Some of the monitors have:
• Built-in lullabies, classical music or various calming noises
• Night vision to prevent fumbling and squinting in the dark for late night check-ups
• Playback of the baby’s night by scrolling through the sleep timeline from the night before and much more
As you probably know by now, these systems can be quite expensive and are definitely more of a personal choice.
It’d be wise to ask her which ones might work out best in her home, so you can use that information when purchasing.
