If you are a parent with a young child, you will appreciate the great convenience and precious peace-of-mind that baby monitors can give you. This article offers you tips on monitors for baby regarding features, reliably and the best quality.
Recently, my wife and I had gone to visit a couple with whom we were regular bridge players. Since they just had a baby, our weekly bridge sessions had gone on a hiatus. Now, almost four months later, we started playing again.
Having tucked in her baby to sleep, the mother was thrilled come to the bridge table to join in the game. All of us were thoroughly enjoying ourselves when suddenly there was a high pitched scream of a child wailing. I was utterly startled.
Even as the mother rushed upstairs to check on her baby, I was left wondering if it was just me, or had we heard the baby wailing crystal clear from a considerable distance on a different level of the house?
Seeing my startled and mystified expression, the husband broke into laughter and explained that it was the remarkable effect of their new contraption, a digital baby monitor, that they had gotten. It was what was known as a safety baby monitor.
Now, I too have a child. But it is different then other baby safety monitors: it is called a maid. And she is a very efficient one at that!
But seriously, the only kind of baby monitor I had heard about or seen was the one in the infant’s ward of maternity hospitals. And even there, the monitor was only used to monitor the vital signs of sick babies.
Was there something I was missing, or perhaps, unable to see? Seemed like it, as the husband began to explain all about baby monitors. The baby monitor, according to him, was an indispensable two way radio that was commonly used to monitor infants.
Many parents have faced the problem of going about their household chores as the baby lies in another room, seemingly asleep. But they have often discovered that there’s a constant tussle between managing e baby and managing the chores.
Choosing the chores over the baby leaves them feeling like they aren’t there when needed – whether for a diaper change, feeding time or just to pat the baby to sleep. And the problem remained till some innovative soul came up with a simple and effective baby monitor.
A typical baby monitor is a two part gadget. One part is the transmitter, that can be kept near the crib of the baby and the other part is a receiver that is carried around. This way, no matter where in the house you are, if your baby makes a noise, the baby monitor will let you know.
Sounds simple right? One wonders why nobody ever thought of it earlier. But it does get better. Newer version of baby monitors come with multiple receivers that can connect wirelessly with your existing sound system to keep you posted.
And some of the technologically advanced baby monitors also come with an in-built camera, or a baby monitor video, for you to not just hear your baby, but to see it too. So even if it is moving around and not making a sound, you can still rush to comfort it.
This is some awesome invention! I decided then and there that although my first born was not monitored constantly, I would ensure that my next child would have the facility of growing up with a baby monitor.
