Does anyone know of a baby monitor that has a transmitter with battery backup?

tracykins2

The monitor we have has batteries in the recievers, but not in the transmitter, so if the power goes out, we won't know what is going on with the baby.

Answer
I use fisher price monitors they are not wxpensive and have both battery and electric in both transmitter and recievers.

7 month old baby milestones?

Q. Just out of curiosity...should my 7 month old be sitting up by himself or at least crawling by now?

Answer
From day one, your baby has maintained that special spot in your heart. But by month seven, he knows it and he intends to keep it that way. Baby will push the limits in all his activities; in fact, he's already learning how far he can go. Why is it that your childcare provider considers him an angel at lunch but he throws sweet potatoes at you at dinner? It's because baby knows that your love and acceptance (if not your patience) are endless. Keep in mind that it's good for baby to start maintaining some control over his environment, but as his parent, you need to determine how far he can go.


Milestones this month | Ready for action | Expect plenty of testing | Changing eye color



Milestones this month*
Your baby now can bear weight on his legs when you hold him upright.


He can sit without support.


Baby can stand while holding onto someone or something.


He can pull himself up to a standing position from a seated one.


Baby walks by holding on to furniture.


He babbles.


Baby plays peekaboo.


He plays patty-cake.


Baby waves good-bye.


He can say "mama" or "dada."
*All babies have their own internal developmental timetable. If your 7-month-old hasn't yet reached these milestones, rest assured that she will in time. If you have concerns about your baby's development, discuss them with her doctor.


Ready for action
As your baby cruises through his seventh month, he's more aware of how strong he is -- and how that strength can get him where he wants to go. With strength comes your baby's desire to get moving, and he'll be crawling soon.

Caution! Some parents buy baby walkers to help their little ones travel from room to room. Many doctors discourage the use of baby walkers. Too many emergency rooms have seen babies who've fallen down staircases while in a walker; walkers also can tip over or roll onto the fingers or toes of other children at home. Some doctors also believe that too much time in a walker can slow a baby's muscle development.

Expect plenty of testing

Prepare yourself for the manipulation game. Your baby has learned that a mere squawk from his mouth will send you running; the insistent lifting of his arms all but guarantees you'll sweep him off his feet. Resist the temptation. Here's how to help your baby learn to entertain himself for short periods of time:



Devote short periods of time to him all day, or see that your child-care provider does. Sit down and read him a book, play finger games with him, or help him build a tower of blocks. Let him know you're always availableñbut just for limited amounts of time.


Provide a change of atmosphere if baby starts to fuss. Place baby onto a blanket on the floor or move him to another room. (Just make sure he's not fussing because he's tired, hungry, or in need of a fresh diaper.) Monitor his surroundings periodically, occasionally replacing the few toys that are within his reach. Don't let piles of toys accumulate around him; they can overwhelm him.


If his crankiness doesn't subside, go to baby and show him how to play with a particular toy or object, but don't sit down with him or pick him up. After a brief demonstration, go back to your own tasks. And don't hesitate to tell himñin a calm, pleasant voiceñthat you need to do your work, too. Keep chatting or singing to him as you busy yourself within his earshot; return to him if he threatens to erupt but before he actually starts to scream. (You don't want him to think that this is the ultimate way to bring you back to your senses.)

Changing eye color
Sometime between 6 and 7 months, your baby's eyes may change color. Until now, they've appeared blue. The amount of pigment in the eye's iris determines the permanent color, a pigment which may not be fully developed until your baby is closer to a year old. Blue eyes still could turn brown, but brown eyes won't become blue.

My baby monitor has gone crazy!?

Manduh

I have a graco baby monitor, it has always worked great, minus the periodical static. Well this morning I woke up early to see my Husband off to work. My daughter was still asleep so I turned on the baby monitor and went down stairs to make coffee. All of a sudden I heard a crazy cry, not normal at all.. I freaked out dropped the coffee and ran up the stairs, only to find my daughter sleeping. I stood there and stared at her for a moment to see if she was going to start moving around, but she was sound asleep. As I was standing there I heard the monitor downstairs making that same noise. I picked up my daughter to bring her downstairs with me to lay down, and Immediately turned off the monitor. What could this be? I know that monitors can pick up other peoples monitor noise, but this has never happened and it was a crazy cry...I don't even know if I want to call it a cry it sounded so weird. Needless to say I am freaked out :)
What could this be, and has it ever happened to you?
I live in a town house. I know all of my neighbors though and they have no babies, all older children.
Yea my monitor picks up frequencies of other electronics as well. If it is too close to my cell or my computer speakers it goes koo koo but this was not like that. It sounded like a cry, the craziest cry I have ever heard.

Answer
Haha!! i have the same issue. i live in a townhouse and neither of my neighbors have small children or infants. randomly throughout the day and night my monitor will start to squeal and i can hear this almost horror film type cry. at first i thought it was my daughter so i would always runn upstairs only to find her sound asleep. i also have the graco monitor it has two receivers. ive moved since i bought the monitor and in my first place i would always hear a man whispering in through it and then my daughter would giggle or babble as if they were having a conversation. that is the reason i moved. it was a very old house built in 1859 so we thought a townhouse would be newer and less likely for it to happen. now all i hear are the random cries. maybe its just graco monitors.

Angelcare monitor _ False alarm?

mommyD

Hi! I am a first time (paraniod) mom>
My baby is 5 months old, we have been using the angelcare monitor with the motion sensor from birth. The last two nights the alarm went off a twice (for not picking up movement), this has NEVER happened before, i got such a fright i jumped up and screemed his name on the way to his cot. When i got there he was breathing. Now im not sure if my baby actually stopped breathing or was it a false alarm? Should i take him to the doc? has anyone else experienced this?

he sleeps on his back arms out to the sides

Answer
I have been through 3 Angel monitors for false alarms. It is SO important that the baby is DIRECTLY on top of the pad or else it can go off. Also, the sensitivity level can be turned up and down depending. Mine just beeped this morning twice because my little man scooches himself to the very top of his crib by morning. It's even scarier for us because our baby WILL NOT sleep on his back to having a serious moro reflex that wakes him unless his arms are bound beneath him. I went two months without virtually ANY sleep before I gave into sleeping him on his tummy with the Angel Monitor and a video monitor while sleeping on the floor in his room. In the directional booklet it says that false alarms are common. Mine have gone off over ten times and every times, he's breathing normally and I really don't think he stopped breathing. I feel for you though-- it is THE WORST feeling in the world.

