Safe & Sound Video Baby Monitor from VTech

You know my oldest child is turning 16 in a few months. I remember bringing home that tiny little bundle and watching him sleep. I would stare at him for what seemed like forever. Once he moved into his own room, at a few months old, you would think it would mark a bit more sleep for a mama, because he was sleeping for longer periods of time, but it was actually the opposite. I was constantly getting up, going to his room to check on him. Was he breathing? Was his face pressed against anything? Was his binky in his mouth or laying near him? Was he warm enough? Was the room too cold? Basically I was a mess.

And it didn’t get better with future kids. I was the same way with each child. Willow is almost 3 and I am still checking in on her a few times before bed to make sure she is all settled. And even when I wake up at night, I need to stop in to make sure she is covered and settled. I still make my rounds on all the kids, are they settled in bed, covered, quiet, everything ok?

Recently I was sent a Safe and Sound Video Baby Monitor From VTech for review. This is going to be the perfect gift for my nephew due in a few days. We gave it the thorough test before hand, and let me say, I wish I had one of these when my kids were little. It has been wonderful even with Willow at this age.
