Summary:
A small device designed to be
worn around the foot of an infant, which sends the data it gathers to an
associated mobile app. The app will monitor the baby's heart
rate oxygen levels position sleep patterns skin
temperature. Hi-tech purchases like these come with a substantial price tag
- $199 . And there are some who are concerned such manufacturers are playing on
parental paranoia."First-time parents, who are at their most obsessive
about safety, are the most susceptible to manufacturers' marketing and claims
to be 'best for your child'," Katie O'Donovan, from parenting network
Mumsnet, tells the BBC.This can lead to some expensive purchasing mistakes, she
adds.
Opinion:
In my opinion, parents do not
have to spent so much for all this extra devices. The parents can just check in
on their own or consult a doctor if needed. The parents can also seek help from
their friends who have experience. Parents are just too anxious and nervous.
This devices might also be bad for the baby.
