This weeks product spotlight is all about baby monitors!! Feel free to use the prompts or just type away! Links/photos welcome.
I snagged a schedule that's been used I think by a few BMBs now, but if you guys want to add/change anything let me know!!
This is a place for FTMs to ask questions about, S+TMs to share their prior experience with, and everyone to share what they're eyeing in the world of maternity, baby and postpartum products. Each week we'll spotlight a new category of product to help streamline and make it easier to look back and reference!

Re: Product Spotlight 5/22: Baby Monitors
We got ours from Home Depot and they are around $129 (which is much less than what we previously paid). We like that we can easily move it to other rooms as needed (especially during this distance learning time). You don’t have to purchase the subscription (i.e. where you can view actual recordings). We don’t need another one as the baby will share a room with my youngest but we will be purchasing the subscription for a few months after the baby is born as it keeps me mentally in check being able to go back and see when the baby moved while sleeping, etc while I’m another room.
Good idea on moving the cameras to other parts of your home @boymommatwo. DH and I were just talking the other day about how long to keep a camera in kids' rooms. My niece is almost 6 and still has hers. I'm not sure what we will do. What age did you move them out?
We only moved the one out of the room to downstairs during the distance learning while I had to work from home (my office is upstairs). My kids are going back to daycare on Monday so all cameras are back in their rooms.
