Safety First With This Wearable Audio Baby Monitor
The Summer Infant Babble Band is the first wearable baby monitor that offers the only hands-free option to feel close to baby from anywhere in your home.
I would have so loved to have a wearable baby monitor when my kids were little. It seems so far the customer reviews are good at 4.2 out of 5.
About the Product:
TV Watching is Bad for Babies’ Brains
I know this is a hard one to figure out. Because there are products on the market just for babies… such as Einstein baby, Your baby can read, etc. that claim your baby can learn from such interaction. But I guess with all things…. moderation is the key.
Babies who watch TV are more likely to have delayed cognitive and language development. This is especially true if they’re watching programs intended for adults and older children.
Recent research showed that babies who watched 60 minutes of TV daily had developmental scores one-third lower at 14 months. This may be because when children are watching TV, they’re missing out on talking, playing, and interactions that are essential to learning and development.
According to U.S. News & World Report:
“TV watching not only isn’t educational, but it seems to stunt babies’ development … But what about ‘good’ TV, like Sesame Street? The researchers didn’t find any pluses or minuses when compared to non-educational programs”.
