At night the parents also need a good night’s sleep. If the baby is sleeping alone in the other room, the parents have the tendency to keep going over to check on the baby. Hence, a good baby monitor is always a handy tool. Here are a few tips to buy a good baby monitor.

What are baby monitors?

Baby monitor usually consist of two different units, one is called the transmitter, which is placed in the room where the baby is. The second unit is called the receiver unit. This is a portable unit. The parents can carry this unit with them wherever they go.  The baby monitors are really great.

And with the baby monitors you can immediately be with the baby as soon as the baby wakes up.

The baby monitors should be place about 3 to 10 feet away from the baby. The video monitors need to be placed more near to the baby, to record the baby’s movements. Trial and error will give you the experience on where to place the baby monitor.
