angelcare baby heart monitor image

My baby is 3 weeks and I do this all the time. I don't know if everyone does it but if you did then when were you finally able to relax a little bit? My husband and I are doing shifts so that one of us is always awake with him.

Well my oldest is 7 1/2 and I still check on her LOL. I don't think it ever stops. To have a baby is to have your heart walking around outside your body. They do sell this thing called an Angelcare Monitor it goes under your baby and detects movment (ie breathing) if no movement is detected in 20 seconds it sounds an alarm. It's like 80 bucks but if you can afford it it will give you some much needed peace of mind and rest.

What do you think is useful and whats not?

What do you think were the most useful things, that you either registered for, or not that you had for your first baby? How about things that you had, again that you either registered for, or not that weren't as useful as you thought they would be.
Answer
most useful: obviously carseat (now-a-days most of them come with bases but I would say a base is a must!)... I have used the stroller wayyyy more than I thought I would...don't know if you are breastfeeding or not but an electric breast pump! I didn't think I would pump as much as I do... a baby sling thing you can wear on your body (my daughter has her clingy days and I can't get anything done without this!).. an angelcare breathing monitor (I was terrified of SIDs and so I bought one of these off of ebay and it allows me to get sleep.. an alarm goes of if she stops breathing for a certain period of time.. i think 10 seconds.. and it also doubles as a baby monitor)... a pack-n-play (I got one with a changing table and a bassinet and then I didn't have to buy a changing table and she never slept in the bassinet but it holds her diapers, wipes, and everything she needs diaper changing wise) this one is kinda a smaller deal but Johnson and Johnson has these pre-soaped baby shower wipes and you just get them wet and wash your baby.. (these were great for when the baby was first born and could only "spounge bathe" the baby)
Not useful: baby wipe warmer (I can just warm them up in my hand and now at 3 months she doesn't even care)... swaddling blankets (some babies have to have them.. my daughter even in the hosptial would scream if her arms were tucked in.. needless to say those blankets were donated) shoes (my daughter is almost 3 months and I can't keep any shoes on her feet.. I mean they are cute but socks work just fine.. i'm such a shoe person as a mommy so I went out and bought a ton of cute shoes and I have put them on her like once!)... Newborn diapers! (She was born 8lbs 8oz so we could only use newborn diapers for like a week) I got a bottle warmer for myself after I started to pump... useless (she doesn't care at all if its warm or just room temp!) a bassinet (I put her in it for like 2 nights and then co-slept and then put her in her crib at 4 weeks and now its just like a diaper compartment) all the baby lotion and powder given to me (I have never used the powder once and I use lotion after baths and I still haven't even put a dent in the first bottle!).. and this one breaks my heart.. my crib bedding was completely useless.. I went out and bought a set for a pretty penny because it was sooo cute and came with the bumper and comforter and sheets and everything... well the only thing that gets used are the sheets that I could have gotten for like $7
I'm sure there are so many more things.. but the tricky part is what works for my baby or didn't work for my baby might be the perfect thing for yours! Thats why its great to have a circle of moms where you can trade things!
Good luck!!
