Video baby monitors
Gone are the days of monitoring your baby’s cries with a glorified walkie talkie. Recent developments in technology have made it much easier to stay on top of what your kids are up to. Video baby monitors allow you to watch your baby in real time. They can be synced to your smart phone or tablet so that you can view your baby wherever you are. Some video baby monitors can even record sound and video or emit soothing white noise.
Smart cribs
Smart phones and tablets are great, but they can only do so much for a fussy baby. Enter smart cribs. These cribs use state-of-the-art technology to lull your little one back to sleep so that you can get some much-needed shut-eye as well. Smart cribs like the SNOO Smart Sleeper can sense when a baby is getting restless, using a combination of white noise and rocking motions to soothe them back to sleep. This crib also provides parents with a sleep log for their child and has multiple settings for every stage of growth, from preemies to weaning babies.
Security systems
When your child outgrows a baby monitor, you can continue to keep them safe by installing a high-tech security system in your home. Security cameras can help you keep your eyes on your rambunctious toddler and make sure they don’t stir up too much trouble. You can also place a camera in your child’s bedroom to make sure they’re actually sleeping during nap time. Install systems near exits to alert you whenever a door opens and help stop your toddler’s great escape in its tracks. Many security systems are supported by mobile apps, making your security measures even more airtight.
Health monitors
Health monitors are the perfect tech product for parents who are constantly checking in with their pediatricians. Products like the Braun No-Touch + Forehead Thermometer can take temperatures up to two inches from the forehead, allowing you to check your child’s health without waking them from their slumber. Other health monitors, like the Owlet Smart Sock 2 Baby Monitor, function more like a Fitbit for babies. This device wraps around your baby’s foot and accurately tracks their heart rate and oxygen levels. The mobile app will alert your phone if anything is wrong.
