Handy Devices Every Parent With A Newborn Baby Must Own

Every time you look at your newborn baby, you’re reminded of why it’s well worth all the trouble you’re going through. Sleepless nights, hectic days, stressful routines; all of these hardships seem to ease away as soon as you hear your baby’s laughter. That doesn’t mean you should keep enduring your stressful routine, it just means you’ll have to look for smart solutions that make everyone happier. 

Here’s a list of 7 handy devices to help you out with this arduous yet rewarding task. 

1. Night Light

During the earlier years of your baby, installing a night light is more for your own sake than your baby’s. It helps you make your way around the room quietly without disrupting your baby’s sleep, which comes in handy when changing diapers or checking in on them. Better yet, you can install a smart motion-detection night light that alerts you of your baby’s movement in case they wake up in the middle of the night. That way, you won’t have to keep going back and forth between the living area and your baby’s room to check up on them. 

2. Smart Changing Pad

You’ll definitely have to set a designated place for changing your baby’s diapers, but consider how much more practical the task would be if you got a smart changing pad. A smart changing pad will do the exact job you need it to, in addition to weighing your baby and/or measuring a few vitals. You’ll get access to these statistics by downloading its designated mobile app and have a seamless experience of tracking your baby’s weight. This will give you insight regarding the amount of fluid they’re drinking and excreting. On the plus side, it’s easy to carry around in case you’re traveling on vacation. 

3. Smart Sock

Keeping track of your baby’s vitals is an important task you can’t neglect, but it’s quite the hassle to accomplish it using traditional methods. Chances are, your baby won’t stay still or calm long enough to give you the chance to read their vitals, which makes using smart socks an incredibly handy idea. They’ll wear these socks just like any others, and while their pretty little feet are getting warm and comfy, the smart socks will keep an eye on their vital signs and send you a report via a mobile application. You’ll get insights regarding their sleeping habits, heart rate, and oxygen levels at any given time. 

4. Baby Monitor

Worried about leaving your baby alone for a few minutes, much less a few hours? Then you’ll definitely need to install a baby monitor. Not all baby monitors will satisfy your needs though; you want to get one that can be used at opposite ends of the home, at the very least. Ideally, the monitor will keep track of your baby and send you a live feed of them at all times and across any distance, so you’ll need to get one that fits your needs. If you rarely ever leave the house, a short-distance one will be more than enough. However, if you’re used to hanging out with friends over the weekends, you’ll need one with a bigger connection range.

5. White Noise Producer

Putting your baby to sleep can be a hassle sometimes. What’s even worse, if they wake up in the middle of the night for no apparent reason. To maintain the flow of your baby’s sleep cycle and ease their bodies into a deep slumber, it’s worthwhile to invest in a white noise machine that keeps the noise playing. White noise is especially soothing to babies. However, you shouldn’t limit yourself to a designated white noise machine; you can simply play some white noise tracks through your phone or your home’s sound system. Better yet, make sure you have a portable sound device on you if you’re planning on leaving the house for a couple of nights with your baby. 

6. Bottle Sterilizer

Instead of washing your baby’s bottle manually – and ultimately failing to reach the bottom every time, maybe you should consider getting a bottle sterilizer for the job. This machine ensures that the bottles are not only clean from milk residue, but they’re also sterile from germs and kind of microbes as well. 

7. Air Humidifier

An air humidifier works miraculously in maintaining clean air and constant room temperature. It’s especially useful for your baby to prevent the air from drying out, which can cause irritation to their nose and throat and ultimately make them more susceptible to infection. 

Welcoming a newborn into your world is a life-changing experience. However, no one said that you have to keep suffering every step of the way. There are multiple handy devices that can help you in providing the best care, environment, and monitoring to keep your mind at ease.
