Having a newborn again is so much easier the third time around! I laugh at myself when I think of all the time charts I kept on Hayleys sleeping and eating patterns those first few weeks of life. By now I am just so much more relaxed as a mom, and know much more of what to expect. Of course some of the new products that have come out on the market in the meantime have made the newborn stage much easier for moms as we’ll. One of my favorites that I’ve discovered this time around is the Snuza Trio Plus.
My biggest fear as the mother of a newborn, and I know I’m not alone here, is of course the risk of SIDS. I confess SIDS is still this mysterious, ominous threat that I don’t have a great deep understanding of. Of course I know all the recommendations, placing the baby on their back and all that, but the Snuza takes all of that left over anxiety away. The Snuza products have motion sensors that detect abdominal movement while the baby sleeps, sending an alarm if it detects a lull of more than 20 seconds, (the length of time is adjustable to your comfort level). This let’s us sleep more soundly, not having to feel like we need to be human baby monitors all night long anymore. I love this product for my third kid, but can only imagine the peace of mind it would have brought me with my first!
The Snuza Trio Plus is a mobile baby video, sound, and movement monitor all in one. It is portable so you can set up the camera in one place and see the baby all over your house. If there is no movement detected, it provides a gentle vibration after 15 seconds. It is not late enough though to wake you up but enough to give you a nudge to just check on the baby if you are worried. There is a full built-in-alarm if there is no baby movement.
The digital screen is 3.5 inches and has incredible clarity. I can see great detailing when I use this camera. I like to sleep with our room very dark and I can still see everything using this monitor in dark places. I can pan/tilt/zoom with the camera to see the baby from every angle. It also always up to 4 cameras with this system.
It also features a room temperature display to tell you what temperature your child’s nursery is. This is a great feature to me as I always worry that the room is too hot or cold. Lastly, it has voice-activated sound monitoring. I can now get the total peace of mind and sleep with the Snuza. I can use this monitor from up to 300 meters outdoors and 50 meters indoors. I can freely roam the house and know she is safe using this monitor.
This would make an awesome baby gift, especially for the first time mom. The easy to use Snuza monitor clips onto your baby’s diaper and monitors audio, visual and movement of your baby. It is hard enough to get a god night’s sleep as a new mom as it is, so anything to help new mothers get more rest is worth it’s weight in gold. For me as a mother my favorite baby accessories are those like the Snuza that provide that extra piece of mind. Trust me, as a mother of three, you need all the help you can get!

It just felt SO good to be home. Being in the hospital is nice because you have nurses to help you, but they are also waking you up all night to check on you… so you get NO rest! My favorite moment bringing her home was laying her in her co-sleeper, laying in my bed and we both had a good 2 1/2 hour, uninterrupted nap!
It was the first night she was home. She was really ours! Our life had officially changed forever that night, and it felt good
My favorite thing was hearing her goo
OMG how awesome is that! My girls are 8&10 now and I sooo wish I’d had one of these. Going to the top of my baby shower list for sure
A great baby monitor is a must. We went with video with the twins and love having it!
Just that the are so tiny and cuddly. Loved holding them.
that he was finally able to hold him
Monitors have changed so much! I love this one! High quality video and voice is amazing!! I can’t wait to give mine to my sister!
Having my husband and I spend so much time looking at him and admiring his small hands, feet, fingers and toes. Being a parent is just so amazing.
I love just seeing how tiny they are and I especially love when the siblings meet the baby!
Knowing that my life had just changed for the better. I loved every part of knowing that my new role was now being a mother.
The technology has come so far since I started having kids! This looks like a great monitor, and a fabulous way to monitor your baby. I’m sure this is bringing lots of parents a good night’s sleep.
Giving him his first bath. It took me forever and I was so scared.
My favorite memory of bringing my newborn home was actually when we stopped at my stepdaughters house first. She was so happy to see her new baby sister and was thrilled that technically, her house was the first place the baby had been besides the hospital.
After being in the hospital for almost a week we were so glad to be home with our little one.
our dog was so excited he jumped into our sons bed and layed down, (we got him out of the bed) but he wanted to snuggle his new buddy
I loved just being out of the hospital with my little one, we were home.
