Baby-friendly wearable Sproutling originally came on the scene in 2014, but was never released for purchase. Last year, the company was acquired by Mattel and products were put through rigorous quality testing to line up with the toy manufacturer’s standards. As of Wednesday, the new tool to help manage baby’s sleep is now available through Fisher-Price.

Sproutling is a small wearable device that wraps around your baby’s ankle. The sensors on the wearable can determine if your baby is asleep or awake. By utilizing machine learning, it provides real-time insights into a baby’s sleep patterns. The washable strap is soft and gentle, so it won’t irritate the baby’s skin, and the sensor is covered in soft, red silicon.

You’ll get push notifications when the baby wakes up, gets restless, or really needs attention. It’s also intended to help you gain insights into the way your baby sleeps, when he sleeps well, and if his sleeping patterns are irregular.

Few things in life are as important as knowing how well your infant is breathing during the night. While there is a slew of products that can help monitor infant breathing, few as completely contactless. The Miku Pro Smart Baby Monitor tracks a child's normal breathing patterns and uses this information to alert parents to unusual events or breaks in the pattern. These changes could indicate an oncoming cold or virus or other problem that parents need to be aware of.

It does this without any form of contact at all -- no wires, sensors, and no need to charge anything. This means your child's sleep won't be interrupted by an uncomfortable wire or ill-placed sensor. And it means you don't have to wash anything extra.

Apple Watch Series 6 vs. Samsung Galaxy Watch 3

Apple Watch 6 fitness

The Apple Watch Series 6 is here, and it shows Apple is taking an even greater focus on personal health with their best smartwatch. It introduces a new blood oxygen level sensor that can measure your O2 levels even while you sleep, as well as an always-on altimeter for the hikers among us. Combined with a brighter always-on display and quirky new watch faces, it goes one step further than the Series 5 in offering a comprehensive health-and-fitness tracker that doubles as a very usable smartwatch.

It's not the only new smartwatch in town, however. Samsung released its Galaxy Watch 3 in August, and it's every bit as good as you'd expect a smartwatch from Samsung to be. It takes a more classical watch approach to its design, while adding a nifty rotating bezel that makes using its features as effortless as possible.
