Monitor Options for New Born Babies

A baby monitor is important in observing your baby`s breathing and movements during its early developmental stages and during sleep. Choosing the right baby monitor for your baby is a personal matter, depending on whether you prefer simple but reliable audio monitoring or whether you desire more hi-tech coverage with the help of digital and long range monitors. There are many types of baby monitors to choose from with a diversity of features and functions available.

Features and Functions
Portable baby breathing effort monitors offer safety protection any time, any where. Small and discreet, they are clipped on to baby`s nappy. Should your baby stop breathing, an apnoea alarm will sound. Integrating the latest in sensing technology with a built in proactive stimulation, should your baby stop breathing for more than 15 seconds, they are designed to stimulate your baby from sleep with gentle vibrations from a Tummy tickle feature before sounding the alarm. Large scale baby monitors are the perfect choice for larger homes or for keeping an eye on your baby in larger buildings such as hotels. Audio baby monitors have an inbuilt room temperature reading function, two-way communication and a lullaby option. Wireless baby monitors enable parents to see and hear their precious charges from where ever they are in the home thanks to a flexible camera, larger and clearer screens, no internet interference and a secure signal for privacy. Digital camera baby monitors also offer clearer pictures of your sleeping baby and there is no interference from Broadband signals. Some monitors can accommodate 4 cameras – great with multi-child monitoring or with twins.

Respisense - A User Review

When I found my little boy of 13 weeks not breathing in his pram it was my worst nightmare, luckily I managed to resuscitate him just before the ambulance arrived although he went off again on the way to hospital, however he survived his ordeal and because he was breathing on admission to A+E the doctors all looked very disbelieving that this event actually happened (despite the ambulance men witnessing his 2nd event!!)  Anyway we were discharged the day after with no tests, no answers and no reassurances!!

We looked for monitors as we obviously could not sleep for watching him stop breathing again, we found Respisense and ordered one. Not only did it arrive in record time but it has been a god send. It has buzzed and stimulated him to breathe a few times and it has alarmed once when he needed more of our help to remember that breathing is a good idea!!

My son is now 9 months and hasn’t had any further episodes luckily but he still has his Respisense on each night. I would highly recommend this to anyone.
