will help you in deciding which type of monitor is best for you.

If you need to see and hear your baby, then an audio/video monitor is the one for you. Listen and watch what your baby is up to. There is a small camera that you place in your baby’s room and a small television or handheld television that you keep with you. Some models even have infrared cameras which will allow you to see your baby even in the dark.

If you just want to be able to hear your baby, then an audio baby monitor will suit your needs. The transmitter stays in your baby’s room and the receiver goes whereever you go, allowing you to hear every cry or sound that your baby makes.

If you want the added assurance that your baby is breathing and/or moving, you will want an audio & movement baby monitor. You place a pad underneath your baby’s crib, cradle or bassinet mattress to detect the slightest movement. It also has a transmitter that you place in your baby’s room, and it comes with a receiver. They also usually come with a no movement alarm, if your baby hasn’t moved in a certain amount of time, usually 20 seconds the alarm will sound.

You will find baby monitors manufactured by quality trusted manfuacturers such as Sony, Fisher-Price, First Years, Graco, Summer Infant Products, and Safety 1st.

Baby montitors are great baby items for first time parents (or experienced), they give you the peace of mind you need to get the rest you need, and that is worth alot.
