Choosing the Right Low Emissions Baby Monitor

A blog post by Brian Murphy

Constant exposure to wireless EMF is harmful not just to babies, but to adults as well. Babies are especially vulnerable because of their thinner bone structure, such as the skull. Even though non-ionizing radiation does not directly damage DNA, its long-term effects are not well understood.

Why Wireless Emissions Matter to Your Baby

Parents should exercise the highest level of caution when it comes to baby safety. Depending on where you look, there are scientific studies that have linked exposure to EMF with the development of cancer. Furthermore, there are scientific studies that indicated correlation between exposure to EMF and learning disabilities such as ADHD. Nevertheless, it is a controversial subject with stake holders making arguments on both sides.

Why Bebcare Baby Monitors are Safe

Bebcare baby monitors all utilize DSR Digital Safe Radio technology, which reduces the level of wireless emissions by the monitor. When compared to a typical DECT baby monitor, the level of emissions can be 90% lower.

When idle, Bebcare baby monitors can be configured to emit zero wireless EMF signals (for Bebcare Hear model).

Here are some resources on EMF

- W.H.O. classified wireless EMF as possibly carcinogenic to humans in 2011 (reference)

- Exposure Limits: The underestimation of absorbed cell phone radiation, especially in children (published paper)

- Mobile Phone Use, Blood Lead Levels, and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Symptoms in Children: A Longitudinal Study (published paper)

- Cell phone use in pregnancy may cause behavioral disorders in offspring (Yale.edu)

- Mother's Exposure to Electromagnetic Fields before and during Pregnancy is Associated with Risk of Speech Problems in Offspring (published paper)

- Compared with an adult male, a cell phone held against the head of a child exposes deeper brain structures to greater radiation doses per unit volume, and the young, thin skull's bone marrow absorbs a roughly 10-fold higher local dose (published paper)

- Absorption of wireless radiation in the child versus adult brain and eye from cell phone conversation or virtual reality (published paper)