My favorite memory is pulling in the drive and seeing my friends and family there to welcome us!
It would have to be with my second daughter, and the joy that our oldest daughter had to be able to just sit and watch her.
The newborn cuddles with their tiny body curled up on your chest. Nothing beats that.
The realization that we were in fact parents and that it was the start of our life as a family of three!
I still remember the feeling that was both awe-inspiring and terrifying, we looked at each other like we were shocked that they let us take our baby home, alone, with just US! It takes a minute, to say the least! Also my knee was injured and we had to set up the crib in the living room near the bathroom, so we had to learn to tiptoe silently all the time.
Just laying her down on our bed and inspecting her from head to toe. I couldnt believe she was ours.
My favorite memory of bringing my daughter home for the first time was walking in and sitting on the couch holding her with my husband.
My favorite memory is the joy I had each time I held her!
when I brought my son home 40yrs ago,,i was married and 18 yrs old had never changed a diaper before and neither had he,he was 20 but was of the mind frame that men didn’t change diapers,,and he never did,for this one or for when our daughter was born 10yrs later,,so when she was born I had a 10yr old and had been to Nursing school and was working at a hospital as a LPN,,I wasn’t as nervous with her as I was with him,,poor baby,had a baby taking care of him that didn’t have a clue what to do,,but I learned all by myself
Our Chihuahua not leaving my youngest daughters side after we brought her home from the hospital. She would even try to “Tuck” her in by pushing the blankets around with her nose.
the little new born cry , so tiny and cute
Walking through the front door! I thought, oh my gosh, it’s official! I’m a mom!
My favorite moment was seeing how excited my daughter was that she got to keep her new baby brother.
Watching him sleep and stretch
Just holding her and admiring her! I didn’t want to give her to anyone else!
My favorite memory is bringing my baby home and my husband and I being overjoyed with happiness.
Dressing her in a tiny little knit cardigan that was way too big!
I don’t have any children of my own yet but my best memories of my nieces are just holding them as they went to sleep.
I loved snuggling with my daughter when we got home. I was such a joy to watch her sleep but I remember getting up close to her just to make sure she was still breathing.
i do not have children but would like to get this for a baby shower!
free is good thank you
Those smiles in their sleep at first
I loved the cuddling with my babies
Seeing the smile on my mom’s face when she saw him the first time was my best memory.
My oldest baby is now 49…back then you were not allowed for anyone but the mother to handle the baby till you were both released. So seeing my hubby carrying our baby is the best memory ever!!!!
This would be so perfect for my great granddaughter
wow it’s been a looooong time since I brought home my firstborn! I could not put her down! One just wanted to hold her all the time. It was hard to share her with anyone!
being able to cuddle with my baby in my own bed and not the hospital bed.
My memory is when I could place the baby in her own room and there is the baby in her own crib.
My favorite was simply just holding him and looking into his eyes. I don’t think he hardly got put down for the entire 3 months I was on maternity leave.
I haven’t had the opportunity yet but I am anxiously waiting the day I will be able to take my baby home for the first time.
fav memory was my mother finding a snow coat in florida for my son to come home in becasue she thought it was much to cold to just wrap him up!
Hahaha! I had no real idea about babies…certainly not boy babies. One favorite memory is whipping off that little diaper like a good mama…and there went the “fountain!” Everywhere–allover the table…up the wall…me…scrambling to contain it in another diaper.
The happiness on his face.
The feeling that our family was complete (for now)!
snuggles!!!
It was summer, I remember bringing his bassinet onto the balcony and sitting and reading with my husband while the baby slept, and feeling so peaceful.
just having privacy and not having people poking me and them constantly! sheesh
seeing her smile
Seeing how unbelievably tiny and cute he looked in his massive Pack N Play. It definitely seemed unreal.
introducing her to my parents was the best!
My first child is due in December. I am super excited for all the cuddles and newborn smell.
The sweetness of my baby, being able to relax and enjoy him without the hospital atmosphere – that is my favorite memory of bring him home.
