Where is the most effective place to put a baby monitor?

The most effective place to put a baby monitor is near the crib, but not in the crib; many parents do make that mistake. Also, when your child is sitting up and a little bit older, make sure that that baby monitor is not in their reach, because if they get hold of that, they have the electricity, they can get into the batteries, and they can suffer a burn or shock. So, anywhere that's near the baby, but not within arm's reach.
