Mommy's Lil Helper: Baby Monitor For Your iPhone
Baby monitors can act as a mama's second set of eyes and ears, but when you're on the go and your lil one needs a nap you can still keep tabs on her while she sleeps with the Baby Monitor application for iPhone ($5). Simply place your iPhone near your sleeping baby, and if it detects noise it will place a phone call to the number of your choice (like the land line at your best friend's house). You can then listen in for activity from your tot — the super smart program will also detect if your babe picks up the phone.

When Did You Stop Using a Monitor?
At nineteen months, my daughter hasn't needed her monitor in quite a while, but I still like to keep it on just for my own peace of mind.

I'm not sure when I'll pull the cord on our monitors, but I'm thinking when she turns sixteen, we might need to reinstall them.
