We have this Infant Optics one. We got it for our baby shower for our first. We’ve been using it daily for a year and a half and I like it. You can add another camera and view it on the same monitor (which is what we will do for our second born).
The positives: picture is really clear and you can zoom. It apparently comes with some kind of zoom lens but I never used it. The volume is great and adjustable. It tells you the temp in the room. The camera rotates all over so it’s easy to make sure you have a good view on your LO. Also, I’ve dropped the monitor screen like a million times and it’s still totally fine - no cracks, still working 100%. Oh and it has a mount so you can hang it from the wall or have it standing on a table top.
The negatives: The battery goes wonky after a while. It will show up as being dead on the screen but it’s not. It’s an easy fix tho. You just charge it 100% and then pull the battery out for 10 seconds, then plug it back in. Or just replace the battery - I got a replacement on Amazon for like $8. Also, the microwave interferes with the signal if the monitor screen is too close (like in the same room). This doesn’t actually bother me, cuz it’s only when the microwave is running so like a minute or two. Just figured I’d mention it. One thing that did drive me crazy was the charging light. There’s a light about an inch long on the right side. It changes color based on charging status. It is bright as hell when you’re sleeping with the monitor like one foot from your face. I put a piece of black electric tape over it and problem solved. Lol
I haven't seen my doctor either, but he did tell me to get a BP monitor and keep checking myself. I bought one on amazon: https://www.amazon.ca/OMRON-Pressure-Monitor-Digital-Readings/dp/B07S2H3XB9
I know it's an extra expense but I feel like if I can't see a doctor in person, it was worth it for me to buy for piece of mind
They are pretty easy, mix vinegar, sugar, whatever you want, and cook. Blackberry and ginger are my two favorites. I also bough these on amazon, they made for some good drinks with the Seedlips: The Twisted Shrub | 5-Flavor Variety Pack | Apple Cider Vinegar Drink Mixers for Healthier Sodas & Cocktails | 8oz bottles
My favorite seedlip recipe so far has been basically a Moscow mule with fancy ginger beer and the Citrus Seedlip. They have some fun recipes on their site too.
Mine are currently growing asymmetric. My normal bra current fits on only one side and the other side is just buldging right over 😂 sooo....hoping that will even out soon...
I've been scouring the clearance rack at Fred Meyer when I'm there for groceries anyway. I've been able to find a few wirefree ones (underwire is currently my nemesis but I am a D cup normally so I do need a reasonable amount of support) for less than $10. I figure that's inexpensive enough that I won't be mad about it if/when I need to go up again. I've also been looking on Amazon, which is hard because you never really know what you're going to get without trying it, but free returns if it doesn't work out and there are a few with good reviews for $10-$15. I'm considering trying this one
Keep us posted on what you find!
