Are you curious about the hot debate surrounding baby physiological monitors? We get into the nuances of these devices, exploring both traditional models and advanced physiological monitors, which track your baby's heart rate, oxygen levels, and more. While they may seem like a godsend for anxious parents, we uncover some  truths, questioning if they are just heightening parental anxiety and leading to unnecessary consequences.
