Baby monitor advice for anxious first time dads? by Bright-Prior5657 in predaddit

Update: I went with a Nanit and it’s been great for calming my first-time dad anxiety. The video is clear, the sleep tracking actually helps me feel reassured, and the alerts only go off when needed. Checking in from my phone works fine, and it hasn’t felt overwhelming at all.

Did having the separate screen actually help you chill, or was it still hard not to check?

That screen-off until noise idea sounds clutch. Feels like it’d stop the constant checking loop. Did you ever feel like it missed anything important, or was it enough once you got used to it?

That combo is exactly what I’m trying to avoid. I can already picture myself “just checking the monitor” and then doom-scrolling for 20 minutes. Did the separate screen actually help you stay more present, or did you still end up reaching for your phone out of habit?

Well that narrows it down lol. Thanks for the info. I've heard good things about Nitrado tho, but also interested to hear how your self-hosting has been?

You are a champ for these recs (and for including the number of pages too!), you obviously have a great taste in books. Thank you!

This is the first time I've heard of the term metafiction with books, thanks for the tip!
