This is the last part of my series on baby tech, tracking apps and wearables but I can’t promise I’ll shut up about it forever! In fact, just this week The Daily podcast released an episode that actually only concerned me further. A question the host asked (thank god) was- is all of this taking away part of what it means to be human?<a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" href="https://images.unsplash.com/phot

So! I started writing this article and it quickly spiraled. To avoid a much-too-long essay, I’m now breaking this down into a 3-part series. In this first part, I’ll be discussing the rise of “smart monitors,” wearables and baby tracking apps, what they are actually taking from you, and whether or not they actually work. This is a long one, so if it gets cut off in your email, you can read it in full on Substack! My youngest baby turns 4 soon, my oldest is nearly 9. In so many ways I feel like I
