In this day and age there is a gadget for everything. Life has become so much easier that it used to be. Being parents for the first time can be scary and they can need all the help they can get.
From putting on diapers to getting the feeding timings organized all need a lot of planning and organizing. One thing I can tell you is that babies are a lot of hard work.
So let us take a look at the modern day gadgets that are making the life easier for new parents:
- Video baby monitor
Say goodbye to the age old audio baby monitors that used to alert us when our babies woke up by crying.
Parents today can not only hear but also view their babies while they are asleep few rooms away using a video baby monitor.
The best part about this gadget is that you can view the baby even while you’re at work via the internet.
This gadget allows you to get a quick peek at your little one at any time of the day, no matter where you are, so I’d say it’s worth the money.
- Pocket nanny
You might not be wealthy enough to hire a nanny but you can always go in for a pocket nanny.
For all those who don’t know what it is, it is a gadget that will remind you when you need to feed or change your baby or the time that he or she has to takes a nap.
- Pacifier thermometer
Kids often have a way of wiggling out the thermometer from places that we stick them into. A pacifier thermometer is great when you want to take a baby’s temperature and not disturb him or move him in the least.
It is ideal for that midnight temperature check.
- Breast Pump
Of course you are blessed with a natural pump to feed your baby, but there are times when you would want to express your milk in a bottle so that you can run errands or go out where breastfeeding in public would be difficult.
So if you really need to step out of the house and you baby is dependent on your milk, simply pump some milk and leave it in the fridge for your nanny or other family member in your house to give to your baby when he or she needs it.
- Baby Movement Monitor
This gadget is for the really paranoid parents. It is clipped to his diaper near his belly. This gadget alerts the parents with an alarm if their baby has not been active or moving for more than 15 seconds.
So if by any chance your baby has rolled over on his face and hasn’t moved, it just might be the gadget to let you know about it. It keeps awake for you at night.
- Tablet
You might want to keep your child away from the television. But there are some applications that can help create a spark in their imaginations and also keep them occupied for a while.
For example, if you are out in a place where you baby has to be quiet; a tablet can come in handy to keep him engaged.
- A smart phone
You must be wondering how this gadget came about to the aid of babies. Well basically the smartphone is for you women out there to keep yourself occupied when you are breastfeeding or waiting for your toddler to doze off.
- Baby shusher
Are you fed up of constantly having the task to shush your baby to stop crying and calm down? Then have no fear the baby shusher is here.
A baby shusher will make soothing sounds like that of the sounds he or she hears inside your belly that will calm him or her down and eventually stop the crying.
- Watch over me dream station mobile
This is a dream mobile station which is a step ahead of the old musical mobiles. This one watches over your baby and if he or she is awake, plays music or lights and puts your baby back to sleep.
- MamRoo swing
This gadget is basically a bouncing chair that comes with different movement settings, including a movement setting that says ‘car ride’ to help lull your little one to sleep.
So go buy yourself these gadgets and make your life easier.