My favourite memory is looking at my baby and all his adorable expressions.
I am trying to win this for my cousin who will be having her baby soon, I do not have kids myself.
My due date is on the 14th, so I will soon find out.
Watching my daughter suck on my finger with a rubber glove on as a pacifier.
I remember I checked out my child’s fingers and toes, and he has a birthmark on his body in the same place I do. I love the smell of babies.
I have no babies of my own, but my favorite memory of my nephew was when I would just watch him sleep. It was so cute!
knowing that he was all mine!
watching her sleep
Walking through the door and knowing that I was really a mom..
My favorite memory of my newborn baby girl was just watching her lay in her boppy & I would talk to her
My favorite memory was not being able to take my eyes off of her.
watching our cats’ reactions to the new thing
I remember coming home with our daughter and just thinking how crazy-cool this was. Her she was – this little baby – that was ours to love and help grow. Just amazing! Plus her toes were just so adorable!
I remember bringing home my son on Christmas Eve night (he was born Dec. 23, 1994) and my four year daughter telling everyone that her baby was home and everyone could now have a good Christmas and it immediately brought tears to my eyes (who am I kidding, it still does LOL).
My favorite thing was hearing her goo
Having him and our dog meet!
Just holding her and admiring her!
Haven’t had the chance to bring home my baby yet. But I’m very excited to cuddle with him/her in my own furniture!
My favorite memory was walking in the door after a long 8 days at the hospital and having all our 4 older ones rush the door to see the newest baby
wonderful and scary since she was a premie
Exactly what I need. thanks for the opportunity
I have no babies yet. My sister is prego with her first.
Watching her slowly open and close her hand, staring at it…she seemed so fascinated.
My son was in the hospital for five weeks, so my favorite memory is just being ABLE to bring him home. Especially in his little bear warm up suit.
Seeing the wee smiles
Watching all my other kids admire the new little man in our family.
giving hi my mom’s lap
I remember him projectile pooping on me LOL
The FREEDOM! and Not being woken up during my naps by the nurses
I swear they do it on purpose. lol
No favourite memories as I don’t have kids.
That’s what I need!
A little scary since she was a premie at just 5lbs 2oz but also exciting that we were now a family.
Haven’t had the opportunity to bring home my baby yet, but looking forward to just settling in once he arrives!
So relieved to get out of the hospital and have her all to myself!
Bringing my daughter home from the hospital was a great and anxious feeling..we were responsible to care for this beautiful gift that was blessed to us, thank goodness I had my Mom close by because I could always go to her for help..wow that was over 32 years ago
I have a progressive neurological disease and fall frequently. The monitor would be very handy for my husband so he could monitor my activities while entertaining grandkids in other parts of the house. It watches over more than children, I imagine.
My favorite memory: seeing my newborn and my husband napping together on the couch in the middle of a feeding, they both looked so peaceful and so tired.
My daughter spent the first 17 days of her life at the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit due to medical complications as she was born prematurely. The moment we were allowed to take her home, she officially became ours and it finally felt like we were a family at long last.
Seeing the reaction of my toddler.
Being in the comfort of my own home and having her sleep on my chest while rocking her.
My favorite memory of my child would be the day we got to take him home from Children’s Hospital after he had his open heart surgery. I was so happy knowing that he was finally gonna be alright, just a bittersweet moment. Everything happened so fast and it was amazing the recovery that he made.
My favorite memory of bringing my daughter home was how small it made me feel.
my fave memory when we had our baby girl was having to stop and get off the freeway because we thought we didn’t have her properly secured in her car seat. we looked so terrified at each other, my husband and i, and when he finally did stop she was just fine. we just overreacted since she was our first baby. we will never forget that moment in time
to cuddle with the baby
favorite memory is the newborn smell
NO BABY JUST WANNA WINIT
I know this sounds crazy, but I have a parrot who will not talk when I am in the room, This monitor might help me as she IS my last “baby.”
I’m still expecting my first, but I loved snuggles with my nieces and nephews, especially rocking them to sleep!
