Good sleep, good learning, good life

Ditto.

When I had my first son my wife and all nearly killed each other due to lack of sleep, we would take shifts so there were a pair of eyes on him always. At least until he was around 7 months old. SIDS is real, and is not worth it.

The same thing happened when my daughter was born. Heh, well, with my baby girl I never slept. I kept an eye on her like a HAWK.

I feel like there should be an easy and failsafe technical solution to this.

Companies like Angelcare sell a "baby movement monitor" sleep pad that sounds an alarm if the infant stops moving for 30 seconds. It's sensitive enough to detect movement from breathing alone.

There are a lot of them, but nothing replaces skin-on-skin touch. In our case, it was the only way we could get my daughter to sleep.

Negative reinforcement through shock therapy is both easy and failsafe (it will not physically harm the child).

I don't know much about babies, but the way you phrased it made sound like "Beatings will continue until morale improves" approach.
