How Baby Monitors Impact Your Baby’s Sleep

When you first get pregnant, there are so many things on your list of must haves and nice to haves. Among that list is often a baby monitor. But, would it surprise you if I said sometimes you need to just turn that thing off? No, Im not a negligent parent. Read on as we explore how baby monitors can impact your babys sleep.

Let me start by saying all families have different styles of parenting and everyone has a different size and shaped house. If you have a 500 square foot apartment, that is obviously going to be WAY different than a family with a 3,000 square foot home with 3 floors. If you have a small apartment, you most likely do NOT need a baby monitor.

Should my Baby Be Sitting Up and Rolling Over?

One of the most exciting things about being a parent is watching your baby as she grows and develops. When she hits certain milestones such as crawling or saying that first word, it sends the message to the parents that everything is moving along normally, and that they must be doing their jobs as parents correctly.

What you need to remember most about these developmental milestones of sitting up and rolling over is that, just like other milestones, each baby is going to move at his own pace. Most of the time, if your baby isnt sitting up or rolling over, it doesnt mean that theres a problem.