Registeries for baby shower?

Q. Hi everyone.

Just curious as to WHEN we should start filling out registries for our baby shower. Obviously we should probably wait to find out the sex.

Also, what are some "must have" items that we MUST add?
Thanks :)

Answer
u could go ahead and start with your gender neutrals, there is so much to sift through

well, u can go to babies r us website and they have a list for ppl who are going to register..of course it has a lot of things on there that you don't need, but if you weed through you can get what you need out of it...the things i liked;found most useful, etc......

.i would def recommend:
a diaper genie 2; idk why ppl don't like them, there is NO smell in my dd 's room
changing table..will save your back, good for diap changes, clothes changes, sponge baths, etc and you have shelves to store your new baby must haves....i have canvas bins on the shelves to store things that are good to have in reach or easily available...
monitor--i like the graco imonitor, recently bought a second one for another room in the house bc i liked the other one so much, it has been working well for over 8 mos now, and it has good range, battery life, and i can hear EVERYTHING; never any interference....it works great..
boppy pillow with cotton covers, soft ones don't fit as well for some reason
lots of baby hangers, and baby hangers with clips to keep outfits together
primo euro bathtub
prince lionheart diaper depot and wipewarmer; ours works well and the wipes are still very warm when we get them to out dd's bottom; and she doesn't freak out when we are out and they aren't warmed, but seems to appreciate it when they are..
health kit: brush, comb, thermometer (not an ear one, not as accurate), nail clippers, etc.
baby meds, generic is just as good and a lot cheaper...desitin(or plain zinc oxide if you can find it)..not creamy, has less zinc ox in it....infant mylicon and tylenol
lots of diapers , make sure wherever you buy them will let you exchange them for a diff size if you need to even after the return period...brus let me do that, and buy a small pack of a couple brands to see which you prefer before you open the big boxes...wipes, lots of them, without alcohol or fragrance! we use swaddlers diapers and pampers sensitive wipes; no rashes, no reactions to their ingredients, diapers hold a lot when they have too and the netting tends to keep the wet off her bottom...
lots of baby washclothes, you may have to use them on baby's bum if it is really sensitive and gets a rash....and baby towels, but you could use your reg towels if money is an issue

swing, pref swings two ways and plugs in instead of batteries
bouncy seat
infant travel system! easy, easy, easy--we got the graco tour deluxe; it is great, folds with one hand, several seating positions, lays flat for sleep; has a big basket underneath and cup holders for mom and dad, one for baby , place for snacks for baby, and a 'pocket' up top for keys, cell phone, whatever you wanna put there...
play yard, get one with bassinet feature if you want to, easier to keep baby in your room for a while before putting them in crib in their room=we have chicco discovery and it is awesome, has more padding than most, easy to wash..machine wash, most are wipe down...very sturdy, has nightlight, vibration, etc and a flip up change table, has wooden slats that slide in under mattress for support...not that much more exp than the others and much better in my opinion
passys--she loves soothies and that is all she will take..
baby wash, again frag free, dye free
frag free , dye free laundry detergent
clothes hamper or basket
lingerie bag for socks, mittens, anything little so they don't get lost in the wash...
something to put baby toys in
extra toy links
lullaby cd and small cd player; my dd has come to love white noise, she naps with a fan and a womb bear; sleeps at night with a fan....
oh, mosquito cover for your infant carrier..it's where you can see in , baby can see out, but strangers cant just walk up and touch your baby, and they will!!!!!
all i can come up with now...LOL
diaper bags; big one for everything you may need, leave in car unless you will be somewhere a long time, and a small one to stick what you will need for a short run in so you don't have to haul the bigger one

if ffing:
avent formula dispenser; has better review than the ones made by sassy, and convert to a snack cup later...i loved it so much i bought a second one!
bottles--really liked playtex ventaire advanced when she was young, more pieces but it's easy to get them clean when the top and bottom comes off...and they vent through the bottom instead of the nip so no bubbles or foam going back up into baby's milk; they will leak if you don't put them together correctly, but we have had no probs with them and have never had to replace any parts on them..if u decide on them and have leaks, email me and i will explain how to keep them from leaking...:O)
bottle and nip brushes--i really like the ones by munchking that don't have a sponge on the end of the brush, they come in diff colors mixed with white and have a great nip brush in the handles....
drying racks--again, i really like munchkins

Angelcare Movement Baby Monitor?

The Bucket

I'm looking at baby monitors and have some questions about the Angelcare Movement Monitor...so if you have it I would really appreciate some answers! It says that the monitor can detect when your baby stops moving, but wouldn't it be going off all the time when the baby is sleeping? Or is it so sensitive that it detects breathing? And how is the picture quality/night vision picture quality? And is the zoom feature good or does it just make the picture more grainy? Do you recommend this monitor? THANKS!

Answer
I have the angel care monitor without the camera, the way it works is that it has a pad that needs to be put under the mattress, it cant be used under memory foam mattresses it has a sensitivity dial to work under diff mattress types and to detect tiny babies as well. it basically picks up babys breathing and if they have an irregular breath it alarms at 15 sec to warm you with a beep, then if the baby doesnt move again in 5 more seconds it alarms loud to wake the parent and the baby.

Mine worked a dream i followed the instructions carefully and it was brilliant as it also monitored the babys room temp and warned me if it got too hot or cold. the sound was great. we had 2 false alarms because my baby was 6lb and moved to edge of cot where monitor didnt pick up her delicate movements but at least i knew it worked.

i wouldnt have been able to sleep without it to be honest i give it 5 stars, the monitor version came out this year and has been awarded best buy so im guessing its good as well.i would highly recommend it.

need help with moniter or intercom system?

