Some parents swear by the high-tech devices, which keep tabs on everything from an infant’s crying to their vital signs, but experts warn the gadgets may come with risks. Here’s what to know.
Baby monitors have come a long way since the audio-only option your parents likely used when you were an infant. Many of today’s smart baby monitors are Wi-Fi enabled, letting you keep an eye on your child from your phone, tablet or computer, whether you’re at home, at the office or out on a date night. Wearable baby monitors, which baby can wear as a sock, wristband or a diaper clip, go one step further and monitor baby’s vitals to scan for any signs of trouble.
The convenience factor is also a big sell for new parents. Being able to visually monitor baby while getting in some work, preparing dinner or exercising lets you multitask like a pro. Many smart baby monitors even give you the option to send data directly to your child’s pediatrician, so you can discuss any concerns about baby’s sleep.
