A mother cannot afford to cook in the kitchen and be with her baby in the nursery at the same time. Nor can a father or mother entertain the guests or manage their home job and be with the baby simultaneously. All of them rely on a baby safety monitor to track their baby’s sounds and activities to make sure that the baby is safe. 

Earlier models of these monitors were simple machines that contained a transmitting and receiving mechanism. But manufacturers of baby monitors are nowadays incorporating the full spectrum benefits of advancing technology into the making of these gadgets. The result is that the latest ones that use digital technology are several steps ahead in their functionality than the analog monitors that have been prevalent before it.

The Pros of Digital Baby Safety Monitors

Digital monitors, first of all, provide far better sound and video quality than analog monitors. The precise transmission of sounds using digital technology enables the listener to make out even the slight variation in the child’s breathing patterns. And they can view the child’s movements and facial expressions also better because of the sharper video quality of digital monitors.

The range availability and interference features are also better in digital monitors than in analog monitors. If a baby is to be viewed only from a couple of rooms away, any type of monitor would suffice. But those who have a larger house and want to view the baby from the yard, or deck, or garage, should ideally rely on digital baby safety monitor since it provides a much higher range. With analog monitors, the sounds that your baby makes can be picked up by neighbors also who rely on the same frequency for their baby monitors, and you may also get to listen to the sounds their baby makes. This can sometimes be inconvenient, or confusing. Digital monitors have better no-interference technology and security features that help to maintain the users’ privacy.

And the Cons 

While the benefits of digital baby monitors are fully acknowledged, it has its negative sides as well.  The health risks involved in the technology has not been fully ruled out. The electromagnetic waves that are part of the digital technology is said to expose the child to radiation. While these are bad even for adults, the tender body and organs of babies are believed to be more susceptible to the radiation from electromagnetic waves. A partial solution out of this is keeping the monitor as far away from the child as possible.

Another downside of digital monitors is its high cost. The question whether this is a downside or not will depend on the long term cost effectiveness of the product and the financial capacity of the buyer. 

Conclusion

Digital baby safety monitors invariably have more to offer than analog baby monitors. However, a user’s requirements have also to be considered in evaluating a product. For smaller range requirements, analog monitors will also give a satisfactory service.

Baby Carriers aka Baby Slings Defined

Let me first say that I am a man – that’s capital M-A-N. When I first heard baby carrier I quite simply thought – wife! Hold on now before you all, if you haven’t already, labeled me as a capital P-I-G let me continue. I thought for a moment and assumed they were talking about a stroller – those little inexpensive lightweight fold up modes of transportation that have been around for years to push around an infant while shopping, or at the park, or at the zoo, etc. WRONG! OK – how about that padded piece of plastic with a big handle over that seems to have multiple functions? The name of this item escapes me right now. It doesn’t matter since I’m WRONG – again! I give. What is a baby carrier?

After a crash course I have learned that there are a vast amount of types of baby carriers that can be basically separated into four different categories. I’ll go more depth on each at a later date and within each category you will also find that the manufacturers vary some in their methods of construction.

BABY WRAPS: Baby wraps are quite simply a long piece of cloth that is wrapped around the infant and the person carrying the infant. The material is knotted to keep the child and wrap in place.

BABY SLINGS: Baby slings take the knots out of the wrap by sewing the material together where needed or there is a variation that uses a couple of rings to fasten the cloth.

MEI TAIS: A mei tai is a type of carrier that consists of a formed area for the infant and is held in place by shoulder straps and a waist strap that are tied.

BABY CARRIER: A baby carrier is similar to a mei tai except that it uses snaps and/or buckles at the shoulder and waist straps.

As you can see these are very broad definitions. I will go into each in more depth at a later date. Stay tuned.

Baby carriers et al offer the carrier the opportunity to have your baby with you and still have both hands free to do, for example, household tasks or shopping. As with all items associated with your infant please comply with all safety instructions such as proper positioning of the child, size limitations, and movement restrictions.