DarkAngel

is there some kind of moniter or intercom system where u can one person kind press the a button to talk but the person on the other end doesn't have to do anything

Answer
There are a few.

The Portable Intercom System on the Gadgetshack.com website

http://www.gadgetshack.com/wireless-home-intercom-system.html

Has a VOX feature that allows you to make a call, but the person answering does not have to hit the button. Keep in mind the calling end would have let go of their button so the other person can respond. It also has to be preset to VOX (voice activation).

These intercoms also have a Monitor mode which acts like a baby monitor when it hears noise, you can also interrupt that mode by calling with another intercom.

Video baby monitor with ip capabilities?

Jack

Twin baby girls on the way and my wife and I are looking for a video baby monitor. I would happily throw down some more dough if they made a video baby monitor with ip capabilities so I can watch them at work. I would buy just a good ip camera but I cant find anything that can link a wireless handset to it. If there are any solutions without having both a monitor and then a separate camera please let me know. Thanks.
The ip setup isnt the big deal. The problem is that we'd like to set up a portable monitor (as seen with regular vid baby monitors) to use around the house. The home portable monitor would be the primary use, while the ip settings will be my selfish way to still be with all three of my girls =)~... Let me know if theres means to accomplish =) thanks.

Answer
I have heard of a friend-of-friend who uses the following setup as a dog monitor (to watch the dog from home via webcam) which might work for you:

1. wireless IP camera setup to view whatever you're after,
2. create a skype account to run at home,
3. set the skype account to use the IP camera for video calls and
4. set the skype account to auto-answer incoming video calls.

he can then video-call from his own skype account at work to the dog's account and see what's going on throughout the day. and the camera can be moved to a new location without moving the computer.

the catch is, you can't operate the panning of the IP camera via skype. if you need this, perhaps something like Team Viewer might be better - it's a remote desktop app free for non-commercial use, that will let you remote in to your home computer and access the IP camera controls that way (Team Viewer is REAL easy to use).

for your case, I suppose you'd want sound as well, so seek out an IP camera with mic (if you want to hear them) or with both mic and speakers (if you want them to hear you too).

**Edit** Oh, I see what you mean - you want a portable receiver unit with a screen to relay the video to. I had a poke around and came up with not alot.

I can find wireless cameras with receivers (usually 4 cams + 1 receiver) - ie. glorified baby monitors,
and I can find a couple of iPhone apps to receive a signal from an IP Camera (see links below), but no IP Camera portable receiver.

I come from a family of 6; 2 brothers, one sister. I am originally from California, but my family moved to Layton, Utah when I was 7. I've lived in Utah ever since then, and currently live just outside of Salt Lake City, on the west side of the valley.

I have my own house which I share with two cats. I work for a large bank, in their ATM department, where I monitor the atms all day, and dispatch service when they run out of cash or break down.

I'm also a bit of a computer geek. I used to work at Cisco Tech Support in their IOS and VPN department, so I tinker arond with computers and networking as a hobby.

I enjoy audio and video production, have gone to school to be a radio announcer, but as of yet, have never held a job in that field. Back in the late 80's/early 90's, I worked for a video tape duplication company. One of our clients, for a while, were the producers of Barney The Dinosaur. It used to be my job to sit at the quality control desk every night and watch Barney videos over and over again until I was sick of them! (I don't think I've ever recovered, either.)

Should I upgrade my computer or can you give me tips?

Dylan

I've been having issues with my computer for awhile as far as gaming goes. I bought my computer strictly for gaming purposes, but I'm having issues with all of my games. V-sync is my main issue, because with it off the screen tears terribly and with it on there is very slow mouse lag. I want to call the guy who made my computer and ask him, but doesn't know much about gaming. What I need to know is if something in my computer may need an upgrade because it might be conflicting with the graphics card. Anyway I'd really like if you could answer this with detail, because I've already asked this many times and most of the answers are very unhelpful and conflicting. Computer Specs below.
Graphics: ASUS Nvdia Geforce GTX 660
Ram: 8gb DDR3 PC3-10600, DDR3 PC3-12800, DDR3 PC3-14900, DDR3 (non-ECC)
Processor: AMD A8-3870 APU with Radeon(tm) HD Graphics 2.99GHz
Motherboard: msi A7MA-G55
Monitor: 1600 x 900 60hz
Power Supply: 550W
Hard Drive: 1T
Internet Speed: 8063 Kbps / 1147 Kbps
IOS: Windows 7 Ultimate

Answer
There are several issues w/ v-sync. First off is that the higher the frame rate the better the mouse response even if that frame rate is higher than the monitors refresh rate. Once you enable v-sync the computer keep the frame rate at speeds that can be multiplied into 60 using whole numbers. That means 15, 20, 30, or 60FPS(40 might be possible to but I dont remember.. If you keep dipping below 60 you will hit the 30cap or 40 if it exists.

What you should try right away is turning off v-sync then go into the nvidia control panel and force adaptive v-sync. It will enable v-sync at 60fps but disable it when under 60fps. This will keep you from getting screwed into a 30fps speed.

There may be some tearing at low frame rates but should be minimal.

All those v-sync modes work by dropping frames so your card is doing the work of a higher frame rate but then having frames discarded to ensure it can easily be synced with the 60Hz refresh rate of your monitor.

If you are going to upgarde anything it needs to be your video card. The 660 is not an enthusiast card. Get a amd 7950 at the least or a 7970 or gtx670 or gtx680.

You can sell your current card to recoup some cash. I am a nvidia fan and at the time I bought my gtx670 it was a better performer per dollar than what AMD offered but now the tables are turned. AMD offers the best bang for the buck by far. A 7950 will eat yout card for a late night snack.

The rest of the system is great. If you have not overclocked your processor than do so now. A 20% boost should be as easy as stealing candy from a baby cat that doesn't like candy. You can certainly get more than that but surely 20% is stupid easy.

