Read on to learn about the newest, most innovative baby monitors on the market as well as some old favorites.

Best for Data Geeks

The Mimo Breathing Monitor, which tags itself as “the smarter infant monitor," can track and record baby’s body position, activity level, respiration, skin temperature and sleep patterns. It then sends the information to your smartphone to be accessed via an app. To make all of this happen, the system comes with a set of organic cotton onesies onto which the Mimo "turtle" (sensor device) attaches. The sensor transmits information using Bluetooth Low Energy to the base, shaped like a lily pad, of course. Smart (and cute!) indeed.
