Smart Baby Gadgets for New Parents

Forget extravagance—this stuff is must-have! Don’t fret about your bank account—load these items on your baby registry and get ready to be wowed. These fabulous smart gadgets deliver all the extra help your mom, grandma, and dad never even dared wish for.

From health helpers to bedtime boosters, SafeWise’s smart baby registry has everything you need to raise your new baby in true 21st-century style. My babies (now grown millennials) were brought up without baby monitors, sound machines, or smart socks that could track their vital signs (dark days, indeed).

I admit I’m jealous of the conveniences afforded today’s busy parents. But I won’t hold it against you (and not just because I don’t have to change diapers!). Check out our smart baby gadget gift guide to find out all the modern marvels that make everything simpler—from remembering the last time your little one ate to finding out just how big their latest “load” was.

Nothing matters more than the health and well-being of your impending delivery. And with all the helpful (terrifying?) info available to expecting parents at the flick of a finger, it’s nice to know there are equally helpful (really, I mean it this time) gadgets out there to put your worries to rest.

We’ve picked some of the smartest gizmos out there to give you the extra peace of mind you need with a new bambino in the house. But these newfangled products for new parents don’t replace safety staples like infant car seats and babyproofing contraptions like cabinet and door locks. Make sure your registry has a healthy sprinkling of all the health and safety products you need to protect your little one.

It’s tempting to think that feeding your baby will be one of the easiest things to do, but in the sleep-deprived haze of new parenthood, nothing’s easy. Whether you’re nursing or bottle-feeding, it can be hard to remember the last time baby ate, how much they ate, and whether or not they took a turn on both sides. Send those frazzled feeding fears scurrying with these ingenious products that are designed to keep baby (and you) right on track.

We already mentioned sleep deprivation, and there’s no escaping this fact of life with a newborn. But you don’t have to become a zombie. Fortunately, new parents have been deprived of sleep since the dawn of time. “But wait—how is this fortunate?” you might be wondering.

I’m glad you asked. It’s this imposed insomnia that led brilliant minds to come up with a dizzying array of products to help soothe, settle, and trick reluctant infants into getting some shuteye. Here’s a peek at a few of our favorites (we know you’re gonna love them, too!).

• Set a border to track baby’s movements
• Get an alert if baby moves outside the border
• Tell the difference between ambient sounds and baby’s cries
• Get alerts anywhere with Wi-Fi connection

And how on earth will you be able to keep track of everything when your brain is muddled by the crazy tempo of life with a brand-new baby? Don’t worry—we’ve got you covered. Whether you knew you needed a something or not, here it is. Take a gander at these smart home devices and get ready to be blown away.