Hope this helps

------
Also in response to the Intel recommendation and hd recommendation those guys don't need to be spending anymore time in the computer section answering questions.

you already stated the issue v-sync or tearing so checking your HD is just silly. As for the Intel bit the 3rd gen i7 is the last 1155 chip so any i5 chip and board you buy now will not be able to be upgraded at all n the future.

I have a i5 3570k at 4.5GHz and a GTX670 that is overclocked to get about 20% more performance and even that struggles at 2560x1440p resolutions. At 1600x900 there would be no problems.

Also a few other things DO NOT use anti aliasing except for fxaa and txaa. MSAA is to demanding for that video card and will severally reduce frames rates. Disable motion blur as it reduces frame rates and the quality of the scene. In nvidia control panel turn on anisotropic sample optimization, set texture filtering quality to high performance, enable trilinear optimization, turn on triple buffering and set vertical sync to adaptive.

Try the game with the trilinear optimization on and off and see if you notice a difference. Also find out if your monitor can be overclocked and if so by how much. If you can get your monitor to run at 75hz that will increase your mouse performance quite a bit with vsync on. If you can hit 90 even better.

Good luck and sorry about all the idiots. You wont get a better answer than this one on this site.

what router would you recommend if I use my computer and ipad?

909_

looking for a new router...........i use a computer(desktop) and ipad

i also use netflix a lot

Answer
Pretty much any wireless router can serve your needs.

It all depends on the features you need or want on the router.

There are currently two WiFi frequencies, with 2.4 GHz being the most prevalent. Some newer devices also support the 5 GHz band.

There are various backward compatible wireless standards.
802.11b = 11 Mbps
802.11g = 54 Mbps
802.11n = 150 (300) Mbps
802.11ac = varies 500 Mbps+ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_802.11ac

If you are just using the WiFi connection for Internet access then the speed is pretty much irrelevant. Internet speed is determined by the ISP and no type of wireless or wired connection can make it faster.

Here is how it works,

A router connects two separate networks and manages the traffic between them.

In most home network applications the router connects your local group of computers and devices known as the LAN with the Internet, commonly called the WAN or Wide Area Network.

Your WAN speed is determined by your ISP and is measured in Mbps (Millions of bits per second).

For example if you pay for a 3 Mbps Internet connection, you will get 3 Mbps.

No router or connection settings will change your 3 Mbps Internet speed. This connection bandwidth is shared by your entire LAN via your router. In a shared setting with several users this can be a big problem.

For example if you have a 3 Mbps Internet connection and one user is utilizing 2.5 Mbps of the bandwidth to stream a Netflix movie that only leaves 0.5 Mbps for all of the rest of the users on the LAN.

The only real way to speed up your Internet connection is to get a faster ISP or speed tier.

As far as range goes,

Wireless signals are affected by many factors including wall density, electrical interference, directional antenna range, etc. 2.4 GHz WiFi connections also experience interference from microwave ovens and cordless phones which interfere with the 2.4 GHz band.

Dual band routers have multiple wireless radios enabling broadcast on the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands simultaneously. Using the 5 GHz band cuts down on interference from cordless phones and microwave ovens.. Not all devices can use the 5 GHz frequency. Many laptops and other devices only operate at 2.4 GHz. Thus the need for dual band routers.

Depending on the size of your house and the factors listed above, you may need one or more wireless access points or wireless range extenders to cover all areas adequately.

Just because a particular wireless router works good at one location does not guarantee that it will have similar performance in a different location due to variance in the factors listed above.

You should try to centrally locate your wireless router or gateway up high and away from dense walls and electrical and 2.4 GHz wireless interference such as microwave ovens, cordless phones, baby monitors, etc.

All of that being said,

Wireless routers are fairly inexpensive. http://www.amazon.com/s/?_encoding=UTF8&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=390957&field-keywords=wireless%20router&url=search-alias%3Daps&sprefix=wireless%20ro%2Caps%2C490&tag=excharge-20

As far as the brand goes, the brand is not as important as the model. Some manufacturers release a good model but the next is crap. I would look at the Amazon reviews of models that interest you. Even if you don't buy from Amazon the reviews will tell you a lot about which models to avoid. Look for at least 15 or more reviews with a 4 star or better rating. Read a few and see if they sound like the particular model will work for your application.

If you are interested I use a dual band Netgear router. http://isp1.us/reviews/netgear-rangemax-wndr3700/

Good Luck...

Have you ever picked up outside signals on your baby monitor such as cell phones, intercoms or other monitors?

Stan Smith

Answer
We actually pick up air traffic control on our newborn's baby monitor from a small local air strip out here where we live. Sometimes we've even picked up other babies crying from houses nearby. Just yesterday morning we listened to air traffic control guide a plane to landing and I must admit it was rather interesting :)

Can my neighbor who has a baby monitor hear my cell phone conversations and cordless home phone conversations?

Curious

I want to prevent my nosey neighbor to hear my phone conversations inside my own home. Can anyone give me some insight here? Thanks!

Answer
Digital cell phone conversations are not easily intercepted and decrypted. The police can do it, but not your neighbor. the old analog cell phone system was easily intercepted and evesdropped on, but not digital.

Cordless phones, baby monitors, walkie talkies and many other consumer devices all use the same basic frequencies and technology. They are easily and frequently accidentally intercepted., especially the cheaper analog units. You can look for the better quality digital cordless phones, especially the ones using spread spectrum technology if you want a higher level of privacy.

Are emotional bedside scenes good ratings grabbers on soap operas?

Dream Coma

Answer
Yes remember when Cassie died on Y&R? Nick and Sharon were at her bedside and when the monitor went blank it was just SO sad. Nick and Sharon losing their baby girl. When they were both crying and Cassie was just lying there not breathing it was heartbreaking. I hate Sharon and Nick but no parent should witness the pain of losing a child. So yes emotional bedside scenes are good rating grabbers in my opinion. Not only bedside scenes but cat fights get people's attention too!

help! I think my baby has acid reflux?

