Snuza Baby Movement Monitor

Mommy MD Guides – Recommended Product

We used a Snuza for the baby. This device fits on the baby’s diaper and detects breathing. SIDS was our biggest fear in the first 18 months. The causes of SIDS are still poorly understood, and we wanted to do everything we could to minimize our baby’s risk. Knowing that my baby was wearing a Snuza put my mind at ease, so I could get some sleep too! The Snuza is the only item we used that helped me get a decent night’s sleep. —Edna Ma, MD, a mom of a 4-year-old son and an 18-month-old daughter, an anesthesiologist, and the founder of BareEASE pre-waxing numbing kit, in Los Angeles, CA

The monitors measure the baby’s breathing through her abdominal movement. In the most recent model, PICO, it also monitors, body temperature and her position, and streams the information to your smartphone or tablet. The manufacturer offers three baby movement monitors: Snuza Go! for $99.99, Snuza Hero for $119.99, and its latest and smallest monitor, Snuza Pico for $139.99.

You can buy the monitors at Babies R Us, Buy Buy Baby, Target, and other retailers nationwide. For more information about Snuza, visit Snuza.com.
