My youngest is 14yo now, so not a new parent but two things I really liked as reassurance measures personally.
I put a night vision web camera in the babies room and a sleep pad which detected breathing or the lack of breathing as a tool to help prevent SIDS. I've never believed in kids sleeping with the parents or sleeping in the same room beyond the first month or so (but to each their own). I also had other little things like the baby monitor etc, but the two I did that were tech focused were the sleep pad and the web camera (which today would be 1000x better than what I did before).
There are many new designs around the SIDS detectors to fill the need of like the sleep pad I used so you can check those out if you are interested in that at all. Amazon sells a bunch of different ones. One newer option is check out https://owletcare.com/ https://owletcare.com/ . I am not affiliated in anyway or have any experience but might be worth checking out.
Outside of tech. Get a good book on sleep training, you will be much happier people understanding how babies work and how sleep changes from infant to toddler and toddler to adolescent and then to teenager. It will save you lots of grief if you understand it and work with it instead of fighting it.
It is awesome to be a parent, good luck you will enjoy it!
- etxm 8y agoThanks! I’ve heard of SIDS but didn’t know there were detection devices. Also not a fan of the idea of co-sleeping. I’ll check a few out!
