Baby Breathing Monitors

It's natural to worry about your baby's breathing habits when you leave them at bedtime. Luckily, there are a number of electronic devices which will give you peace of mind. Snuza Halo is a safety device that monitors your baby's movement during sleep, and will alert you if their breathing falls below average. Another of our products to try is Respisense, which is a portable baby breathing effort monitor. The monitor is one of the smallest currently available at only 5.5cms and weighing a minute 32g. It's ready to use straight from the box and really simple to operate.

Traditionally Baby Breathing and Movement Monitors are placed under mattresses, and require electricity with wires that could potentially be dangerous. Snuza and Respisense however clip onto your baby's nappy and silently and discreetly monitor your baby's tummy movement.

Many monitors help you listen to or see you baby during sleep, and they are usually a great source of comfort for carers who are anxious about being separated from their child. Breathing Monitors provide an even greater reassurance, as they actually measure the breath count of your child and alert you if their breathing falls below a healthy range. The monitors themselves are easy to use and attach discreetly, so your baby won’t feel a thing.

In the past, baby monitors came with a few safety hazards, as they usually had wires which attached near an infant. New breathing monitors however are incredibly safe and many don’t even require wiring at all. The models sold of ComfyBabies will alert you as soon as there is a low respiratory rate, which is detected by small sensors that touch your baby’s tummy. There are also a variety of breathing monitors that gently rouse your baby when their breathing drops, which can start a normal pattern, for example the Snuza Halo baby monitor. Based a failed attempt to begin normal breathing, the Snuza Halo will then sound an alarm.

Like video and audio monitors, baby breathing monitors come with a range of helpful functions for your baby’s bedtime. Many include a nightlight, temperature monitor and lullaby functions. Lots of breathing monitors have rechargeable batteries, which means a wall plug is not always essential, and it’s easy to transport locations. For your convenience, ComfyBabies sells these rechargeable batteries right here.
