How to Return Json, XML and Other Response Types from a Dotvvm Application
By: Vincent Nwonah
Tags: C Sharp Programming, Dotnet Core, Aspnetcore, Dotvvm

Dotvvm Logo

Sometimes, It becomes necessary that we create an endpoint in our web application that returns some JSON, XML or other response format that isn’t html. A good example of this scenario is for health checks, we want to create an endpoint that an orchestrator like Kubernetes, can call to find out the health of the system, this endpoint will be required to return JSON formatted response to the orchestrator or health checker.

Creating view models allows us return just html, however, Dotvvm has a nice feature called Presenters which we will be using to implement the desired feature.

Dotvvm Presenters

Dotvvm presenters are a lightweight alternative to middleware that let you intercept an incoming http request at a particular URL and return a response.

Code Example

We will be working with the starter Dotvvm CRUD project that lets us create, view, edit and delete students.

Add a folder called presenters to the root of your project and add the class below to the folder

We make this class a Presenter by inheriting from the IDotvvmPresenter Interface and implementing the ProcessRequest method. I am also injecting the StudentDbContext as I want to check that the database is reachable before returning a healthy report.

You can perform any other checks in the ProcessRequest method, and return a response based on the result of these checks.

For our example, I am returning JSON, but you could return XML or plaintext.

To use this class open Startup.cs and register it in ConfigureServices with the line

services.AddTransient<HealthCheckPresenter>();

We now need to configure the endpoint our Presenter responds to. To do this, open the DotvvmStartup.cs file and add the line

config.RouteTable.Add(“Health_Endpoint”, “health”, typeof(HealthCheckPresenter));

to the ConfigureRoutes method.

Run the application now and navigate to /health and you should see the JSON response. You can now configure other services to call that endpoint to get the health, or any information you want to expose of your web app.

Conclusion

In this post we see that returning other content types with Dotvvm is pretty straightforward, reach out to me if you have any challenges.

Redis Cache in .Net Core. Hello, in this text I will write about…
By: Asiye Nur Kelle
Tags: Redis Cache, Redis, Cache, Aspnetcore, Aspnet

Hello, in this text I will be writing about Redis and answering the questions like “Why should we use it”,“How to use Redis Cache in Asp.Net Core MVC projects”

What is Redis (Remote Dictionary Service)?

Redis is an open-source,NoSQL,key value formatted database that allows us to keep data in memory. We can save and use high level data structures with Redis.

Why should we use Redis?

Unlike the other databases, Redis keeps data in memory.Redis keeps data primarily in RAM of our machine.Other than that, it can record in disc at spesific periods if you would like to do so.That way we can prevent data loss and find our data in disc when we need it.one of the biggest advantage of redis is keeping data in memory,it can reduce reading and writing time to miliseconds.

How can we use Redis Cache in our .Net Core MVC projects?

To install Redis in our computer, we should download the latest stabil version from here and start the redis-server.exe.

Then, to include Microsoft.Extensions.Caching.StackExchangeRedis package from NuGet packages from our .Net Core project.

We make additions to startup.cs and appsettings.json for configuration settings. Because redis works in port 6379 by default in our pc, we set it as shown in the bottom.

Appsettings.json

Startup.cs

Now time to use methods provided by redis. These are mainly; add,search,delete,remove and clean the cache.😊

First of all, we define these methods in an interface.The reason we use the interface is that when we want to use Microsoft Cache structure, we can implement a single interface and fill in the same methods.By this means we can avaoid code confusion.

We then implement this interface and perform the necessary configuration definitions in the class Redis.

It’s time to fill our methods with Redis 😊

Redis wants us to serialize/deserialize the data when performing these operations.

Get method

Set method

Remove method

Clear method

Contains method

Finally, we can create a controller and use Redis by passing out RedisCacheService class to this controller by using DI.

Good Works 😊
Asp.Net Core Process Hosting Types — Sagar Jaybhay
By: Sagar Jaybhay
Tags: C Sharp Programming, Net Core, Microsoft, Aspnetcore, Sagar J

Two types of Process Hosting in Asp.Net Core

To configure In-process hosting in the project you need to include this line which is below.

<AspNetCoreHostingModel>InProcess</AspNetCoreHostingModel>

Also, there is another way to set the hosting by going into project properties -> build -> web-server -> setting in the middle pane and select the hosting model.

