Meet the Miku Pro Smart Baby Monitor

Parents gain a whole new level of real-time peace of mind with the new, upgraded, and unique features found in the Miku Pro Smart Baby Monitor. At Miku, our mission has always been to empower parents and caregivers with greater awareness and confidence to support their child’s sleep, health, and development. Now, with the Miku Pro Smart Baby Monitor, we’ve elevated the experience with even more accuracy and reliability. There’s a whole lot more to love about this next generation monitor.

What’s included with the Miku Pro Smart Baby Monitor?

SensorFusion Technology

Our proprietary SensorFusion technology is now paired with an 8-core Qualcomm processor, so the Miku Pro Smart Baby Monitor delivers even faster, crystal clear 1080p HD video of your precious sleeping bundle. This upgrade enables you to see your baby breathing in real-time with no lag time at a whole new level of video quality.

Camera Updates: Sensor, Wider Field of View, and Pinch-to-Zoom

When it comes to baby, seeing more means everything, and with the Miku Pro Smart Baby Monitor, you can see more of your baby in three ways. First, this new smart baby monitor comes with a larger sensor that lets in more light to deliver crystal clear night video. Plus, with 140 degrees of visibility, you see more of your baby and their surroundings. And with the new pinch-to-zoom feature you can get up close to see every smile, snooze, and giggle.

Connect to 5 GHz Wi-Fi

Now, the Miku Pro is compatible with 5 GHz Wi-Fi, delivering a faster connection. Video is streamed with little to no lag time for instant reassurance. Typically, the 2.4 GHz spectrum can be crowded, which can cause connection issues when Wi-Fi performance is low. It’s important to note, however, even though 5 GHz has a faster connection, it will have a shorter range than 2.4 GHz. So, when you’re further away from a Wi-Fi monitor, we suggest still considering the 2.4 GHz connection.

Adjust the LED Light

Want to increase or decrease the LED light on your Miku? Now you can. The Miku Pro Smart Baby Monitor offers the ability to easily adjust the LED button brightness through the Miku app using a slider control.

Nursery & Surrounding Environment Conditions

Miku Pro's digital light sensor can do more than just tell the camera to switch to night vision mode. The Miku Pro Smart Baby Monitor measures the temperature, humidity, sound, and light in its surroundings, capturing data translated by analytics to provide a comprehensive picture of how the environment in the room is affecting your baby's sleep.

This is Modern Parenting: The Two Features We Continue to Love

Nothing to Wear

Life as a parent is busy; there’s no denying that. We know how important it is that your essential parenting tools to care for your little one fit seamlessly into both your lives. That’s why it remained important to us that the Miku Pro Smart Baby Monitor was contact-free, which means there are still no wires, wearables, or anything to wash. Miku’s technology works with any swaddle, outfit, or bed. There’s nothing to charge or anything your baby must wear. Once you set up your Miku Pro, it’s set it and forget it. Everything from here on out is done via your smartphone device.

Grows With Your Child

Because the Miku Pro Smart Baby Monitor works without any need for wires or wearables, you can keep tracking their breathing and sleep patterns even after they graduate from the crib life.

Babies spend up to 70% of their time sleeping. As a parent—whether it’s your first or third child—you might be unable to resist the urge to watch over your child round-the-clock, especially while they’re asleep.

But monitoring your baby while they’re asleep goes beyond staring at that cute little face and keeping a watchful eye. Today’s smart monitors go beyond just audio and video monitoring. 

The truth is that children need lots of sleep. The National Sleep Foundation recommends that newborns sleep for 14 and 17 hours, infants for 12 and 15 hours, and toddlers for 11 and 14 hours per day. Children who don’t get enough sleep may be prone to poor physical and mental health. 

Unfortunately, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), one-third of children between 4 months and 17 years don’t get enough sleep. 

Let’s dive into why monitoring your child’s sleep and breathing trends is so important.

Why do sleep and breathing trends matter in children?

Your child’s sleep and breathing patterns say a lot about their health and wellbeing. 

Healthy sleep hygiene is indispensable to a growing child, supporting proper physical and mental development. 

Children who sleep well feel refreshed when they’re awake. Sleep helps with learning, memory, creative thinking, emotion regulation, and language formation. On the flip side, poor sleep is tied to thinking, behavioral, emotional, and physical health problems, which can have a lasting impact on their wellbeing. 

If you don’t monitor your child’s sleep, you might only know if they’re sleep deprived through daytime signs. When babies and toddlers don’t sleep well, they may:

  • Act clingy
  • Throw tantrums
  • Look tired
  • Cry a lot
  • Yawn excessively
  • Rub their eyes
  • Have no interest in playing 

Generally, children who lack sleep show signs like: 

  • Difficulty getting up in the morning
  • Poor attention
  • Restlessness
  • Dark eye circles
  • Mood swings
  • Impulsiveness
  • Aggression
  • Irritability
  • Problems concentrating
  • Tiredness

Your child’s breathing pattern matters as much as their sleep health. Children breathe faster than adults. The average respiratory rate, which is the number of breaths per minute in newborns, is about 40 to 60 breaths per minute while awake and about 30 to 40 breaths per minute while asleep. If your child’s breathing is outside the typical range, it might indicate a general wellness change like stress from a change in sleeping conditions or potentially respiratory problems like bronchiolitis or asthma. Your child’s breathing may also be unusual when they have a fever or are generally unwell. 

When you’re aware of your child’s sleeping habits and breathing patterns, you can tell when something changes or variates from their trends and determine when you need to speak with your provider. The first signs that your child is unwell or that there has been a disruption to their routine might appear in how they’ve been sleeping and breathing.

