Abstract:

A baby blanket with baby monitoring system for monitoring the weight of a baby. The baby blanket with baby monitoring system includes a blanket that has a weight sensor positioned in an interior of the blanket. The weight sensor is adapted for measuring a weight of an object resting on the blanket. A control unit that has a microcontroller is operationally coupled to the weight sensor. The control unit also has a main audio alarm. The main audio alarm is operationally coupled to the microcontroller. The microcontroller activates the main audio alarm upon the weight sensor sensing a weight outside of a pre-selected range of weight values. In addition, a remote unit can be used to monitor the weight sensor at a distance.
