Baby Monitor Options For Parental Peace of Mind

Once your baby has gone to sleep, the last thing you want to do is risk waking them up by entering the nursery to check on them. With the premium baby monitor options available at Pottery Barn Kids, you'll be able to view and hear them from anywhere in the home. Sensors that track their heart rate and oxygen levels are also available. Browse to find bestselling baby gear to bring peace of mind to your nursery.

Wall-Mounted and Floor Monitors

As soon as you've moved your baby into their own room, monitor systems become very important. These devices transmit continuous video and non-stop background audio to your smartphone, allowing you to check on the nursery from another room. While often used to monitor infants at naptime or bedtime, they're also great for keeping an eye on restless toddlers who don't like to stay in bed and checking in during independent playtime.

Classic nursery monitors are available from top brands like Hatch and Nanit and are typically compatible with Apple and Android devices. Choose from wall-mounted options to mount above the crib or toddler bed or floor stand options for portability. Some devices also include additional features that are sure to come in handy throughout your child's various life stages.

• Several monitors allow for two-way audio, so parents can soothe their baby or communicate with their toddler from a distance.
• Many offer temperature and humidity data to help you control the atmosphere in their sleep space. Nursery humidifiers are also available separately.
• Some monitors double as a sound machine, with a built-in library of soothing sounds, including white noise, nature sounds and lullabies.
• Others double as a nightlight with various color options available. These nightlights feature an LED clock and can be programmed to change colors to create visual cues for naptime or bedtime.
• Some devices will remember up to ten wi-fi networks, so you only have to add commonly used networks once. They're also small enough to fit in a diaper bag when taking the baby to visit friends and family members.

Wearable Monitors

There are also several wearable baby monitor options available that you can use in conjunction with a classic monitor, like Owlet sock sensors. These little socks allow you to monitor your baby's heart rate and oxygen levels with real-time vital sign updates from the Owlet app. Each set includes two socks, allowing you to keep one cleaned and charged at all times (be sure to remove the sensors before cleaning). They're designed to fit snugly on either foot and are adjustable for babies up to 18 months old. While they should not replace prescribed medical devices, Owlet socks can make a big difference for new parents who are looking for extra peace of mind.

The Nanit breathing band and swaddle set is another smart solution for parents of newborns. These items use no electronic sensors, relying instead on a unique pattern that's printed on the band and swaddle. When paired with the Nanit Plus Camera, it will track the pattern to gain data on your child's sleeping motion. Because the unique design wraps around the whole band, it will track even if your baby moves around in their sleep. Parents will receive alerts via an app when the baby is awake or needs attention.

Choose from a variety of wall-mounted or portable monitors to use in your child's nursery, bedroom or play area.