What to do if your child’s sleep and breathing trends indicate a problem

If you monitor your child’s sleep and breathing, and the trends show there has been a change in their usual sleeping and breathing patterns, consider paying attention to how your child is doing. Have there been any other changes in their overall wellbeing? With this information you may choose to speak with your provider to gain a greater understanding of what’s going on.

If you notice your child’s sleep quality has been poor for an extended period of time, it maybe be helpful to revisit some sleep hygiene practices like:

  • Create a consistent bedtime schedule: A bedtime schedule can prime your child for sleep at the appropriate time. Ensure you prepare your child for sleep at fixed times every day; before you know it, they fall asleep quickly once it’s bedtime. 
  • Make their room a sleep haven: Keep your child’s room conducive to relaxation and sleep by keeping it cool, dark, quiet, and tidy. 
  • Teach your child to fall asleep on their own: Research suggests that babies who can’t fall asleep on their own or require rocking or patting to fall asleep may be prone to waking up at night. Train them to sleep independently by putting them to bed when they’re still awake but are starting to doze off. 
  • Keep electronic devices outside the room: Electronic gadgets like TVs, tablets, or phones can stimulate your child and keep them alert even when it’s bedtime. Keep these gadgets out of their room to limit their screen time in the evenings and keep them from distracting themselves with it when they should be winding down. 
  • Create a bedtime routine: Your child can get used to falling asleep at a specific time when they have a routine that preps them for bedtime. This routine might involve turning off the tv or tablet about an hour before bedtime, giving them a warm bath, brushing their teeth, putting them in their pajamas, reading them a bedtime story, and singing lullabies until they fall asleep. 
  • Adjust daily habits: Spend time outdoors with your child. Play fun outdoor games, exercise, take walks, etc., to ensure they get their daily sunlight to keep them awake and alert during the day so their mind is ready to recover and rest at night.

Along the way, remember: healthy sleep is a lifelong journey. Changes may not immediately occur, and that’s ok! It will be a gradual process, and like a newborn sleep regression, you may find yourself wondering ‘What is going on!’. Be gentle with yourself and mindful of the pressures you put on your child, your family, and you too!

Finally, you know your child best. No monitoring device is a substitute for your own best judgment and care. If you feel that something is off, always speak with your provider or a qualified professional.

Care+ is a new wellness tool from Miku to help you stay aware of important changes in your little one’s sleep and breathing patterns over time using trend graphs and trend notifications on a comprehensive wellness dashboard within your Miku App. With a better understanding of the factors that impact your child’s sleep and wellness, you can adjust daily habits and nightly routines or discuss any inconsistencies with your provider.

Chances are you have a health tracker, maybe an Oura Ring, Apple Watch, or Fitbit, on you. If you’re like most people, you probably dove headfirst into the world of health monitoring devices a few years ago. These wearable devices and apps remind you to prioritize health, wellness needs, and your personal goals. 

Now imagine you could also get a health tracker for your child without having to attach a sensor or sock or special swaddle. It does the job of a wearable but without the discomfort of having the monitor on their body. Miku Pro is a contactless, easy-to-use, easy-to-maintain wellness tracker that monitors your child’s sleep and breathing patterns in real time. 

Now, Care+ from Miku gives you an at-a-glance view of their sleep and breathing trends over time, offering a bigger picture of your child’s wellness and notifying you if an important change occurs.

Wondering how Care+ can help you identify changes in your child’s wellness? Let’s take a deeper look.

What is Care+?

Care+ is a Miku monitor-powered pediatric wellness dashboard that gives you a comprehensive view of your child’s wellness status every time you open it. This dashboard shows you, in real time, your child’s sleep and breathing trends.

Developed in partnership with leading pediatric experts, Care+ uses trend graphs and trend notifications to help you stay aware of changes in your child’s sleep and breathing patterns, their key wellness indicators. With this information, you can adjust daily habits and nightly routines or discuss any inconsistencies with your provider.

A change  in your child’s trends may be due to: 

  • Changes in bedtime 

Your child’s bedtime influences their sleep duration and quality. Have you made a recent change to their sleep schedule? Care+ can help you know if they’ve been going to bed earlier or later and if they’ve been having enough sleep and make necessary changes. 

  • Changes in room conditions

Experts recommend that a cool, dark, and quiet environment is best for sleep. If your child hasn’t been sleeping well, it might be that their room conditions need some tweaking. How cool is it? Is it quiet? Does the street light get through the windows at night? Care+ answers these questions and tells you more about their sleep environment. Then, you can make necessary adjustments to their room.

  • Screen time

Nighttime screen time might mean poor sleep for your child, especially if they use their phones or tablets or watch the Tv about two hours before bedtime. Blue light from screens can keep your child alert when they should be winding down and disrupt their sleep quality and duration. Care+ can tell you how much time your child is spending on their screens. If you need to limit using their devices in the room, you can take keep them away from their bedrooms. 

  • Lifestyle trends

Your child’s daytime habits significantly impact their well-being. For example, evidence shows that physical activity and spending time outdoors can substantially improve nighttime rest. Care+ can show changes in your child’s sleep that might be tied to their daily habits. 

  • Developmental milestones

Developmental milestones can also affect a growing child’s sleep patterns. Teething, learning to crawl, growing pains, and the babbling that comes with learning to talk can disrupt a child’s sleep or even wake them up. By keeping an eye on your little one’s sleep patterns, you can identify if any changes in their trends might be linked in time to reaching a developmental milestone.

  • General wellness

Wellness monitoring focuses on following key indicators, like respiratory rate and sleep patterns, over time. Understanding a child’s unique sleep and respiratory patterns helps you track changes that might be connected to their overall health and wellbeing. Using trend graphs and trend notifications, Care+ helps you stay aware of important changes in your child’s unique sleep and breathing patterns and determine if you need to discuss any inconsistencies with your provider.