In this CreateWebHostBuilder will call UseIIS() method and it will host the app inside the worker process( w3wp.exe) or IIS( iisexpress).

Performance point of view In-process is good than OutOfProcess hosting on the basis of higher throughput of request.

To check which hosting type you use below code.

public class Startup { // This method gets called by the runtime. Use this method to add services to the container. // For more information on how to configure your application, visit https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=398940 public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services) { } // This method gets called by the runtime. Use this method to configure the HTTP request pipeline. public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IHostingEnvironment env) { if (env.IsDevelopment()) { app.UseDeveloperExceptionPage(); } app.Run(async (context) => { await context.Response.WriteAsync(System.Diagnostics.Process.GetCurrentProcess().ProcessName); }); } }

By default, visual studio will get express as hosting but if you host site under iis then it will give process name w3wp.exe

OutOfProcess

In out of process hosting there are 2 web servers are involved which is internal and external.

Kestrel: It is an internal web-server External web servers: IIS, Nginx or Apache or Tomcat

In this Outofprocess hosting, we have performance penalty for proxying request in internal and external Webhosting.

If you remove the AspNetCoreHostingModel from .csproj file then it will take default outofprocess hosting.

Difference between In-process and OutOfProcess hosting

It is a cross-platform web server for asp.net core. It is added by default as an internal web server in asp .net core. The process which is used to host and run our application is dotnet.exe

It is actually internet-facing web-server which can take all incoming request from the internet and pass to the external web server.

For this, you need to go on a developer command prompt and then go to the project folder and type the command

Point to remember when .net core application run from CLI it uses as Kestrel server.

Why Breastfeeding in Public in America Might be a Terrible Idea
By: Brian Ford
Tags: Breastfeeding, Parenting, Parenting Toddlers, Parenting Advice, Baby

Mother breastfeeding in public

We all get hungry sometimes, and if it persists, you may end up being hangry. What do we do next? We such for an eatery to get something to eat and relieve the feeling. That’s an adult’s response to hunger.

What of babies?

They are a special lot. They throw a tantrum uncontrollably until you figure out. What might be upsetting them?

We start with a teddy bear, then head over to teething jewellery. If the crying persists, mothers have no option but to breastfeed. That includes even in public where some of you may be pissed at such a gesture.

For the love of Christ! Let the baby get fed.

This idea of breastfeeding babies in public is a topic with a hot debate in America. The American culture has brainwashed their mind to the point of believing.

The main function of women breast is for sexual escapades. This is why they constantly uproar when they hear that the same breasts go into the mouth of a baby.

American men are obsessed with sucking women breasts.

If that’s not enough, we have had many instances where mothers in the US have been ejected from premises for breastfeeding in public. In some situations, the mothers decide to file a lawsuit against the offenders.

One of the best stories is of who was eating at Applebee restaurant and decided to breastfeed her youngster. The management tried to tell her to cover up. However, instead, she handed them the Kentucky law that approved breastfeeding in public.

She was later removed from the premises, and she decides to breastfeed her son in the car. That was not the end of the squabble. She then organised a nurse-out protest in front of the restaurant and other public areas.

Should mothers give up breastfeeding in public?

Hell no…

If moms decide to give up breastfeeding in public, we may look at reduced breastfeeding rates, which may have long and short term effects to the mother and the child.

According to SummerStyles a private body that gathers health-related opinions towards breastfeeding policy, support and opinion on public breastfeeding as from 1999.

In 2015, the survey showed that at least 57.75% of individuals in the US questions suggest that they are okay if a mother breastfeeds in front of them in public while 23.13% disagreed. While 63.74% believe women should have rights to breastfeed in public. Also, 62.91% think that women should be encouraged to breastfeed in public.

Conclusion

As far as breastfeeding in public is concerned, a lot needs to be done to change the perception of rebellious few. Breastfeeding is healthy and a right. As per the 2015 statistics, the US isn’t doing that bad. The health of our babies matters a lot. Moreover, a breastfeeding baby is a healthy baby.
When Can My Baby Sleep With A Blanket? | Wriggly Toes
By: Information Wrigglytoes
Tags: Blanket, Baby

Key Points

Babies should sleep alone in their cot with no blankets or pillows until they are at least 12 months old.

There are plenty of pyjama and sleeping bag options to keep your baby cosy and warm at night.

