Experienced postpartum support worker who sets up dependable monitoring routines and handoffs for families managing sleep training and shift work.

The best monitor is the one you forget about at 3 a.m. because it simply works within your routine.

A family juggling sleep training and shift work kept missing alerts because their app buried volume controls. We swapped to a simpler handheld unit, set a night-view preset, and wrote a two-line handoff note. Three weeks later, everyone knew the routine—and nobody wondered if the monitor would cooperate.

I prefer simple interfaces, reliable alerts, and clear night vision over experimental features.