I don’t know that I can pick a single memory. My 1st is 13 years old and I am now pregnant with my second so lots of memories are flooding back. I think my favorite memory is holding him the entire first night he was born and just watching him. I was so excited to be a mom.
The first time we cuddled at home. We were both happy to be together.
I haven’t brought my newborn home yet, but I bet it will be an amazing, scary experience!
not being as scared as i thought i would be.
My favorite memory of bringing my youngest son home was the look of disgust on my older son’s face! They were good friends growing up though!
My favorite memory was putting her in her new coming home outfit that my Mom bought for her. It was all white.
OMG, my fave memory was looking at the smile & griping your hand with those tiny fingers. Wow, snuza-tria-plus-baby-monitor is fab. & splendid. 2 fingers snap. It is tight, fly & off the chain. Thank you for the awesomeness, the contest, and generosity. edm388@gmail.com
Hospitals creep me out, we wanted to go home asap
I don’t have one yet. I am expecting in mid feburary and I am guessing that is a car trip I am never going to forget!
The touching of our skin as I nursed him for the first time at home
I’m due in February. So far it was definitely find out the sex of the baby and having her wave goodbye at the end of the ultrasound!
I remember bringing home my first born and setting them down in their carseat in the living room, sitting down, and thinking – I can’t believe they let me come home with a baby! I don’t know what I’m doing!
The first was my niece. Fabulous to simply sit and watch. So relaxing watching a baby asleep.
My favorite memory even before we got home was stopping at the Waffle House after getting from the hospital for some tasty eats (compared to hospital grub) with the family(baby in tow) and he slept the whole time and we were all happy and content.
When she took her first nap in the cradle that my sister and I had both slept in as babies. It really made things sink in that everything had come full circle.
I’m trying to conceive, so I won’t know for a while
I just remember watching my daughter’s sleep and feeling this immense love in my heart for my daughters.
My favorite memory was being able to hold them. Both of my kids were sick when they were born and didn’t get to come home until they were 6 days old.
Walking up the pathway of our home with my son and thinking this is where it all new beginnings will be made everyday as a family.
the birth of all my children are all memorable
Just the complete amazing experience of creating a new little person!
My favorite thing was just watching that sweet, innocent baby sleeping in her bed, so peaceful and sweet, the love for her just built up in my heart and I just wanted to hold on to that moment!
My favorite thing was just watching that sweet, innocent baby cuddled in my arms!
My favorite memory is just seeing his sweet face. And when he slept.
Favorite memory is watching them sleep
My favorite memory was is being able to see and cuddle my babies whenever I wanted. After all the anticipation just having them there was the most wonderful feeling.
I don’t have one.
My favorite memory would have to be dressing him for the first time. He looked so cute in those little, tiny clothes!
My favorite memory was that when I brought him home for the first time I felt like it was really real, he was mine and I was going to take care of him the best way possible.
My favorite memory was when I got home and was away from the hospital and the visitors and just got to know my daughter alone. I remember studying her tiny fingers and toes in amazement.
His smile, his big eyes kept looking around and when he was sleeping he so sweet~
The smell of a new born baby after his first bath is a smell that I will never forget
we loved holding him at home for the first time.
I remember the first time in the house with my daughter, I just sat down & rocked her to sleep!
having my baby home, surrounded by family and friends who would love her forever, was the best experience.
My favorite memory of bringing home my daughter was seeing roses everywhere that my parents had gotten for us. My girl’s middle name is Rose.
Just a moment to relax without all of the commotion everywhere, and all the time!
Getting up the first night being so happy and so scared>
We walked in the door at home and our 3 cats leaned over the carseat and started sniffing him and checking him out. It was quite funny.
When my son saw me upside down the first time
bringing her back to her new home
The best part about coming home was finally being able to get some private time with my new baby boy! Everyone was so excited that my son was born because he was the first grand baby on both sides of the family so we had everyone at the hospital and it was definitely hard to feel like I was bonding with my baby when it felt like everyone else was holding him.

first time holding my newborn nephew, very strong protective feelings and also feeling *awww, I want a baby!* lol
Our older son was in the NICU for a while, so just getting to bring him home was a huge deal for us.