Newborn babies should be swaddled to sleep, but only for the first two months.

Ideally, your baby should sleep in your room (but not in your bed) for at least the first six months.

Babies should be placed on their backs to sleep, and never on their side or stomach.

It’s a chilly night, and your baby is all zipped up in their one-piece footie pyjamas. You lay them in their cot and they look back at you expectantly. You think of your own cosy warm bed, complete with sheets, blankets, and a bedspread or doona and you start to feel a little guilty. Why do you get to curl up and sleep with pillows and bedding while your baby has to lie alone in a cot with just a fitted sheet?

When can baby sleep with blanket? As tempting as it may be to tuck a blanket around your baby on a cold night, babies shouldn’t have any pillows, blankets, or other covering until they are at least 12 months old. .

What We’ll Be Looking At …

This advice might sound a little confusing. Aren’t parents encouraged to swaddle their new babies to help them get to sleep? Weren’t you taught how to swaddle your baby in the hospital shortly after they were born?

Most babies love being swaddled and enjoy a better quality of sleep when they can’t startle themselves awake. Luckily, the answer to the question of when can baby sleep with blanket does not include swaddling a newborn baby.

However, it’s never okay to layer an additional blanket over the top of your swaddled baby. Additionally, keep in mind that swaddling should only be done for the first two months, after which your baby is getting ready to roll and must no longer be swaddled.

If your baby rolls over during the night, they need to have access to their hands to help them roll back onto their backs, and a tight swaddle could prevent this. Once you feel that you baby is getting ready to roll — or has already started rolling during the day — it’s important to give up the swaddling practice for their safety .

Baby Sleep Secrets
By: Pritam Pail
Tags: Family, Parenting, Love, Life, Baby

forget all the things you have been told about your baby’s sleep in the past..

Unfortunately, most information is dangerously outdated and usually reduces your baby’s chances of a calm and deep sleep.

The absolute worst you can do is to begin with a sleep training for your baby without a proven and sophisticated plan (I’m sorry to say, but that’s how most parents still do it.

No one in your home is likely getting much of it, especially during the first few months. And even once your little one is sleeping through the night, baby sleep problems can still crop up from time to time.

In short, dealing with nighttime disruptions is often simply a part of new parenthood.

Most issues related to a baby not sleeping are caused by temporary things like illness, teething, developmental milestones or changes in routine — so the occasional sleep snafu likely isn’t anything to worry about.

Still, persistent sleep problems that make it hard for your baby (and you!) to get the rest you both need could be a sign of a bigger issue.

Some babies, especially older ones, can have a hard time breaking sleep habits they’ve come to like and expect, like being rocked or fed to sleep at bedtime or when they wake up in the middle of the night.

The global baby diapers market size is expected to reach USD 64.62 billion by 2022, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The global baby diapers market is estimated to witness a CAGR of 6.2% over the forecast period. Growing awareness regarding health issues of babies and infants is the major factor driving the baby diapers market.

Emerging economies of the Asia Pacific region including China, India, and Brazil are projected to lead the global market. Regional diaper manufacturers providing affordable products with characteristics matching international standards have resulted in an increased industry competition. Growing demand for natural and hygienic products is forcing manufacturers to develop bio-based disposable diapers, which is also projected to propel market demand.

Latest technological developments, such as higher absorption levels and reduced weight of final products, have helped the overall quality to a great extent. Various R&D initiatives aimed at developing bio-degradable diapers are projected to boost the market growth over the forecast period. The industry has witnessed several partnerships and M&A activities aimed at developing technologically advanced products.

In 2016, disposable diapers emerged as the largest product segment. However, the segment may lose its share to biodegradable baby diapers due to increased awareness regarding the harmful effects of chemicals used in disposable diapers and preference toward using environment-friendly products.

A Smart Diaper Pail using Baby Stats
Tags: Baby Stats, Babytracker, Diapers, API, Baby

With companies spending millions of dollars developing smart baby products. Where is the smart diaper pail? I couldn’t find one. But, you can build your own using Flic buttons(https://flic.io) and Baby Stats (https://babystats.org).

What you need:

A diaper pail.

1 or more Flic buttons (I used 2, a white one for wet and a black one for stools).

A Baby Stats account.

