Baby Monitor Information

Some experts, including ConsumerReports.org, say that many parents really don't need a baby monitor, and that you're not a bad parent if you don't get one. Those who live in apartments or small homes where they can easily hear a baby crying with no electronic assistance might not need one of these at all.

The Babies and Kids Blog at ConsumerReports.org has a helpful article called, "Baby Monitors: 4 Things to Know before You Buy."

This somewhat outdated article from BabyCenter.com tells "How to Buy: A Baby Monitor."

An interesting article from HowStuffWorks.com answers the question, "Can Anyone Hear My Baby Monitor?"

The American Academy of Pediatrics discusses cardiorespiratory monitors in "Pediatrics," April 2003.
