How do deaf parents know their babies are crying in the middle of the night?

Answer
As the other poster said, they have device that tells them that they have a phone call, someone is at the door, or there's a fire. Usually lights flash.

A Google search of: deaf parents baby monitor

reveals that they also have vibrating pagers they wear to bed.

Answer
There are products made for deaf and hard-of-hearing parents that are baby monitors with vibration or flashing lights that go off when the baby cries. I am deaf, although only 17 and of course not yet a parent, but I know many deaf parents who use products like these and they work very well. I use a vibrating alarm clock to wake up, and my brother (he's hearing) is a really heavy sleeper, and the vibrating alarm clock is the only thing that wakes him up!
Here's a website: http://www.harriscomm.com/catalog/default.php?cPath=38_1140_44_1086
you can also look on google for more products.
This might not help for tomorrow morning, but if your hubby is a really heavy sleeper, this would be a good investment for next time you're in a situation like this. Plus, you won't always have to be the one to get out of bed!
Good luck.

What is the best baby monitor and car seat for newborn?

green thum

Answer
Car Seats:

The ones I would recomend are Britax Companion, Graco Snugride, and Graco Safeseat.

The Britax Companion is Rated #1 on Consumer reports. It is made in London and thus adhears to European standerds (they're a little bit higher then American standerds). The Car Seat can hold a child up to 22lbs or 30 inches long (whichever comes 1st). The actual carrier itself weighs about 10 lbs. The car seat has a rebound bar on it to avoid the cacooning of the child in a car accident.

The Graco Snugride is a very basic design. The carrier weighs 8 lbs and can hold a child up to 22 lbs or 29 inches long.

The Graco Safeseat just came out this year. It weighs 10 lbs but it can hold a child up to 30 lbs or 32 inches long which should get you at least through the first year (the other two will on average get you to about 9 months).

Some people like Evenflo infant car seats but I don't because I feel like the erganomic handle makes it harder to carry as the child get's heavier.


Monitor:

Avoid Fisher Price. They break a lot. I would say the Sony 900mhz 27 channel monitor. You will avoid a lot of interfearance.

Hope this info helps :-)

Has anyone tried the Fisher Price - Long Distance 900MHz Nursery Monitor?
