Abstract:
A baby blanket and baby monitoring system comprising:a blanket having a weight sensor positioned in an interior of said blanket adapted for measuring a weight of an object resting on said blanket; a control unit having a housing and a base microcontroller positioned in said housing, said weight sensor being operationally coupled to said base microcontroller; said control unit including a keyboard, said keyboard being operationally coupled to said base microcontroller for inputting desired parameter weight values for determining said pre-selected range of weight values; said control unit including a main audio alarm, said main audio alarm being operationally coupled to said base microcontroller; and wherein said base microcontroller activates said main audio alarm upon said weight sensor sensing a weight outside of said pre-selected range of weight values; a plurality of straps coupled to said housing of said control unit, each strap having a first end coupled to said housing, each strap having a first portion of a hook and loop fastener coupled to a distal end of said strap; said housing having at least one second portion of said hook and loop fastener coupled to an exterior surface of said housing, said second portion of said hook and loop fastener being complimentary to said first portion of said hook and loop fastener whereby said distal ends of said straps are selectively engageable to said housing such that said control unit is adapted for coupling to a structure.
