Baby monitors give parents peace of mind since they provide them with the luxury of seeing their children. In addition, it has the genius feature of making sleep training easier. Now there’s no need to risk being seen by your baby searching for a way out of a nap as you flick open the nursery door for a covert peeks!

As a result of the affordability of the latest high-tech baby monitors, millions of families are now investing in one, two or even three baby monitors to help their children live safe and healthy lives.

Some parents, however, are lacking important information concerning the safe use of baby monitors. In order to help you enjoy precious peace of mind, I’ve put together some tips for properly using and installing your baby monitor.

Providing a safe sleeping environment for their children is the goal of every parent. The manufacturer’s instructions should be read before using your baby monitor in order to achieve this goal.

The book is still worth reading, even though it’s not on the NYT Bestseller list.The book is still worth reading, even though it’s not on the NYT Bestseller list. The baby monitor’s electrical cord should also be read for safety issues. With this information, you can use your monitor safely.

Located at:

The baby monitor should be installed at least three feet from the crib (pack-n-play, bassinet, etc.) where the baby sleeps. Baby monitors should be placed at least three feet away from cribs (pack-n-plays, bassinets, etc.).

Often, I see baby monitors hanging from the crib rail or inside cribs or bassinets. Even though babies can’t grab anything, let alone a monitor, it’s still a good idea to keep it away from the crib at least 3 feet. As the baby grows and his or her reach expands, you won’t have to move the monitor later if you mount it on the wall now instead of later.

Angle:

Locate the baby monitor so that you will have a good view of the crib. A wall-mounted camera allows you to get a better viewing vantage point since it is located up high and out of reach.

You can easily install some monitors on the wall, like VTech’s Safe&Sound® Pan & Tilt Full Color Video Monitor, which comes with easy wall mounting. Consumers can now see in the dark too thanks to the latest technology.

Night vision with VTech’s infrared LEDs works better than your eyesight in the dark. A static camera might not capture a junior who might have rolled to the end of the crib out of sight if VTech’s latest monitor has a camera that moves up and down and left to right using a remote. Having access to all the technology makes supervision easy day and night!

Cord Control:

It is often possible to access the baby monitor’s dangling cord even when the monitor is out of reach. Video Monitors from VTech include a genius cord management system for storing any excess electrical cord within the mounting bracket, making it easy to manage baby monitor power cords.

Cord control or concealment kits, which are used by professional child proofers, are another option for cord management. Baseboards, walls, and ceilings can be covered with cord covers. The white plastic surface can be painted to match your home decor and can be cut to fit any length.

Leave at least 3 feet between the cord and the crib. Make sure all electrical devices in the nursery are at least three feet away from the crib, including lamps, iPods, sleep sound machines, clocks, etc. Electrical shock can be prevented by childproofing all outlets in the nursery.

Never:

Parental supervision shouldn’t be replaced by baby monitors, which can be very helpful tools for parents. Ensure that your baby is feeling well by checking their condition regularly.

Adding a baby monitor to your nursery room and the environment of your child will enhance their safety. Monitors shouldn’t be placed in certain areas, of course.

Electric shock can occur when you use a baby monitor in the bathroom or near water. It is never a good idea to leave a baby or child unattended in the bath.

What to look for in a safety feature

In the same way that babyproofing is the primary purpose of buying a baby monitor, the main purpose of buying one is to ensure your baby’s safety during sleep and while you perform household chores. How can you ensure your baby’s safety with a baby monitor? If you are buying a new baby monitor, consider these features:

Modern baby monitors with high-quality video resolution are ideal for monitoring during the day and at night.
With this feature, you can communicate with your baby from anywhere.
Your baby’s video is accessible from any mobile device, like a smartphone, tablet, or laptop.
You can adjust the baby monitor’s camera using your phone, so you can see your baby from all angles.
You should only let people you trust to access the video feed of the baby monitor.

Educating ourselves as parents is one of the most important things we can do to help us better raise our children and keep them as safe as possible.

Every day, we are exposed to new studies, technologies, and revealing statistics thanks to the uber information age. With these safety education programs combined with new, high-tech innovations, parents can cover so many more bases than ever before in order to make their lives easier and less stressful.

I’ll work hard to bring safety issues like this to light by being vigilant with supervision and reading up as much as I can. Have a great day!
