What You Need
- A very dark or pitch-black room.
- A night vision baby monitor or security camera (with night vision mode activated).
- A Sleep of Mind garment (wash before first use).
STEP 1: Put On Sleepwear
STEP 2: Position Camera
Affix your baby monitor directly overhead and in the center of the sleep space.
Make sure it is no more than 4 feet above the mattress.
STEP 3: Put Baby to Sleep!
When an infant is correctly wearing the garment in a dark room, the light emitted from a night vision video camera will be reflected on the garment. As your child’s body moves, the camera light will change reflection on the sleep garment. Some call this the "shimmer" effect!
