If you've started thinking about must-have items for your baby, the long lists of things to buy can feel overwhelming (do you really need those bath toys right away?). One thing you'll likely have a hard time arguing against, however, is the baby monitor. Being able to check on your baby regularly from anywhere in the house is incredibly useful — it means you can do so without waking them up unnecessarily, and it offers you peace of mind. See what monitors lead the pack on Amazon.
