Baby Shower Smart Tech Gift Guide 2022
Tired of buying the same typical gifts for baby showers? Want to help parents save significant time and energy? Then maybe you should consider some of these smart tech gifts for the next baby shower you are attending. Technology brings convenience to our lives, so why not consider gifting some innovative smart devices that can really help when expecting a new family member.
1. Smart Baby Thermometer
Maintaining a consistent temperature for newborns is crucial as babies are not as adaptable as adults to temperature changes. A baby's normal temperature can range from about 96.8°F (36°C) to 100.3°F (37.9°C) and a temperature of 100.4°F or higher is considered to be a fever. Infants with their still-developing immune systems are vulnerable to infection, so body temperature is one of the key parameters for health monitoring.
Digital thermometers may have served their purpose already, but smart thermometers are taking temperature checks to the next level. While many smart thermometers may be a bit pricey, Kinsa QuickCare Digital Thermometer is one of the more affordable options on the market. The tip of the thermometer is flexible making the oral, rectal, and underarm temperature checks easy. Temperature results come in eight seconds or less and the free Kinsa smartphone app allows parents to store all information on their phone.
2. Smart Baby Monitor
A baby monitor is one of those new parent essentials that often tops a registry. Baby monitors allow caretakers to catch any problems that the baby may be experiencing while they are in another room. They can help keep track of the baby from a distance, and offer caretakers peace of mind.
As the name suggests, smart baby monitors do more than just watch kids. Amaryllo’s iBabi Smart won the award at CES 2022 and helps to capture every milestone of your baby’s development.. The thoughtfully designed iBabi Smart offers a long list of game-changing features such as 256-bit military-grade encryption, the ability to recognize when the baby cries or speaks, a comprehensive daily report that logs the baby’s behavior, and patented 360° auto-tracking technology.
3. Smart White Noise Machine
The last thing the parents need after the little one is finally asleep is some disruptive noise that wakes the baby. White noise machines or sound machines can be true lifesavers that transform a crib or nursery into the perfect resting environment. The effect that it has is twofold: 1. It uses sound masking to cover up the disruptive noises and 2. creates a consistent sound environment that is similar to what the baby experiences inside the womb.
Hatch Baby Rest Sound Machine is a popular choice among new parents. From the touch of the smartphone, parents have control over sound, nightlight and time-to-rise clock settings. When used properly, white noise machines can save parents and children hours of continuous undisturbed sleep. What other gift can be more thoughtful than the white noise machine?
4. Smart Change Pad and Scale:
Babies go through thousands of diapers in their first year, so having a good changing pad can really save a lot of time, hassle, and mess. Some features to look for when choosing a changing pad includes:
- The right size that fits the baby.
- Waterproof materials to help with easy clean up.
- Portability if carrying the changing pad is needed.
- Non skid, straps or belts for either securing the pad onto a surface or a busy baby.
- Last, but not least, and the most important among all is the material that is safe and comfortable for the newborn.
The award winning Hatch Baby Grow Smart Changing Pad and Scale is one of a kind. The soft foam changing pad is incredibly comfortable for the baby and doesn’t require a cover, making cleaning as easy as wiping down the surface.. The unique feature of Hatch Baby Grow is the built in wireless smart scale. It allows parents to do the regular weighing to record the baby’s overall growth, as well as weighted feed, which is a great measurement for breastfeeding mothers to know how much the baby is actually consuming. All data is recorded on the free compatible app, and graphs of all historical weights are generated for a better view of the baby’s growth development.
5. Smart Bathtub
Giving the newborn a bath can be a challenging task. While the little one is enjoying splashing during the bath time, parents are often left worrying about the many scary things about bathing a baby. Drowning and scalds are the 2 main risks for babies at bath time. Additional attention can help prevent drowning accidents and water temperature checks can minimize the risk of burning the baby’s delicate skin.
Babies have thinner skin compared to adults, so they can easily get second or third degree burns from water that is too hot. The 4mom Cleanwater™ Tub offers better water temperature control with the digital thermometer display. The red and blue lights on the display will quickly notify the parents that the water temperature is too high or too low. In addition, the design of the Cleanwater Tub is meant to fit standard kitchen sink in most households.
Taking care of a newborn can be overwhelming, so many love helping the parents-to-be stock up on essentials and the tools they need. These tech savvy baby products are invented to help parents better enjoy the time with their new family member. However, as a guest, know that you are still free to choose whatever gifts you think are best, because showing your love for the family and to help play a part in their child's life is what baby showers are all about.
