I have a toddler who wakes regularly in the night and a 4 month old who sleeps pretty well for her age but sometimes gets woken up by the sound of the baby monitor when the toddler calls out in the night. I really don't want to mess up her emerging good sleep routine with all his disturbances.

Also when I go in to his room to settle him I don't have a baby monitor on the baby but leave the doors open in the hope I will hear her if she wakes as if I had a monitor set up making noise in the toddler's room it would definitely wake him up. Sometimes I have fallen asleep next to him and then only woken when her crying has got pretty loud which is not ideal.

What I want is monitors on both kids that won't play sound out loud in the other room but that only I will hear via Bluetooth sleep headphone headband.

Does anyone know if this exists? Where can I get it? Or is there another clever solution I haven't thought of?

I have the BT monitor with an app on my phone. If you connected the headphones, it would play through from the app.

Having the app permanently on burns through the battery though.

I’m pretty sure the Nanit baby camera also does the same and you can get two cameras with it, whereas I think you’d have to buy another monitor to get a second BT camera.

But basically anything that has an app should work for you.

Ooo thanks that sounds like it would work. 👍
