TOP TECH SUGGESTIONS

A new favorite is from Yogasleep Baby, from the creators of the original Dohm white noise machine.  They are introducing the Ohma All in One Baby Monitor, a device every parent has dreamed of.  The Ohma combines the functions of multiple nursery devices into one.  It offers customizable scheduling features to train toddlers to stay in bed until a designated wake up time.  It also uses high definition monitoring and a soothing ‘pink noise’ to help the little ones fall asleep.  Get it at Yogasleep.com or Target.com