Once you get your flic buttons you can start to configure them in the Flic mobile app. Click Add Flic to Phone and pair them via bluetooth.

I called mine “Wet” since I’m going to use this button to track wet diapers.

Now that I have a button setup, I need to configure what actions the button will do when they are clicked. Click the button.

Select “Click”

Go to Tools -> Then select Internet Request.

Before we actually configure the Internet Request, we’ll need to get the information from Baby Stats.

Once you login to the mobile app, or use it on Alexa, Google Assistant or Bixby you can get an ID. The ID is an auto generated username (more info on your ID https://babystats.gitbook.io/help/sharing-data). The documentation for the API isn’t pretty, but it’s thorough and has a test client on their website.

Navigate to https://babystats.org/apidocs. Click Generate Access Token, and enter your ID in the second textbox.

Click “Test Request” and make sure it comes back with the response below.

Copy everything out of the top of textbox.

{

“id”: “<YOUR ID>”,

“accessToken”: “<YOUR ACCESS TOKEN>,

“event”: “AddWet”,

“babyName” : “”,

“eventTime” : “”

}

Now we can configure Flic to make this same request when the button is pushed. Open the Internet Request section again.

Method: POST

URL: https://www.babystats.org/api/public

Body: {

“id”: “<YOUR ID>”,

“accessToken”: “<YOUR ACCESS TOKEN>,

“event”: “AddWet”,

“babyName” : “”,

“eventTime” : “”

}

“id”: “<YOUR ID>”, “accessToken”: “<YOUR ACCESS TOKEN>, “event”: “AddWet”, “babyName” : “”, “eventTime” : “” } ContentType: application/json

Click Save. Now every time you click the button it will provide Baby Stats that information and track a wet diaper. You can repeat the steps for “RemoveWet”, and set it for a Hold action. Change the drop down on the Baby Stats website to see what the body should look like for that request.

Now, you can just repeat all the steps for another button.

Finally, just remove the sticky from the back of the button and stick it where it’s an easy place to push whe changing the diaper. I put one on the pail itself but maybe it’s better on the changing table.

Now all you have to do is click the buttons to track stools and wet diapers, and it will track the stat in Baby Stats.
Finding the Perfect Crib — My Journey
By: Katelyn Baker
Tags: Cribs, Baby, Parenting

The Search

Finding the right crib was daunting from the start. As we said, it’s important to find something that your baby can feel is a safe space, while also having something that looks great in the room (it’s going to be the center piece after all).

Our search started early. This is our third, and we had a lot of luck with convertibles in the past, so that was a must for us.

There are A LOT of brands out there. A few that come to mind are Dream On Me, Babyletto, Graco, Delta… the list goes on. Some of these are 7-in-1 super high-value buys, while others are maybe just a 2-in-1, but a solid one at that. So first we looked at some of the cheaper options.

The Dream On Me Synergy 5-in-1 was the first crib we looked at. It is admittedly cheap, but maybe there was something here. The reviews were average, but again, that price tag! It’s also a 5-in-1, so we may never need to buy another bed.

We liked everything this had to offer, but we were thinking about longevity. We get what they were going for here, although our baby girl will probably keep this crib and eventually bed for a long time.

This is when we found the beauty that is Evolur’s Santa Fe. We not only fell in love with the vintage Latin vibe, but also the solid build quality. This was another crib with average ratings, but after reading what people had to say, we could absolutely live with some of the minor drawbacks (I mean come on people).

Look at this crib! Even my husband loved the look. We did briefly look at the Delta Children S Series. It is very highly rated, which is great. The Deltas are a bit more expensive than the Dream On Me; which is still about half the price of the Evolur — and the sleigh design is admittedly very cool. We did have to choose one though, and the Evolur was it.

I couldn’t be happier with our choice. When the Santa Fe arrived, it was perfect! A lot of people had issues with packaging and assembly, so my husband and I thought we were losing our Saturday morning, but we finished in less than two hours.

I think it’s worth noting that we also explored some portable cribs. Not as a permanent fixture, but we do visit grandma from time to time, and it’s nice to be able to pop something open on the go. We had really gone back and forth on this, so we figured we would at least look at what’s out there.

