With working parents and busier lives, a baby monitor is a very good investment. You can avoid it if you have family who can take care of your little one. However, if you leave them at home with a nanny, it is better to get one. Even if you have old parents who are caring for them, it makes sense to keep an eye on them in case something goes wrong and they’re unable to reach you. The baseline here is that it is a beneficial gadget for both parents and babies and well worth the investment.
