Abstract

In the contemporary era, where dual-income households are increasingly common, the challenge of balancing professional commitments with infant care responsibilities is ubiquitous. To address this challenge, an innovative solution is proposed: the IoT-based Baby Monitoring System for Smart Cradle. This system integrates cutting-edge technologies such as Internet of Things (IoT), sensor modules, and microcontrollers to offer real-time monitoring and automated functionalities for infant care. Key features include alert notifications for crying, automatic swinging to soothe the baby, detection of bodily functions like potty, and monitoring of body temperature. Leveraging GSM modules for communication, the system ensures seamless connectivity and instant alerts to caregivers. A comprehensive literature review reveals shortcomings in existing methods, such as manual intervention, limited data insights, and incomplete monitoring capabilities. In contrast, the proposed system addresses these limitations by providing continuous monitoring, automated controls, remote accessibility, and data analytics. Through a detailed methodology, the components and functionalities of the system are described, highlighting its potential to revolutionize modern parenting and caregiving practices. The findings underscore the significance of technological advancements in enhancing infant care efficiency and parental peace of mind.
