Baby Monitors - What are They And How Do They Work?

Baby monitors are often battery powered devices and generally consist of transmitter unit and receiver unit. The transmitter unit is usually fastened to the baby's crib or cot and the receiver of the baby monitor is kept close to the carer or parent so that they can monitor the baby. The receiver unit can often be carried around by the carer so that they can carry on with their daily tasks and activities whilst the baby is asleep. The simplest type of baby monitor is the audio type and this quite simply transmits the baby's noises to the receiver unit so the carer knows to attend to the baby.

Babies can be quite demanding but when they fall asleep they give relief to the parent or carer. But, you don't have to be an anxious parent to worry whilst your baby is asleep and it is only natural to want to be near to them. This is not always practical as the babe may be laid down to fall asleep in their own bedroom so by choosing a baby monitor to watch over your infant while they are sleeping will provide a lot of peace of mind as you will be notified the second your baby awakes. It allows you to go about your daily routine whilst baby is asleep.