The two we really looked into are the Mika Micky Bedside Sleeper Easy Folding Portable Crib and the BABYBJORN Travel Crib Easy Go! They both fit slightly different needs, but at the end of the day we figured that since we got the Evolur, we could survive without an on-the-go crib.
Some fresh air (Day 26)
By: Sara Tomsic
Tags: Motherhood, Parenting, Newborn, Immune System, Baby

We’re super lucky that October in Slovenia is wonderful. Sure, you need to layer up and we make Otto snug as a bug in his stroller before we go, but fresh air is the best.

This Sunday we took our chance and got out of the apartment soon as our boy settled down a little after breakfast. The day was wonderful, sun was shining and it was warming us during the two hours we were out.

I believe fresh air is good for any child. And our boy is healthy, so fresh air during good weather conditions will definitely help build up his immune system.

The time outside did me good also. Walking is recommended for new moms during the first six weeks after labour. And after our walk, I did feel little tired.

That’s why Otto and I went for an afternoon nap after lunch. It was well deserved.

The walk was also a good time to just talk and laugh with my husband. We naturally took some pictures of the three of us on our first longer outing.

Another week has gone by and I believe we’re doing splendidly.

Their initial target customer segment includes Hong Kong millennial parents, as they leverage their exclusive partnership with Eugene Group — Hong Kong’s leading baby and children brand with 30+ years of experience across retail, publishing, advertisement — and lead organiser of the bi-annual Hong Kong Baby Expo — one of the largest exhibitions held in Hong Kong each year.

The Venture building partnership will lead WNJ Ventures to explore marketing and financing opportunities in collaboration with Elton’s team, in particular:

Financing advisory and assistance to grow and scale the FamBamHK venture

and assistance to grow and scale the FamBamHK venture User acquisition and retention (including families and service providers) on the FamBamHK marketplace

and retention (including families and service providers) on the FamBamHK marketplace Targeted marketing campaigns to solidify brand awareness for FamBamHK in the Asia-Pacific region

We look forward to working closely with the team to make a true impact to our next generation of parents and children!

Good for ME, good for WE

Good for ME, good for WE

Last week I toured MeWe Nutrition in North Kingstown, Rhode Island with one of RI’s (ok, the world’s) most innovative thinkers, Navyn Salem, where we talked strategy, inclusive leadership, and motherhood. More than delivering life-saving nutrition packets to the world’s most vulnerable, MeWe nut-butters help children avoid peanut allergies, while helping cancer patients and our elderly to fortify their bodies for strength (sorry, Ensure, this tastes waaaaay better and contains less sugar).

During the tour Navyn pointed me to a photo of a little girl in Sierra Leone who recently graduated 8th grade in the very school founded by Navyn and Andrew Kamara, my Leadership Rhode Island buddy.

“We didn’t set out to build a school, but children were gathering to learn every day by this mango tree. And so we built a space for them to learn together. And then it grew.”

Talk about a wholehearted JUST DO IT mindset of solving humanity’s biggest problems.

On factory side, Navyn employs immigrants and refugees from at least 25 countries who might otherwise have trouble finding work — and whose experiences and know-how are committed to solving big problems with a can-do spirit.

Malnutrition is preventable; MeWe is on it so fewer moms have to endure the unimaginable.

HOW YOU CAN HELP: PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD — AND THE NUT-BUTTER, so MeWe can benefit even more loved ones, whether seven months old or seventy years young.

Can Baby Wipes Change Stereotypical Views on Parental Roles?

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=WLXY3a0Gwik

If you’ve watched the link above then there were many messages sent to us as the viewers besides a reason to buy Huggies care wipes. They changed their game instead of a classic situation where the mom is taking care of the baby, the dad steps into that role. They portray the dad as a nervous parent who doesn’t know exactly what they’re doing enforcing the need for guidance when they show that Huggies care wipes has his back by doing the job. The baby wipes do such a good job that the dad feels triumphant when he changed his baby’s diaper. This ad pushes to show that the mom doesn’t always have to be a stay at home parent bringing on a cultural transmission.

This ad targets stay at home parents, from the middle class, and mostly dads, who don’t exactly know what they’re doing. Usually the mom stays home to take care of the children while the dad goes to work. The mom is never shown in the ad, but we can only assume that the roles switched. We start with a dad in the park about to change his baby’s diaper. This already enforces a cultural transmission that dads can be stay at home parents too instead of it always being the mom. His dialogue begs for the wipes to do a good job giving us the impression that most dads don’t know what they’re doing when it comes to taking care of a kid because usually they’re bringing in the household income. After the job is complete he triumphantly holds his child in the air as another dad runs by, pushing a jogging stroller, and pumps his fist in the air to congratulate the first dad. This further enforces the cultural transmission because the dad who runs by can also be assumed as a stay at home parent taking care of his baby.

