A baby breathing monitor can be of great benefit to parents, especially those with infants. Babies are often poorly developed and not able to regulate their body temperature, so they can quickly become too hot or cold depending on what the environment is like. Tuberculosis is one of the first things you should check for when having a baby checked by a provider. Using a baby breathing monitor will help keep your infant safe while sleeping in their crib at night. After the initial purchase, you can sign up for services such as e-mail alerts when your child has been exposed to germs or somebody else’s saliva (the most common cause of seizures in babies).
A breath monitoring device, also called a baby breathing monitor, measures the rate of the baby’s respiration. There are two types of monitors, trac-monitors and continuous oxygen monitors. The continuous oxygen monitors are more accurate for babies, so long as the breathing is not labored or shallow. The track-monitors can also be quite effective at detecting patterns of breathing that indicate risk for SIDS, especially in chesty babies with a lot of air in their lungs when they sleep. Babies should be monitored every 30 minutes while they sleep.
A baby breathing monitor can save your baby’s life. A breathing monitor does not replace a doctor’s exam or treatment for SIDS. However, it can help get you and the baby in to see the doctor by giving you quick alerts if something looks wrong.
If your baby’s breathing is either irregular or erratic, then visit a specialized pediatrician or call your doctor immediately to see whether or not there is something going wrong. If your baby is having an apnea episode (breathing stops), this event needs to be investigated.
How Does Baby Breathing Monitor Work?
A baby breathing monitor works by attaching to the baby’s back and through a wireless signal to the monitor itself. (Some monitors use a cord to connect the monitor to the baby.) The monitor includes a sensor that measures the baby’s breathing and sends a wireless signal. The monitor analyzes the signals and responds by sounding an alarm that can be heard by you or your partner. An alarm can also be set to go off if the baby’s breathing becomes irregular, unlike normal respirations.
Nutrient in food is absorbed in our body through our stomach and feeding at a correct pace. To gain weight easily, it is essential for us to take energy from food which is absorbed through mouth and stomach. However, when we are nervous or upset, stomach is not capable of taking energy and nutrients which end up undigested. This condition leads to indigestion and gas problem.
Gas is very common problem in babies. The gas formation in babies not only causes discomfort for the child, but can also cause colic for the parents and other siblings who are around the baby during colic time. Gas pain is caused by abnormal production of gas from fermentation of carbohydrates and fermentation of protein in our body. Gas pain may also be caused by swallowing air while eating/drinking, due to digestion disorder, or from inhibition of saliva secretion after sleeping with mouth open.