Natalie

I think my daughter might possibly have acid reflux. She's irritable during feedings, throws up her formula & doesn't seem to mind, when she eats she like makes a noise as if she's gulping air & formula all at once, constantly has hiccups & she sleeps for maybe 15 mins to an hour.. She's not exactly fussy, jus picky... I'm about to call to make a drs apt for her but would it be okay to put a little bit of rice cereal in her bottles until the apt...?
she'll be 2 months on the 21st.. & the nipples are slow on her bottles.. I also use the drop in bottles as well as regular ones...
oh & I jus wanna try it cuz when she spits up I dnt want her to eat & spit up her bottle then still be hungry I jus kno for acid reflux thicker formula helps to not spit up or spit up as much

Answer
My daughter was put on rice cereal at two weeks old to treat acid reflux. It immediately stopped her spit up!!! She eats 1tablespoon of cereal per oz of formula which is a lot but she has severe acid. If you want to try something else you can try soy formula which is thicker than regular. I've heard drop ins are good but I can't really say since i've never used them. I use Dr Browns which work great in my opinion and have the best ratings and reviews out of Drop ins, avent, and born free. Everyone will tell you that rice cereal isn't for small babies but your baby is older than mine and my baby does excellent on it. But It is a good idea to ask your Dr first and if you end up trying it i'd recommend to start off with 1teaspoon per oz rather than 1tablespoon. i tried apple cereal and found it caused constipation. I buy single grain oatmeal cereal. Dr says there is a lesser chance of baby being allergic to oatmeal since my sister was allergic to rice. Buy the x cut nipples and monitor her eating very closely because she won't be use to the faster flow. If nothing else works ask your Dr about zantac or prilosec. hope this helps

Answer
Yaaaa...you don't need 95% of that stuff...lol

Okay....so here is what I needed and used in the 1st week

Infant car seat
Stroller (I actually had 2...1 regular and 1 jogger..but the jogger was borrowed...I didn't need it, but was super glad I had it as it was easier to work with on hills and in the park etc)
Diaper bag
Diapers and wipes
Sleepers/onesies/socks/pants/shirts any other clothing you want/need
Crib and crib sheets
Monitor
Bassinette or playyard or cradle...whatever you want to use while baby is in your room beside your bed - i still don't own a playyard, we used a borrowed cradle and that was fine...my son is 16 months...sometimes I wish I had a playyard, but you definitely do not need one
Breast pump and storage bags
Bottles/nipples (if you are breastfeeding, you only need 1 or 2 bottles...I had 3 and never opened the 3rd bottle...I only used 1 and left 1 at my mom's house so that if she was watching him she could put frozen breastmilk in the bottle...hence the breast pump
They don't need toys for some time...they don't play with toys in the first week...but it is nice to have some car seat toys for entertainment
A play mat is very nice to have
Soothers (2 or 3)
Soother clip
Vitamin D drops
Bouncer/swing...I had both, but only needed 1..he would sleep in the swing, it was awesome!
Breast pads and cream (For sore nipples)
Burp cloths...but you can use old towels too
Infant Bathtub (very cheep...just a regular one, you don't need the ones with hoses/showers etc)
Wash cloths/towels..again you can use regular ones
Mild baby bath soap
Gripe Water (excellent for gas etc) non-alcoholic
Cornstarch (Not peneten etc for diaper rash) this works way better and is much milder on skin!

Hmmmm...that is about it!!

There are things that are nice to have...and you can totally decide and ask for those things too...but the must haves are above!

Hope this helps!

Baby registry must haves?

Do we need a baby monitor in our small apartment?

Lola H

My husband and I are in the process of registering for our first child. When the baby's born we'll be living in an approximately 1,000 sq ft apartment. Is a monitor necessary?

Answer
I would. You dont need anything fancy just a cheap one for 20 or 30 bucks. My house is about 1200sq ft and only one story but it comes in handy when you want to take a shower and baby is sleeping 3 rooms down and you cant hear over the water otherwise. It also came in handy for my husband during the nights. Even though he was only a few doors down my husband is a heavy sleeper and it helped wake him up when he was crying. Little things like that.

Do I really need a baby monitor?

Scarlett

I'm looking at what I still need to get for my baby and I'm wondering if I really need a baby monitor? We live in a single level apartment and will continue to live in apartments and I believe the only time I wouldn't be able to hear him is if I'm in the shower but I have really intense hearing for example if I hear my cat meow at night I wake up lol. I'm just wondering if its something you actually need or if its more for people who have bigger homes who maybe may not be able to hear what goes on in the house? Just looking for peoples personal experiences. Thank you!

Answer
If you are in a smallish house, and baby will always be with in range, then I wouldn't bother.
We never had one with our first in our old house, as our rooms were RIGHT next to each other, and even with the door closed, we could hear him snoring!
However, we are in a different house now and I am due in 10 weeks and I have a monitor for when I start sleeping our 2nd son in his room, as it's at the other end of the house.

Savannah monitor questions?

Dark Ryok

Ok, Ive been looking at these guys for a while. My local shop just got in two savannahs and a nile monitor. Ive already done quite a bit of research on both of them, and I believe the savannah is more my style. Im not sure if Im going to by just one, or both of them. Im going to start them in a 55 gallon. But I have the room to build a large fenced off area in my room for them.