This ad can send a positive view about cultural transmissions, but also a negative view on dads and how they care for children. The cultural transmission is shown when we only see dads caring for their children. The negativity is shown because of how shaky he is when changing the baby’s diaper and the need for the baby wipes to help him through it. In an enforcement of norms the mother usually is well prepared when it comes to caring for her children, but when dad is in charge things can get out of hand. However, the baby wipes make you feel like a hero because you can successfully care for your child, and when the dad running by pumps his fist in the air it’s almost saying I get what you’re going through or a we got this kind of feeling. So, in the end we can view dads as the new stay at home parent who will be well prepared with the help of Huggies care wipes.

Doritos’ “Locos” Advertising
By: George Indelli
Tags: Pregnancy, Fatherhood, Doritos, Baby

In this Doritos advertisement, there is a couple getting an ultrasound for their soon-to-be-born baby. The appointment is going as normal until the pregnant woman realizes that her husband is eating Doritos in the room during the ultrasound. In response to this, she complains to the doctor: “See what I have to deal with‽” The three then look at the monitor to see that the baby is reaching out, presumably toward the Doritos. The inquisitive husband then proceeds to wave around a Dorito to see how the baby reacts. The wife does not think it is funny and so she takes the Dorito away and throws it across the room. The three then exchange looks as they all realize what is about to happen. The screen then pans to the wife as she yells as the baby jumps out of her in an attempt to get to the Dorito. While this ad mainly serves as a fun, goofy advert, there is a cultural norm being enforced that fathers can be inept and clueless.

The target audience of this advertisement is middle-class, teen and early 20s boys that enjoy silly humor such as that seen in the advertisement and want to start a family later in life. The ad is sending the message to this demographic that Doritos can bring them fun moments such as those seen in this advertisement.

This ad, while it may seem fun-loving and harmless, actually sends a bigger message about this demographic. This ad portrays the fatherhood of this demographic in a negative light by having him eat during the ultrasound and explaining how tough it is for the wife to handle the husband. This reinforces the stereotype that all fathers are clumsy and careless and so pushes us further into the cave by showing the father in the ad as a poor stereotype and denying the demographic of new dads to be seen as responsible parents whereas the mother is seen as the only one that cares about the child.
Baby Safety Month: Why Every New Parent Needs a Video AND Breathing Monitor
By: Taylor Mariott
Tags: Parenting, Newborn, Safety, Kids, Baby

September is Baby Safety Month and there’s no better time to discuss the topic of baby monitors. What was once a luxury in nurseries is now a necessity to many as they not only give parents peace of mind but also save lives. Since the first baby monitor in 1937, the designs and capabilities have improved drastically.

Thanks to technology, baby monitors now do much more than transmitting sound one way. Capabilities range from video feeds to breathing and movement monitoring and even two-way audio transmission. Our team of writers has collectively tested various monitors over the years, including Owlet, Philips, Nanit and Infant Optics. Unanimously, their favorite has become the new Angelcare AC527. While the price tag of $199.99 may seem hefty at first, the safety and security it provides (not to mention it’s inclusive capabilities) make it worthwhile.

The AC527 Baby Breathing Monitor with Video is an all in one safety necessity. From breathing to video to movement, this monitor is able to track patterns in your child’s sleep habits thanks to the SensAsure Breathing Sensor Pad that offers precise levels of movement detection. While many competitors on the market do the same, the Angelcare goes above and beyond. The monitor will actually sound an alarm if no movement is detected after 20 seconds in order to wake the child.

Additionally, the video capability on the AC527 is second to none. The 5 inch Parent Unit touchscreen provides clear night vision and a crisp image. The nursery unit is able to capture the temperature and can be wall-mounted or placed on a dresser.

When debating which monitor is right for your family, make sure to account for how easy the program is to set up and use and the capabilities that are most important to you. Overall, the wireless Angelcare AC527 is our current favorite and easily integrates into every lifestyle.

However, if you can’t justify spending the price, here are our favorite more budget-friendly options:
