7 High-Tech Baby Monitors That Moms Swear By

One monitor that the moms we surveyed raved about is the the iBaby M6, which has a wide viewing capacity (it has a 360 degree field of vision and can tilt up and down 110 degrees) that gives parents a full peek into their baby’s room. The device even includes a music player that plays lullabies from a pre-recorded library, and allows you to record your own voice for a more personalized touch. In case you want to get your hands on the absolute latest model of the iBaby Monitor, the brand has also released an updated M7 model, ($180), that projects moonlight displays on the ceiling to help your baby get to sleep, and an M7 Lite Model, ($143), that comes with Wi-Fi speakers.

“If you have a reliable Wi-Fi connection and would like both great video and audio functionality, I like the iBaby. It’s so nice to be able to use your cell phone and have access from wherever you are. You can remotely pan, tilt and zoom, and there are varying price points available in the line.” —Stephanie Sauer Pasternak, CD(DONA), CLC, birth doula and lactation counselor

“We love the iBaby M6 video monitor, because the app allows us to view the feed on our phones from anywhere. It’s much better than using a handheld to view video, which sometimes need to be overly charged or can lose their signal.” —Ashleigh Brady, project manager
