Having a baby can be one of the most exciting and nerve-wracking experiences of your life. One minute you’re basking in the smell of your newborn’s sweet skin and the next, you’re checking in on him in his crib every five minutes to make sure he’s safe and content. Getting things done while your baby is napping is near impossible. Luckily for us, we live in the age of technology, and one of the greatest baby gadgets to hit the markets has been the video baby monitor, making quick check-ins as simple as a glance on a screen from anywhere in the home. But, what if you could check in on your baby while you’re away at work or on a much-needed date with your partner? This is why we love Withings Home Monitoring System. It’s an all-in-one piece of comfort!

Withings Home Monitoring System vs. Traditional Baby Monitors
An all-in-one monitor, the Withings Home Monitoring System is the perfect baby monitor to add to any baby registry. In baby monitor mode, the monitor covers all of the key components a new mom looks for when purchasing a monitor that will help ease her transition and worries. Featuring two-way talk with the simple push of a button on your smart device, high definition video both day and night, a 135 degree wide angle lens that gives Mom and Dad a full view of the nursery, as well as motion and sound detection that alerts your smart device, the monitoring system has everything you need to put your little one down to rest with ease. If your little one struggles with going to sleep or you’re in need of a middle of the night night-light, the monitor also features a Lulla Light, or a customizable LED night light sequence and musical programs to help lull your little one to sleep.
While traditional baby monitors may offer some of the same features, the Withings monitor eliminates the need for extra gadgets like big, bulky monitor sets or hand-held devices that are easily misplaced. By syncing to an app on your smart device, video of your baby is always within reach and most likely, already in your hand. The video recaps and motion/sound alerts are also capabilities rarely offered with traditional baby monitors. And when your child has outgrown the need of a video monitor, use the monitoring system as a home monitoring system or pet cam while you’re away for the day.
