Bedtime Essentials for New Parents
Establishing a bedtime routine for your baby takes time, but you will
eventually curate a bedtime routine and environment that works best for
your family. Confidence and comfort are key, and some bedtime
essentials, like a baby monitor, will make the whole process a calmer and more enjoyable experience.
Reliable Smart Baby Monitor
Baby monitors are popular pieces of baby tech for new parents. There
will come a time when your little one is snoozing and eventually getting
a full night of sleep independently of you. Baby monitors give you a
clear visual and audio of your baby’s sleep space. A modern baby monitor
uses smart technology like a baby temperature monitor
to help you monitor the environment and sleep habits. If your baby
monitor comes with a smart sensor and ankle band, it can track your
baby’s heart rate, oxygen saturation, and skin temperature fluctuations,
helping you feel confident that your little one is comfortable, even
when you’re not by their side.
Soothing Sleep Sounds
A sound machine that plays white noise or lullabies can be very useful
for parents concerned about noise pollution in their child’s sleep
space. This sound machine may also be a source of comfort for your baby,
especially newborns who are used to a kind of whooshing noise or
heartbeat from inside the womb. Of course, a smart baby monitor with a
hub tracking environmental changes may be able to double as the soothing
sound player near your little one. It is more convenient for parents
because you have to buy one less piece of baby tech to complete the
sleep space.
Obstruction-Free Sleep Space
Every baby needs an obstruction-free space to sleep. That means no
blankets or toys until they are 12 months old and no pillow until
they’re two years old. Until then, keep the crib clear to help them
sleep comfortably. You can check a baby monitor that tracks
environmental changes to make sure the temperature and humidity levels
are in a range that suits your baby’s sleepwear and habits. Talk to your
pediatrician about this if you want more details on the developmental
stages a baby needs to meet before adding to the sleeping area.
Convenient Changing Table
Whether it’s a table or a changing mat you can unfold on the floor
beside a diaper caddy, you need a space for quick and easy changes.
Late-night diaper changes are common in the early months, so it’s always
a good idea to keep the essentials for diaper changes ready to maintain
the least amount of stimulation. Diapers, wipes, and hand sanitizers
are a great start. Ensure these items are in an area where you can get a
little light to see what you’re doing. If you have a baby monitor that
also serves as a nightlight, this can come in handy.
New
parents have a lot to juggle and think about. You might miss some things
as you prepare for your newest family members, but these bedtime
essentials will make the process comfortable so you can get through the
nights of new parenthood with confidence.
