FAQ: baby wedges and baby monitors
What is a flat head?
Today, parents are advised to have their babies sleep on their backs. As a result, the skull may flatten slightly. Nothing serious, but you can reduce this effect by changing the baby's position often.
Baby wedges
1. What is a baby wedge and what is it used for?
A baby wedge is a device designed to keep a baby in a lateral or dorsal position while sleeping. It helps prevent rollover and reduces the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). They are generally made from soft, breathable materials to ensure baby's comfort and safety.
2. At what age can a baby wedge be used?
Baby wedges can be used from birth until the baby starts to roll over on his own, generally around 4 to 6 months. It's important to keep an eye on your baby's mobility, and to remove the wedge as soon as it shows signs of rolling, to avoid any risk of injury.
3. Are baby wedges safe?
Baby wedges are designed to be safe when used correctly. Choose wedges made of breathable, non-toxic materials, and make sure they fit snugly against the crib to prevent shifting. It is also essential to follow the manufacturer's recommendations and not to use the wedge if the baby can turn over on its own.
4. How do I care for a baby wedge?
Most baby wedges have removable, machine-washable covers. It is advisable to wash them regularly with a mild detergent to maintain a hygienic environment. Also check the condition of the wedge to make sure it remains firm and shows no signs of wear.
Baby monitor or babyphone
1. What is a baby monitor and how does it work?
A baby monitor, or babyphone, is an electronic device that enables parents to monitor their baby from a distance.
It usually consists of a transmitter placed in the baby's room and a receiver that parents keep with them. Some models include video functions, motion sensors and temperature monitors.
2. What types of baby monitors are available?
There are several types of baby monitor, including:
Audio only: Allows you to hear sounds in your baby's room.
Video and audio: Includes a camera to see and hear the baby.
With sensors: Includes motion and temperature sensors for more complete monitoring.
Connected: Connects to mobile applications for monitoring via smartphone.
3. How to choose a good baby monitor?
When choosing a baby monitor, consider the following criteria:
Range: Make sure the device's range covers the distance between the baby's room and other parts of the house.
Audio/video quality: Choose a model with good sound and image quality.
Additional functions: Such as motion sensors, night vision and temperature alerts.
Security: Choose models with secure transmissions to avoid interference or intrusion.
4. Are baby monitors secure against hacking?
The safety of baby monitors depends on the model and the built-in security measures. Models with encrypted transmissions are more secure. We recommend choosing baby monitors from reputable brands, and regularly updating the firmware. For connected models, be sure to use strong passwords and secure your Wi-Fi network.
5. How do I maintain and use a baby monitor?
To maintain a baby monitor :
Clean the devices regularly with a soft, dry cloth.
Check batteries and recharge as necessary.
Update firmware if applicable.
Position the transmitter correctly for best sound/video pick-up, generally at a safe distance from the bed to avoid interference, but close enough to pick up sound.