My favorite memory was all the people that I love were there to pick me up from the hospital with flowers and balloons. I was pampered when I got home, just feeling all the love that was around me was amazing
The first time my husband and I had to change a diaper by ourselves was a comedy of errors…we had to tag team it!
bringing home our first baby was incredible! Watching the baby look around at this whole new world was mind blowing to me, and knowing that we made this amazingly beautiful baby!
The first day we brought our daughter home, I enjoyed seeing how our dog reacted to her, and just being amazed that we finally had her home.
Sitting in the living room with the christmas lights on, watching my husband cuddle our daughter!
With 9 grand kids this is a valuable item for me !!!
My favorite memories of both of my children were getting to know them at the beginning. All of the cute smiles, giggles and personalities right at the start.
All of the smiles, she was smiling from the moment she was born, and hasn’t stopped since!
Just watching him sleep
I have this adorable photo of my baby boy scowling like Emperor Palpatine during the drive from the hospital. As we pulled up into our driveway, I told him, “Welcome to the place you will be from.”
My favorite memory was seeing daddy so nervous to put her in the car seat for the first time. Then he fell asleep snuggling her on the couch once we were home. So cute.
It would have to be when daddy was on diaper duty and said “oh no she’s peering” “quickly followed up with ” ahhh now she’s pooping”. Every time I think of it I LOL.
How sweet her cheeks were, so pink and soft.
Bringing them home and snuggling with the whole family in our bed- priceless!
I would have to say watching him smile for the first time. It was the cutest thing ever!
for both my boys, it was the fact of being alone at home without nurses/doctors hovering…. the peacefulness of holding your baby for hte first time in your own home…. absolute bliss
I loved bringing her home to be able to cuddle and be in my own bed.
Hey hun! My favorite moment hasnt happened yet because my little glowworm isnt here yet! lol I hope that God willing, everything turns out well and that i get to have those lovely memories someday.

Being at home as a family

My favorite memory is that as my husband and I pulled into our driveway of our home for the first time with our little baby, that my mom had hung a sign outside the house that said, “Welcome Baby Boy!” Brought me to tears.
My favorite memory is with our oldest son. It was night time and there was a snow storm, so we drove very slowly. It was beautiful outside and we didn’t mind one bit because we were so happy.

I’m anxiously waiting for the day that I can bring my sweet baby joy home.

I love watching my dogs instantly love my son. They slept by his crib and sniffed anyone that tried to come near him

My first memory was how tiny she was. I was so scared to carry her because she was so fragile!
I’m about to create that very first memory when I bring home my first born in 6 weeks!
My daughter spent some time in the NICU so I will never forget actually getting to bring her home, getting to hold her without all of her machines beeping at us, or her heart monitor going off.
I remember being excited and scared. Knowing that this little person was completely dependent on me. My heart was bursting with love.
My baby girl was born at 27 weeks at 1 pnd 8 oz so it wasn’t until three months later that we got to take her home. It was scary though, we got an oxygen tank and a heart monitor that we had to take with us home and she had to drink a certain amount of milk in a fifteen minute time period to show them that she was ready to come home. She is my little miracle baby
My favorite memory is bundling up my little man in his fuzzy red sweatsuit, all full of nerves over taking him out into the cold March weather of NEPA, and him just snuggling down full of contentment and trust. We got lucky with clear skies and roads and even were able to take him to visit his great grandma.
Just the miracle of having a baby! its a wonderful experience
My favorite memory of bringing my newborn home was watching her sleep on my lap after nursing her. We are getting ready to move her out of our room into her room, so would love to have this awesome baby monitor. Thanks for the giveaway!
I remember being so happy that she was finally here, and ours. We had waited so long for our miracle.
Oh wow I was 18 and there was alot of snow on the ground so I worried the whole way home but remember everything I was happy when everyone stopped coming to see him and I just got to snuggle with him he is now almost 15 and does not let me snuggle to much.
we adopted our little girl and wow were we in love when we brought her home the first day from out of state it was a something we will never forget..
