"Every new parent experiences moments of panic. For instance, after an unexpected four hours of blissful sleep, you might dash crib-side to make sure the baby is still breathing. \nWhile audio monitors help parents keep an ear out for newborn grunts and gurgles, a new generation of movement monitors gives parents an added source of comfort during those first few months. \nSEE ALSO: 8 Over-the-Top Baby Gadgets\n\nThese not only detect sound but motion, too (or lack of it), to ensure babies are enjoying healthful nights' sleep. And while sleep-deprived parents certainly don\u2019t need to be aware of every single movement and sound, these detectors can be set to problem-only alerts. \n1. Oma+\n\n\nImage courtesy of Levana\nOma+ by Levana is a small mobile monitor that clips onto the diaper to keep track of tiny baby movements. If it detects a lack of movement for 15 seconds, it will gently vibrate enough to rouse the baby. If three consecutive vibrations occur, Oma+ will sound an audible alarm to alert parents. The unit is powered with a low-voltage battery and uses no radiation or frequency waves, making it safe for newborns. \nPrice: $170\n2. SafeToSleep Breathing Monitor\n\nRather than a device that physically goes on the baby, the SafeToSleep Breathing Monitor is a wireless mobile system that your baby rests atop. The intuitive fiber-optic SleepMat is embedded with sensors that monitor baby\u2019s breathing, sleep cycles and sleep time.  It even generates sleep reports for an overview of your baby\u2019s general sleep patterns. All the information can be accessed with your iOS or Android device. \nPrice: $329\n3. Owlet Baby Monitor\n\n\nImage courtesy of Owlet\nFashioned as a wearable \u201CSmart Sock\u201D for baby\u2019s foot, the Owlet Monitor not only tracks movement, but also measures information like heart rate, oxygen levels and the body temperature. All the information transmits via Bluetooth to your mobile device, giving you instant access to your sleeping baby\u2019s stats in real time. \nPrice: Available for pre-order, $199\n4. Angelcare Movement and Sound Monitor \n\nSimilar to the SafeToSleep Monitor, Angelcare also offers a movement-monitoring mat that measures the motion and sounds of the sleeping baby. But unlike the previous mat, which transmits information to a smartphone, Angelcare comes with its own \"Parental Monitoring\" unit, which offers a digital display, nursery temperature gauge, night light and more. \nPrice: $75\n5. Peeko Monitor \n\n\nImage courtesy of Rest Devices\nSimilar to the Exmobaby Bio-Sensor Onesie featured in our \"Over the Top Baby Gadgets\" piece, this Peeko onesie is also in development. It's wearable monitor that measures activity level, sounds, breathing and more, via your smartphone. Customize the alerts with specific information you\u2019re interested in receiving. \nPrice: In beta \n6. BabySense Movement Monitor \n\nFor a no-frills approach to movement monitoring, the BabySense tracks baby movements through its sensor-padded mat, which you place atop the baby\u2019s mattress. The BabySense doesn\u2019t measure breathing or body stats, just movements, and will alert parents through a control unit if 20 seconds elapse without motion. \nPrice: $130\nIs wearable monitoring the wave of the future?
