While a gadget would be fun to help with your new-baby concerns, a bunch of your issues are simply fixed by caring for, and observing your child (aka parenting)

Also, a good deal of "training" or learning has to be done for your child to understand when it's sleep time, and when it's time to eat. Just because your baby thinks he/she is hungry, or not tired does not mean you should accommodate 100%.

It's a constant give and take. You need to care for and console an upset child, but at the same time educate them so that they are able to sleep/eat at times that benefit them overall.

Sometimes that means letting them cry in their crib, sometimes that means picking them up and rocking them back to sleep.

The kicker is eat child is different, so no gadget can help with your particular child's tendencies.

Hey wow - thanks for the awesome condescending tone! I didn't realise I had to do any parenting as you call it? Weird...I was just gonna try and gadget my way through it all.