But the main question is... To those who have savannahs, how do you like them? How do they interact between them and you?
Thanks. I wasnt sure if they were social guys or not. The research Ive done was a few weeks ago when I first thought about it. The niles looked nice, but I had already heard how mean they can get, so I already crossed them off the list.
Im used to fish. I do my research with them. Most fish I can do adequate research in about a weeks time because most fish are about the same care wise. Ive had experience with reptiles before. I had a leopard gecko and fat-tailed gecko for 6-7 years. I owned a snake for about 8 months before my dad decided he didnt want me keeping it, so I gave him to a cousin that still has him. Im not a novice in the hobby, but I still have a ways to go. I understand I need to do more research. Im just tossing the idea around and seeing what peoples opinions are on them first. Ive heard good things from a few friends at the pet store about them. And a few other friends have been around them and have nothing bad to say. If my mind is made up on getting one, Ill do my research then. I researched stuff about them quite a bit a few weeks back, but ended up getting a few more fish tanks and delayed the savannah.
With owning 7 fish tanks ranging from 20-90 gallons, I want something I can mess with. And I dont want anything common. Savannahs caught my eye months back in a Petco. Then a local store got several shipments of them in, and these guys were about 8 inches long. Thats when I started getting interested again. If The savannah falls through , Ill start a sugar gilder colony. lmao.
Seriously. I was asking about their temperament and behavior. Not care. I wanted to know how they acted. Thank you for providing me with information that I dont care about.

Answer
Well, I got my first baby savannah monitor from kingsnake.com.
I paid 60$ shipped. I do not regret paying so much money. It is a lot better to get them when they are younger, so you can control their temperment. I love my baby sav, his name is little. I got him when he was 6 inches, and now is about 14 inches. But he is growing. Savannah monitors generally have good temperments. They grow to be about 3-5 feet. They are very good monitors for starters though. You do not want to get a nile monitor, they are aggressive. And, most people cannot tame them. And not for everyone. My old nile gave pretty nasty bites for such a young monitor. When I first got my savannah, he was timid around me, and did not trust me. So, therefore, he was a biter. But after a few weeks of handling him, he turned right around! Now, out of my monitors, he is my favorite! I trust this little guy. He is has a light blue to his coloring, and has very pretty circles. I let him run around my room. I keep him in a 100 gallon tank. You want to use UTH'S (under tank heaters), never heat rocks. They can do major damage to your monitors belly. You NEVER want to buy a nile, and a savannah, and put them in the same cage together. They will fight to death. You should get the savannah. If you deciede to get two, put them in SEPERATE cages. Never the same. Feeding will get quiet expensive though. For 3 fuzzies that I feed my baby, is 7$ a bag. Which is pretty pricy.

Well I hope this info helped. But remember, think twice before getting a nile.


Look I am done VARANID. you are not worth fighting with. I have other things to do, rather than waste my time.

37w,2days Baby movement?

Amanda P

Sunday I went into labor and delivery, Monday I had my weekly check-up. Baby was perfectly fine and healthy, both visit. However, I must be in freakout mode because I do not think she is moving enough since yesterday about noon. She hasn't movement, but its not plentiful as before. Is this because she is out of room? Tired? I have never been told to count kicks/movements. How many per hour? Do you think Im just parinoid since I am so close to my due date? Please help my mind set on ease..
Thanks :) She must have been tired, cramped. As soon as I posted the question she must have woke up. She has been active since. Yesterday must have been an hour day. Thanks again : )
Thanks :) She must have been tired, cramped. As soon as I posted the question she must have woke up. She has been active since. Yesterday must have been an hour day. Thanks again : )

Answer
I'm two days past you. Went to L and D yesterday becuz the doc wanted to monitor the baby for movement. Was declared that baby is fine and must be sleeping or just quiet that day. I had been having contractions the whole night before and asked if that would have something to do with his slowing down. They said sometimes. I was discharged with kick count instructions. You should eat and drink before. Pick an hour and lay down on either side. Count for that hour and do it twice a day. You should feel atleast 10 movements in that hr. Last night we had 25 so that was good! If you have four or less in an hour. Do another hour immediatly. If you still have four or less in the second hour as well you need to call your doc immediatly. Good luck. Hope this helps and your not alone!

what is an opk ??? for trying to concieve?

De_Licious

what is an opk i think it is something you take to try and concieve a baby? is this true and what is it? and where do you get it?

Answer
"Ovulation Predictor Kit" otherwise known as an OPK.

I have to admit I buy the internet cheapie pee-sticks from ebay and I'm a big fan, they seem to be very accurate and tie in with the temperatures I take and chart on FertiltyFriend.com! You can buy them in bulk as I'm planning not to fork out for expensive Ovulation monitors unless I have to!

The pee-sticks are used just like a HPT but detect the Lutenising Hormone instead of HCG, telling you that you'll ovulate in the next 24-48 hours (time to grab DH!)

i have this friend whos pregnant, and just had an abortion 2-3 months ago...?

Beauifu

the doctors say her cervix had abnormal cells, and shes always sick; her emune? system is low, and i was wondering if this is healthy to be having a baby...is there a possibility that she could miscarry?
well, the thing is, her parents made her abort the first kid

Answer
There's always a possibility that any woman may miscarry. Your friend needs to just concentrate on getting and staying healthy, both for her baby and herself. Neither her abortion history or her present physical condition are the baby's fault. All she can do is do the best she can for this baby right now.

She can boost her immune system by walking every day, being out in the sunshine, taking a good quality prenatal vitamin, getting plenty of sleep, and eating right. Eating sugar will depress her immune system. She needs plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables.

In many cases, abnormal cervical cells will resolve themselves, especially after the baby is born and her hormones return to normal. Her doctor will most likely want to monitor her condition during and after the pregnancy. Thankfully, abnormal cells on the cervix tend to be quite slow-growing. If necessary, your friend can be induced for labor early or have an early c-section. She needs to remember that every abortion increases her risk of cervical cancer. The abortionist must force open the cervix, often causing tears and damage. In childbirth, by contrast, the cervix opens gradually and naturally. Considering the fact that she just aborted another child not long ago, she would do well to let her cervix heal until the delivery.

I hope all goes well for your friend and her baby. Here's some information about the development of your friend's baby:

what is the difference in N wireless to G wireless?

oe542

what is the difference in N wireless than G wireless?

Answer
802.11n is faster and has a longer range than the older wireless standards. This standard can also operate on the 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz spectrum (depending on the router). Running on the 5Ghz spectrum can eliminate a lot of interference caused by baby monitors, microwaves, etc... It has a theoretical speed (throughput) of 600Mbps, but in reality will be much slower, but faster than the G standard.

