The best baby monitor for you depends on what you want. If you just want audio, a basic baby monitor is a good choice. If you want to see your child, choose a baby monitor with a camera. In addition to regular camera baby monitors, there are also smart baby monitors with an app. With these, you can even see what's happening in the nursery when you're not at home. Or you can keep track of the health of your child in the app. In addition, it's important that you consider which extra functions you want on the baby monitor. Some baby monitors have 2-way audio, lullabies, or a night light.
