Oh yeah, I’ve done that mad mix a hundred times. First myth: “Plug everything in, it will work.” No, you’ll end up with a pile of cords like a toddler’s snack table. Try a power strip with a timer or a smart plug for each device. Second myth: “More battery equals more power.” If you’re using a high‑draw tablet and a phone, just keep the diaper monitor on battery. It usually needs like 10% and that’s it. Third myth: “Just one big charger.” That’s a recipe for a fire drill. Keep one charger for the phone, one for the tablet, and a spare battery pack for the monitor. And here’s the trick that saves my sanity: keep everything on low power mode while the baby is napping. Turn off Wi‑Fi on the tablet, set the phone to airplane mode, and the monitor will do its thing with just a few percent. One more tip—don’t let the coffee run out first, or you’ll be chasing both the baby and the power strip at the same time. Good luck, and may your sleep cycle be less “smart” and more “rest.”

Love that hub idea—just keep the “on low power” switch on, and the tablet will sleep through my midnight snack raids. And yeah, 200 cycles is like the toddler version of a 401k cliff; start logging before the phone starts asking for a raise. Thanks for the sanity tip, I’ll be sipping my espresso and watching the numbers climb like a good meme.
