Baby Monitor Facts and Features

Posted on Friday, 12 February 2010 06:03PM by babyandpregnancy.co.uk
Parents often find comfort in being able to know that their baby has woken and needs to be fed or changed. A few generations ago, mums would listen carefully outside the nursery door in order to keep tabs on what their babies were doing, and check often in case of the possibility of cot death, but today's parents can listen for their baby to stir from anywhere in the house or garden, thanks to baby monitors - and even watch them with baby video monitors.

Basic Features of Baby Monitors

Busy parents often take advantage of baby's nap time to complete a few household chores. It can be very helpful to place a baby monitor in the nursery and have constant access to your baby's activities without constantly checking to see if they are awake.

Baby monitors vary quite a bit, from very basic to a few with all of the bells and whistles. Even the most fundamental models of baby monitor typically provide parents with two options for monitoring the nursery - lights and sounds. Most receivers offer volume control that scales all the way down to silent, allowing parents to be alerted to their baby's cries by a series of lights. Usually, the lights operate in a series so that parents and other caregivers will know whether the baby is cooing quietly or wailing loudly.

Some baby monitors come with one portable receiver, while others include two. The simplest monitors have a fairly short range, but are usually sufficient for a small house or flat. Those who need to cover a wider area need to upgrade to a more deluxe model.
