Do I have any friends expecting a new little bundle of joy? I know I do! Plenty of them, I'm sure. It seems that Baby Fever is in the air! First off, congratulations! There's nothing more exciting than expanding one's family by 10 adorable little fingers and toes. 

Becoming a new parent can definitely be overwhelming, especially if it's your first baby. There's so much to think about....Feeding options, baby names, finding the perfect crib and nursery decor....And of course, every new parent needs a reliable baby monitor. Trust me here. You WILL actually use one, and often! 

There are tons and tons of baby monitors on the market today. Today, I'd like to introduce you to one that's very unique: The Belly Armor by RadiaShield SmartNova Digital Baby Monitor. What sets this monitor apart from the rest? Well, it offers crisp, clear, 2-way communication, temperature readings, and more.....But with 97% LESS radiation emission than other baby monitors. 

Why should you care about exposure to radiation during pregnancy and beyond? Well, scientists agree that radiation does pose biological risks. This radiation is something we're surrounded with every single day. Cell phones, computers, and even WiFi can emit radiation that can impact the way our bodies grow. This impact is the highest for babies and children. 

Now I am not a scientist, so I am not going to try and explain this myself. For more info about the impact of radiation on the body, check out this feature on Pregnancy & Radiation. It's packed full of helpful information to help shed some light on this important topic. 

Traditional DECT baby monitors emit significant amounts of microwave radiation over extended periods of infant exposure. The new (Cordless Anti-Radiation Environment) technology in the SmartNova Baby Monitor achieves the same clear and private communication, while emitting 97% less radiation and no pulsing radiation. 

Here are the features you will enjoy when choosing the Belly Armor by RadiaShield SmartNova Baby Monitor:

• 97% less radiation than DECT

• Night light with dimmer
• Battery backup

We received a SmartNova monitor to check out for ourselves. No, we don't have babies anymore, but 4 and 5 year olds can create a lot of chaos when left to their own devices. Sometimes, an extra set of "ears" comes in handy! So yes, we still use baby monitors. This one has clued us in to some serious mischief, and has even saved one of our cats from a dip in the toilet. (Don't ask.) 

This monitor was very easy to set up, and charged rather quickly. The display is very easy to read, and will allow you to see both the temperature in the room as well as a battery life indicator. 

The range of this unit is amazing. We sleep downstairs, and the kids' rooms are upstairs, in the complete opposite end of the house. We have had no interference, and our kids can be heard loud and clear at all times. 

The battery life is also amazing. I only need to charge these units once or twice a week, tops. This is pretty impressive, if you ask me! Both the parent unit and the "child unit" offer easy to read battery indicators, so you will have plenty of warning before you need to charge them. 

My favorite feature would have to be the 2-way communication. When I hear the kids are clearly up to no good, I can catch them in the act, and speak to them through the unit. They can speak back to me, too. This is pretty awesome, since I can keep tabs on the kids no matter where I am in the house. I'm pretty sure the kiddos hate the fact that I can tell them to calm down, stop fighting, etc so easily. One day when they have kids of their own, they will understand my excitement about this feature. 

Overall, I am definitely quite impressed by the SmartNova Digital Baby Monitor by Belly Armor. The sound quality, range, and ease of use are absolutely stellar. Plus, I love the fact that these units put out far, far less radiation than other products. When it comes to our little ones, we can never be too careful, after all! If you're in the market for a great baby monitor, definitely check this one out. I think you'll be as delighted as we are!
