Baby Monitor Reviews and Bargains
We
hope you find all the information you need to help you choose the very
best baby monitor to help you care for your little one.
While most parents
are familiar with standard audio baby monitors, new technology is
changing the way parents watch over their sleeping babies. The standard
audio monitor usually includes a microphone unit which is placed in the
nursery and transmits sound to the portable parent unit. Some
more deluxe monitor sets include two parent units; this way, both
parents can carry a monitor at all times, or the units can be placed
strategically at different places in the home so the baby can always be
heard.
Now that video technology has become more affordable in general, baby
monitors are the latest household gadget to upgrade. No matter if you
are a new parent contemplating your first monitoring system or a
seasoned pro thinking about replacing your current monitor, the
question is whether you should choose a traditional system or one with
video capability.
With an audio-only monitor, you will hear your baby when he or she
whines, fusses, or cries, but you will hear nothing if he or she is
sleeping. For many this silence is a welcome time of relief, when they
can work on household chores or relax with a book uninterrupted. Adding
a video component will keep the baby ever-present in your mind, even
when he or she is not in the room. This may hinder your ability to
rejuvenate yourself during baby's down time, and could lead to
resentment if you feel you can never get away from him or her.
On the plus side, a video baby monitor gives many parents even more
peace of mind than an audio one. For some new parents, especially, the
silence on the other end of the monitor creates anxiety more than
relief. Worries about Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) can be a real
concern, and an audio monitor does nothing to reassure the parent that
the baby is breathing and doing fine. A video baby monitor, on the
other hand, allows the parent to visually see the baby any time,
without going in the nursery to check (and possibly waking the baby).
The best way to decide whether a video baby monitor should be in your
future is to first consider your own personality. Do you tend to be
more trusting or more concerned when it comes to your baby? If you look
forward to your quiet alone time while baby naps, perhaps an audio
monitor is just fine for you. If you crave the peace of knowing that
your baby is safe at all times, a video monitor may give you just the
reassurance you need.
