Hi All,

I am lucky enough to have a semi-new nephew (5m and absolutely
gorgeous), who stays with me regularly while his parents take a
evening/day off together.  Up to now I have just been sleeping wiht
my hand on his chest so that if Dylan cries I will wake up, or if we

go to my lab, I put him at my eye level so I can see him.  I know
there are baby cry signallers....does anyone have a particular type
they can recommend?.  I would like it to be as portable as possible,
and also if possible to have it connected to a vibrator wrist band
so I can use it at the lab also.

Any comments, recommendations ect. are welcome.  You can email to me
at rspitz@ucsd.bitnet and I will summarize to the net.

Thanks!

Romy
