Baby Sleep Advice

Getting the babies room ready, is a very exciting thing to do when you are pregnant. However, one item for this room that is often overlooked is the baby monitor. This electronic device, which enables you to hear the baby, wherever you are in the house is a very useful piece of equipment.

The monitor will be in 2 parts. One is the transmitter, which is placed in the room where the baby is, and the receiver which you take with you to wherever you are. Usually a monitor will transmit up to six hundred feet but there are some available which will transmit up to three thousand feet. The receiver runs on batteries, to enable you to carry it around with you, whilst the transmitter is plugged into an outlet. Most will have back-up batteries in case of a loss of power.

Make sure that you try out the monitor in the shop before you buy it. Sellers should understand why you want to do this and not have any issues with it. You need to ensure there is no static and the sound is clear. Try another model if you do get static. A baby monitor provides peace of mind both during the day and at nighttime, so its not a purchase you should skimp on.

There are some very basic baby monitors on the market and some that are packed with features. Below are some points that you may wish to consider before you buy.

• Battery low indicator light
• Baby crying indicator lights. Lets you know if baby is crying, without the need to have the volume up high
• Ability to buy multiple receivers, so you can place them around the house for convenience

For those who want to monitor the baby even more closely, there are some baby monitors that have motion detectors, and even video so you can see what your baby is doing.
