Baby monitor recommendations please?

Hi all. I wondered if anyone has any recommendations for a baby monitor?
Baby isn't due for a couple of months, just trying to get prepared.
They will be in with us at first of course, but I'm guessing there will be times when they're down before us so I'm thinking I'll need one right away? Please let me know if I'm wrong there and I'll hold off buying?!
We want one with a camera ideally. Not too worried about whether they have a movement sensor or not as I've heard they have a lot of false alarms?
Appreciate any recommendations or guidance though please!

Following as I’m also looking for one! X

We use the owlet which is the sock and monitor, my parents have a nooie one. We also have nooie cameras up in different rooms in the house xx

We use the momcozy one, the screen is nice and big! It can also split screen so if you wanted multiple cameras or have another baby you don’t need to have 2 monitors. Doesn’t have movement sensors.
Tells you when the rooms too hot which is nice. Also plays songs which we use if we need to wake baby after a nap or in the morning (he’s 13 months)
It’s the “momcozy BM01 5” HD baby monitor”

I love our vtech, it’s not on wifi, has a camera, only need to charge it overnight

I also have the vtech, it has heat detection, 2 way talking, plays music and white noise, you can add extra cameras for multiple rooms and most importantly for me is its not on WiFi. My friend has a WiFi camera and it was hacked.

Dehydrated over night?

My boy, 5 weeks old, has been sleeping really well through the night but woke up this morning with a dry nappy so I tickled his tummy with a wipe and he did a wee but it was not much and had the tiniest bit of urate crystals. I'll be contacting hv at 9 but does anyone have any suggestions? Should I be waking him for a night feed?
He slept 10:30pm till 5am which is great but I'm worried it's dehydrating him. Anyone had a similar experience?

What do I do

Help please

My little one is 8 and a half months old, and every single night she’s having these like 2 hour wakes in the middle of the night around 2am.. shes not crying she’s not really tired she’s just wide awake looking around trying to grab things, she’s not overly hungry although I do feed to try help settle but doesn’t normally work.

I can’t stand and rock her for two hours, I’m exhausted 🫩 should I just let her go feral for 2 hours and let her play by herself with something?

I’ve tried more/less daytime sleep, I’ve tried earlier/later bedtime just nothing seems to help, it’s not every single night but maybe 4/5 out of 7 😢

Any advice would really help

Am I in the wrong ?

So me and my partner have an on going issue.
I have got up every night and every morning with our daughter ( 2half )
He doesn't get up till 9am He gets ready and goes to work around 9:30 - 9:45 so He spends about 15 minutes with us each morning. This is my problem 🙄 He turns round to me every time I bring this up and says I'm working on the road so I need my sleep unless you want me to have an accident. I'm angry all the time about his respons as I feel it's just an excuse for not getting up and spending time with us. He doesn't get back till around 7:30 or later each night so he doesn't get to see our daughter much as she is in bed by 8 - 8:30. So He will have about half hour if that. He then decides to come to bed about 1 or later so we don't see echother much but apparently that's my fault as I go up to bed as my daughter is normally up in the night and full awake by 6am.

Am i in the wrong for addressing He doesn't spend enough time with his daughter and he should get-up earlier to spend this time with her before work 🤷‍♀️( He only has one day a week off )

Feeding

My little one is 8 weeks old and I’ve noticed she doesn’t wake up for feeds during the night now. She can go 7-8 hours without waking up, is that normal? I’ve tried to wake her up in btw to give her for a feed as I get worried she’s not drinking enough. She will sometimes take to it.

Crying

Does anyone else’s baby just cry allll the time. I feel like the only time my baby doesn’t cry is when they’re asleep! She does have reflux but is on medication for this but I just feel like unless I hold her all day she just cries it’s so exhausting

Feeling paranoid 🤯

My brother was playing with my 9 month d and was just throwing him in the air… Im paranoid that he will get brain damage or something as I googled it and it said you shouldn’t throw them in the air. It wasn’t done roughly. He was just playing with him 😩🥺
