subject: Baby Monitors Will Help You Know How Your Baby Is Doing When You Are Not With Them [print this page] A two way baby monitor is a huge help to parents. A baby monitor is used to check on a baby when you are not in the same room.
Sometimes all your baby needs is to hear the sound of your voice and it will be soothed back to sleep or at least a calmer state. It helps parents take back control of their daily life so they don't have the constant running back and forth.
One-way monitors are just that one way. They only transmit sounds from the baby to the parents wherever they are in the house. However a two-way baby monitor lets parents talk back to their child. In this case each unit of the monitor is both a receiver and a transmitter, like a walkie talkie.
Think about bonding and the use of your time. A two way baby monitor can definitely help the parent and child bond, despite the distance. Parents use them to sing lullabies or read stories or simply talk soothingly while they are busy doing other things.
As most parents know, babies often need the reassurance that they are safe and that can be quite demanding. That knowledge you will be "there" is often very calming for a child.
Surely the number top priority of most parents who have baby monitors is safety of their children. But a two way baby monitor can give music plus, bonding and an ability to lead a more normal life. It's not necessarily surprising many parents are opting for a two way baby monitor.
The frequency used by the devices usually lies in the range of 49-50 megahertz, though some models can go as high as 900 MHz. As with all wireless transmission systems there is the possibility that a receiver used by an unauthorized party could pick up the transmissions. To help with this, many models allow a choice of bands. A wireless baby monitor doesn't have any wire or cord attached to it.
