The joy of becoming a parent can rarely be compared to any other but often comes with the  worry of wellbeing of the baby, especially during the moments when a parent is not able to directly supervise the newborn. This very fear inspired the creation of baby monitors. Today’s market is saturated with varieties of systems that offer baby monitoring not just audible and visual, but tracking of baby’s temperature, movement, breathing and more. However, the majority of these tools comes at a high price of exposing babies to electromagnetic radiation.

This course will provide you with all the information you need with which to make wise choices and provide wise suggestions.