If your looking to purchase a new wireless router I would go for the "N" standard unless it's a lot more money. With the MIMO feature "N" has, it will give you a longer range and help speed up large file transfers.

In short, it is all around better :)

Would it be beneficial for me to get a Wireless 'N' router instead of 'G' on Comcast internet?

cassnate

Right now, I get about 15mbps if I have a wired connection to my internet. When I put my computer in the other room over wireless, it drops down to 3mbps. My computer is capable of 302.11n, so would I have a faster connection using an 'N' router? I heard that using n can possibly allow for greater distances and better connectivity.

Answer
N has a wider range comparing to G

N also capable of running on both the 2.4GHz and 5GHz radio spectrum. If possible, go with the 5GHz because of less interferences (your cordless phone,baby monitor,microwave runs on the 2.4GHz)

Also N is capable up to 100 + Mbps, while G is around 54 Mbps but i don't think your internet connection is anything close to 100 Mbps.

better connectivity has more to do with your wi-fi adapter

and also i think you mean 802.11n instead of 302.11n

Conclusion: if you have an N compatible wi-fi adapter and would like to benefit from the above, and money is not an issue (well, N router is pretty affordable nowadays). I'd say go for it

Can your neighbors listen in on your phone conversations with a baby monitor ?

Lady

If you're on your cordless phone in your home? I've heard that its possible for neighbors with baby monitors to do this to their neighbors, and I wouldn't think this would work, unless my cordless phone acts as a monitor.

Answer
It's possible if the phone and the monitors work in the same broadcast frequency.

Most do not, however. Modern cordless phones operate in the 2.4ghz wavelength, and older ones operate in the 900mhz wavelength (the newest ones operate in the 5.2ghz wavelength, but don't worry about those).

Most baby monitors work in the 300-900mhz wavelength, so a few of them *can* pick up on older cordless phones, but those that do are few and far between... especially becase every phone and monitor is coded to only pick up a very specific frequency around their specified range... so crosstalk is less likely.

Suggestions on good baby monitors?

Holly

I have a set of Fisher Price Sounds n Lights baby monitors, and their ability to pick up the tiniest sounds is great, but at random times they will just squeal extremely loud in a high pitched noise. It will even wake up my 5 week old daughter. She is a preemie, and she's only at 37 weeks now - so she's having stomach problems that hurt her, so the sleep she can get is precious for her.

Does anyone have any really good experience with a certain monitor? This is my first baby and I'm getting used to waking up to her cries - so I'd like the sensitivity of the monitors to be the same as these, I want to hear her LOUD and clear on the monitor. And the high pitches isn't due to other electronics, I just have an electronic clock in her room. Sometimes if you get close with a cell phone it'll do it - but 90% of the time it just does it randomly and loud loud loud!

Any mothers with advice, I'd appreciate it :)

Answer
I'm going to recommend the Sony Baby Call Monitor. We purchased it because it was the only one on the market that would not affect the cell phone usage in the house (and we figured they were all pretty much the same otherwise). You can get it on Amazon.com for about $30: http://www.amazon.com/NTM-910YLW-Sony-Baby-Nursery-Monitor/dp/B000S35QLC/ref=br_it_dp_o_nS_nC?ie=UTF8&colid=1WDSCNEPMTGUH&coliid=I3CN073HZ5ZDKX
It also comes in a set with two receivers.

We liked it because you can adjust the sensitivity. There's a wheel on the side to adjust the volume of your baby's cry. This way, you can get used to her waking you up without being shocked out of your own sleep. Plus, our daughter made lots of noises in her sleep that kept us awake. We were able to set the volume so we didn't hear those noises, but did hear her crying.

The only experience they have with squealing, is if you unplug the baby's monitor from the wall. It's more of an alert system, so you hear the squeal on your end when someone's messing with the other monitor.

Also, the receiver gets real staticky when the microwave is on.

Baby registry must haves?

New Mom

I'm finishing up my baby registry. As a first time mom-to-be, I'm not sure if I have everything or not. I have the basics but what are some often overlooked must haves or essentials? Thanks for your answers!

Answer
well, u can go to babies r us website and they have a list for ppl who are going to register..of course it has a lot of things on there that you don't need, but if you weed through you can get what you need out of it...the things i liked;found most useful, etc......

.i would def recommend:
a diaper genie 2; idk why ppl don't like them, there is NO smell in my dd 's room
changing table..will save your back, good for diap changes, clothes changes, sponge baths, etc and you have shelves to store your new baby must haves....i have canvas bins on the shelves to store things that are good to have in reach or easily available...
monitor--i like the graco imonitor, recently bought a second one for another room in the house bc i liked the other one so much, it has been working well for over 8 mos now, and it has good range, battery life, and i can hear EVERYTHING; never any interference....it works great..
boppy pillow with cotton covers, soft ones don't fit as well for some reason
lots of baby hangers, and baby hangers with clips to keep outfits together
primo euro bathtub
prince lionheart diaper depot and wipewarmer; ours works well and the wipes are still very warm when we get them to out dd's bottom; and she doesn't freak out when we are out and they aren't warmed, but seems to appreciate it when they are..
health kit: brush, comb, thermometer (not an ear one, not as accurate), nail clippers, etc.
baby meds, generic is just as good and a lot cheaper...desitin(or plain zinc oxide if you can find it)..not creamy, has less zinc ox in it....infant mylicon and tylenol
lots of diapers , make sure wherever you buy them will let you exchange them for a diff size if you need to even after the return period...brus let me do that, and buy a small pack of a couple brands to see which you prefer before you open the big boxes...wipes, lots of them, without alcohol or fragrance! we use swaddlers diapers and pampers sensitive wipes; no rashes, no reactions to their ingredients, diapers hold a lot when they have too and the netting tends to keep the wet off her bottom...
lots of baby washclothes, you may have to use them on baby's bum if it is really sensitive and gets a rash....and baby towels, but you could use your reg towels if money is an issue

