New Baby: Chaos, Joy and the Smart Calm Down
“Smart tech didn’t just help the baby sleep—it helped me breathe again.”
The First Few Weeks Were a Blur
“I was tracking feedings in my notes app, using my phone flashlight to check the baby, and crying over cold coffee by noon.”
Katie wasn’t failing—she was just doing everything alone.
She had her first baby during a pandemic. Her husband traveled for work. Her mom was supportive, but two time zones away. She worked part-time from home and was determined to “figure it out.”
But nothing prepared her for how completely consuming it would feel.
- Bottles forgotten
- Naps missed
- Lights on all night
- Monitor battery dying mid-nap
- Routines built around total exhaustion
What she needed wasn’t more energy.
It was a way to stop wasting the little she had.
Life Before Smart Tech – Survival Mode
Katie didn’t want to be a tech mom.
She wanted to be present. But the chaos made that impossible.
- She used her phone flashlight to check her baby at night
- White noise played off an old iPad with a cracked screen
- The bottle warmer was either ice cold or boiling hot
- She forgot to turn on the humidifier—again
- She was manually tracking feeds, wake windows, meds, and diapers
No matter how many parenting books or Instagram routines she saved, nothing stuck.
Because the baby didn’t run on a schedule—and neither did her brain.
The Instagram Post That Shifted Everything
One night at 3:00 a.m., rocking the baby and endlessly scrolling, she landed on a story:
“Your nursery doesn’t need more Pinterest. It needs automation.”
It was from SheSmartTech.
The post didn’t show fancy nurseries or robot cribs. It showed a mom like her—exhausted but supported. And it linked to a quiz:
“Get your personalized Smart Baby Plan in 3 minutes.”
She took it while feeding. Platform? Apple. Budget? Modest. Priorities? Sleep, sanity, ease of use.
The next morning, a custom Smart Tech Plan landed in her inbox.

Platform of Choice: Apple + Alexa Hybrid
Katie was already deep in the Apple ecosystem—her iPhone, iPad, and watch were her lifeline.
So the core of her kit ran on Apple HomeKit:
- Eve Room
- Smart plugs
- Lighting scenes in the Home app
But she also added an Echo Dot for one reason: voice routines.
Alexa routines from SheSmartTech’s Voice Routine Pack made things feel magical. Not technical.
Her voice became a switch. Her home, a partner.

What Changed After Smart Tech
It wasn’t the devices.
It was the way her day started to feel different.
- She stopped reacting—and started flowing
- She didn’t forget things as often
- Her baby started sleeping longer
- The nursery became peaceful—and so did she
Even her husband, skeptical at first, started using routines.
“Now we just say ‘Alexa, bedtime’—and it happens. I didn’t even realize how much effort that used to take.”
