Two Way Baby Monitor

It is natural for parents to feel stressed out about the arrival of the baby, but not to worry because the two way baby monitor is here to help ease things a little. Being a parent of a newborn 2 years ago, I understand how it can be difficult to put your baby to sleep and feel relaxed enough to get a break while they sleep without checking on them every few seconds. Checking on a sleeping baby is important; however you should have the freedom to move around your home. This is where a two way baby monitor plays an important role. It is like having eyes at the back of your head, but even better!

Every baby monitor will come with a transmitter and a receiver. Transmitters are placed close to the baby to pick up and broadcast sound, video or both. The other piece of the monitor is the receiver. This is the parent’s unit. It is handheld, lightweight and portable so feel free to carry it around to house while you attend to chores. The receiver will broadcast any sound or picture to you.

Types of Baby Monitors
There are various kinds of baby monitors to choose from.

If you are on a budget, an audio analog baby monitor is the cheapest you can find.
The next in line would be digital baby monitors with only audio capabilities (without video).
Today you can also purchase baby monitors that have video capabilities and those that make two-way communication possible, meaning the parent can hear the child and talk to the child at a distance. In addition to these, features like low battery alerts, loops to hang the receiver on a belt add to the value these baby monitors can bring to your hectic parenting life.

Two Way Baby Monitor
The two way communication is an add on feature to traditional one way baby monitors that only act as baby listeners. The key draw of this is the ability to broadcast your voice to your baby in the crib without having to physically enter the baby’s room. This talkback feature helps to maintain the parent-child bond, despite the parent being at a certain distance. Parents could sing their lullabies or read stories while they do the laundry or while they clean the house. Now, how cool is that! Even at a distance, parents are empowered to interact with their child through the device. And children, upon recognizing the familiar voice of their parents are given the assurance that they are watched and are in a safe place, which can be soothing to them.

Benefits
Some of the benefits of a two way bay monitor include the following:

Lull the baby back to sleep – Many times babies get up and sense that there is no one in the room. At this time if you can say a few soothing words to your child using your two way monitor, there is all possibility that your baby shall go back into slumber.
A two way monitor also comes in handy if you want to immediately speak to your baby when he gets up as you make your way to the nursery to cuddle him.
Strengthen the bond with you baby – Babies who grow up hearing the voice of their mothers or fathers are more attached to them. However, in today’s hectic lifestyle, this can pose a challenge. You’re certainly not bonding with your child if you have to shout from the other room to make yourself heard. A two way baby monitor can aid in bonding better with your child. You can sing lullabies or read stories as you carry out some of the other work that you may have.
Reduce the chances of a full blown tantrum – When children wake up without a caressing hand or a hug, they tend to throw a tantrum. Full blown tantrum take a long time to subdue and can get extremely unnerving for the parents. If you are able to speak to your baby as soon as he stirs, you will be able to avoid many a tantrums from exploding.
Solution to separation anxiety – It is natural for some children to experience some separation anxiety especially after weaning. Two-way baby monitors can allow you to calm your child and make him feel that you are still around.

The peace of mind that the two way baby monitor can give a parent is certainly the greatest gift any stressed out parent can have, and not to mention to freedom to do things around the house too.