swing, pref swings two ways and plugs in instead of batteries
bouncy seat
infant travel system! easy, easy, easy--we got the graco tour deluxe; it is great, folds with one hand, several seating positions, lays flat for sleep; has a big basket underneath and cup holders for mom and dad, one for baby , place for snacks for baby, and a 'pocket' up top for keys, cell phone, whatever you wanna put there...
play yard, get one with bassinet feature if you want to, easier to keep baby in your room for a while before putting them in crib in their room=we have chicco discovery and it is awesome, has more padding than most, easy to wash..machine wash, most are wipe down...very sturdy, has nightlight, vibration, etc and a flip up change table, has wooden slats that slide in under mattress for support...not that much more exp than the others and much better in my opinion
passys--she loves soothies and that is all she will take..
baby wash, again frag free, dye free
frag free , dye free laundry detergent
clothes hamper or basket
lingerie bag for socks, mittens, anything little so they don't get lost in the wash...
something to put baby toys in
extra toy links
lullaby cd and small cd player; my dd has come to love white noise, she naps with a fan and a womb bear; sleeps at night with a fan....
oh, mosquito cover for your infant carrier..it's where you can see in , baby can see out, but strangers cant just walk up and touch your baby, and they will!!!!!
all i can come up with now...LOL
diaper bags; big one for everything you may need, leave in car unless you will be somewhere a long time, and a small one to stick what you will need for a short run in so you don't have to haul the bigger one

if ffing:
avent formula dispenser; has better review than the ones made by sassy, and convert to a snack cup later...i loved it so much i bought a second one!
bottles--really liked playtex ventaire advanced when she was young, more pieces but it's easy to get them clean when the top and bottom comes off...and they vent through the bottom instead of the nip so no bubbles or foam going back up into baby's milk; they will leak if you don't put them together correctly, but we have had no probs with them and have never had to replace any parts on them..if u decide on them and have leaks, email me and i will explain how to keep them from leaking...:O)
bottle and nip brushes--i really like the ones by munchking that don't have a sponge on the end of the brush, they come in diff colors mixed with white and have a great nip brush in the handles....
drying racks--again, i really like munchkins...
formula mixer: i like dr brown's formula pitcher bc you don't shake it it is only abo

Why is my baby monitor thumping?

lilitaly79

I have a perfect picture on my video monitor but I keep hearing a thumping noise. I've changed the channel on the monitor and adjusted the antenna but nothing is working. When I go into the baby's room it's quiet! WTH is going on and how can I fix it?

Answer
Is the monitor near anything electrical? Mine isn't video but it thumps if my cell phone is to near it, not the bit in his room the bit I keep with me

Are there any dual camera baby monitors?

Turk II

We use a simple wireless video monitor to keep tabs on my 2 year old son while he's napping and sleeping. Eventually he'll have a little bro or sis that we'll also want to keep tabs on. Are there any baby monitors that incorporate two cameras viewable on one remote monitor?

Answer
The one from Summer does. You can put one video on A and the other on B. Then on the monitor you can switch from viewing A or B. I figured this out when my SIL came for a visit and brought her video monitor. We had my daughter on video A and her son on B.

what monitor besides a savannah is better to have as a pet?

Anna

I was just wondering, what is better a black throat monitor or a white throat? I am going to the reptile expo and their should be tons of baby monitors for sale, what would be better? I already have a savannah that is the weirdest thing, I bought a nile, and they have been living together for the past 2 years. But anyway, what would be better with temperment?

Answer
ridge tailed monitors (ackies) are the best choice for a first time varanid or tegu type "pet" hands down, nothing is as friendly or inquisitive as an ackie in the whole monitor, tegu world. no discussion on this one. forget the savannah or black/white throat you need to have some monitor/tegu keeping years under your belt before you get one of these. you will fail and they will die or be you will be overwhelmed by their care and cost , probably both. here is a link to all you you need to know to get started with ackies http://www.proexotics.com/FAQ2.html#14
as far as tegus go all are fairly easy to keep its just size and temperaments that differ ( they all get big just some bigger ); blue tegus are the smallest, have nice temperament, and can subside on an all rodent diet. argentine black and whites (aka. the chacoan or giant tegu) are the most recommended species for the beginner do to there excellent temperaments and their very, forgiving of keeper mistakes. they are also one of the largest tegu species some individuals will take some fruit as well as rodents some not . the red tegu is also one of the largest along with the argentin black and white. it also shares the same excellent temperament as the arentine black and white but it is not very forgiving of mistakes in their care at all. colombian black and white tegus(common tegu) is the least recommended they are just as easy to keep as most of the other tegus ,its their temperament that are shitty. they are down right mean! here is a link to one of the most respected tegu breeder in the world bert langerwerf at http://www.agamainternational.com/

p.s. savs. and tegus need a minimum cage size of 8 feet long by 4 feet wide by 4 feet deep, a black throat monitor minimum cage size of 12 feet by 6 feet by 6 feet. those are some big cages! and feeding is EXPENSIVE . an breeding trio of ackies on the other hand needs a minimum cage size of 4 feet long by 2 feet wide by 2 feet deep ,that is a MUCH more easy to provide cage size then the others and the feeding isnt a fraction of the cost..which one is going to be cared for properly by a monitor / tegu newbie? these animals are a whole different ball game than any other herp. besides the size thing get old fast when it comes to monitors. . go ackie!


p.p.s. i guess i didnt read the whole question cause i just noticed the sav. & nile thing. monitors ARE social animals( frank retes at the goanna ranch proved this fact) but only in same species/breeding settings ( for the most part ). i agree with william w maybe you should reconsider keeping monitors

p.p.p.s.to lizard momma. quince monitors are hot looking monitors right? dont hear about people keeping them very often . i had a pair years ago i picked up from switzer reptiles. never any good eggs from them just duds. loved looking at them though, just couldnt stand their temperaments (can you say scratch and spray). even the few C.B.B. ones ive seen have had shitty attitudes.
