Nowadays, it’s easier than ever to stay connected – we can use technology to keep in touch with friends, check in on family, tune in to our favorite media, get work done, and engage with society. Smart technology has simplified so much of our daily lives; we can order food with the click of a button, check who’s at the front door with an app, and update our network with a simple post.
When we become parents, it feels even more important to stay connected, so it makes sense to prioritize smart tech when putting together a baby registry. Here are some great products to register for if you want to have a connected baby nursery.
1. Hälsa Baby All-In-One Wellness Monitor
Staying connected to your baby even when the little one is sleeping is essential for new parents. The one most important product to register for when creating a connected nursery is a baby monitor. Hälsa Baby’s All-In-One Wellness Monitor provides parents with reliable, accurate insights about their baby. Using a smart sensor and ankle band, a camera, a hub, and an app, parents can rest assured they’re getting all the information they need to track their baby’s wellness. This data can help give parents peace of mind.
With sensors for heart rate, oxygen levels, skin temperature variation, sleep patterns and movement, and room temperature and humidity, parents can monitor their baby’s sleep and environment easily and seamlessly. Other features include lullabies and sound machine, a night-light, two-way communication, and a log for tracking feedings and diaper changes.
2. Ring Video Doorbell
$49.99
from
Home Depot
When you have a newborn at home, sleep is hard to come by. The last thing you want is to have a noisy doorbell waking up the baby (or the dog, or the older kids, or yourself, honestly). Instead of a traditional doorbell, install a video doorbell that allows you to see who is at your door at any time.
With real-time notifications on your phone, HD video with night vision, and two-way talk, you never have to be concerned about a bell disrupting anyone’s sleep. Plus, you’ll undoubtedly get a lot of deliveries in those first few weeks/months – gifts from friends, food orders, packages from middle-of-the-night online shopping – and a video doorbell will ensure you don’t miss anything.
3. SNOO Smart Sleeper Bassinet
$1271.25
from
Happiest Baby
When it comes to helping babies sleep soundly, many parents swear by the SNOO Smart Sleeper Bassinet. The SNOO automatically calms fussing, gently soothing babies back to sleep with womb-like motion and sound. The bassinet has a secure swaddle that keeps babies on their backs, which can reduce the risk of SIDS.
With a fully integrated mobile app, parents can adjust the settings of the bassinet, check daily sleep reports, and get expert tips. If the price tag on the SNOO makes you clench your wallet a little tighter, look into the rental option instead.
4. Hatch Grow Smart Changing Pad and Scale
One of the best ways to know if your baby is developing well in the first few weeks and months is by tracking their growth. The doctor will measure baby’s weight, height, and head circumference at each appointment, but it can be helpful to know baby’s weight between doctor visits.
The Hatch Grow Smart Changing Pad and Scale is a soft foam changing pad with a built-in wireless scale. Using the connected phone app, you can track baby’s weight gain and exactly how much they consume each feeding (which can be really helpful for breastfeeding moms).
5. Kasa Smart Plugs
Control the rest of the devices in your baby’s nursery with simple smart plugs. These slim plugs integrate with smart-home platforms (like Alexa and Google Home) and allow you to turn on and turn off devices with voice commands, apps, or scheduling in advance. Use these plugs to connect the rest of the devices in your baby’s nursery, such as humidifiers, air purifiers, lamps, and swings.
