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.
