Baby Monitors

We just recently got a baby monitor for Angelina. I didn't want to put her in her own room until I had a monitor in there so I could hear her if she woke up. It makes me feel a lot better, because now I can hear every little sound she makes. I can take the monitor with me wherever I go and still feel secure that I will hear Angelina if she wakes up or starts fussing. I love it! I was so nervous, as a first time mother, about putting Angelina in her own bedroom without me right next to her (especially at night). But having that baby monitor next to me at all times has really eased my worries away. (And for those of you who are wondering, experts say it is all right to let your child sleep in their own room anytime after around four weeks-as long as you have a baby monitor or are close enough that you can hear them if they should need you. But this is up to you. What it really comes down to is when you and your baby are ready.)

Some advice for parents who are planning on getting a baby monitor is make sure you get a good one! The one shown below is fantastic. This one if almost identical to the one Casey and I got for Angelina, and it works great! It has a 2-way communication walkie-talkie feature which allows parents to talk and listen to baby plus talk to each other without disturbing the baby. It also has a 650 foot range for extensive mobility with an out-of-range warning feature. The Low Battery Indicator alerts you that the power is low. It even has rechargeable batteries which help save you money (batteries are included). The belt clip lets you move around hands free and still monitor your baby. And the wall mount allows you to set up a stationary location for the base while keeping it out of the way.

As always, I hope this helps some of you out! Let me know if you have any questions! And feel free to browse the other helpful websites I have on my page.
