The Motherhood Experience
Redefining Baby Monitors: Caitlyn Schollmeier on How LittleOne.Care Helps Moms Feel Confident Again
What if your baby monitor did more than just beep?
On a recent episode of The Motherhood Experience Podcast, former Miss United States and midwife Caitlyn Schollmeier sat down with host Val Kleppen to talk about her whirlwind journey into motherhood, entrepreneurship, and her recent partnership with LittleOne.Care — the creators of the Elora baby wellness monitor.
And if you’ve ever wished motherhood came with a little more clarity and a lot less fear, this episode is a must-listen.
A Different Kind of Baby Monitor
Like so many moms, Caitlyn entered motherhood with a mix of excitement and anxiety — especially after delivering premature twins and facing postpartum depression. She described the early days of feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, and constantly worried.
That’s where her appreciation for Elora comes in.
“Most monitors are built around fear. But Elora is built to help you actually enjoy your baby.”
Rather than focus on emergencies, the Elora monitor by LittleOne.Care shifts the spotlight to growth, bonding, and development. It gently tracks how much tummy time your baby gets, how many words they hear, and when you sing, laugh, or play together — turning those everyday moments into real data you can celebrate.
Not Just a Monitor — A Wellness Companion
Caitlyn explains how Elora supports new parents not by micromanaging them, but by offering reassurance through small daily wins:
- Tracks baby’s movement, sounds, and engagement — without intrusive wearables
- Helps you understand sleep, routines, and interaction patterns
- Uses AI to give clear, digestible reports to reflect your parenting efforts — no judgment, just insight
- Partners with baby care experts to give you access to trusted guidance, not just algorithms
As Caitlyn puts it, "It focuses less on just 'keeping your baby alive' and more on helping you feel alive as a parent."
Confidence, Not Comparison
One of the most impactful takeaways from the episode? Elora doesn’t compare your baby to others. Instead, it helps you become more in tune with your baby. That focus on confidence over comparison is something Caitlyn passionately supports — both as a midwife and as a mom.
“You don’t need to do everything perfectly. You just need support that reminds you you’re already doing enough.”
