Did/do you use a movement sensor/monitor with your baby?

I know they don't claim to prevent SIDS, but just to make sure baby's breathing, etc...
tw9165, That's the one I bought!



Answer
I use that angelcare monitor too with the pad that goes under the mattress. My main reason for getting one was a little girl I looked after died when she was nearly 2 in her cot from SUDS (sudden unexplained death syndrome). It shook me up pretty bad and I agree with the person who wrote that its a comfort to wake in the night and see the little light flashing - saves me from turning the light on and disturbing my son, just to check on him. I too have forgotten to turn it off when I feed him and it lets out an almighty noise! That just proves to me that it works.

Angelcare monitor _ False alarm?




mommyD


Hi! I am a first time (paraniod) mom>
My baby is 5 months old, we have been using the angelcare monitor with the motion sensor from birth. The last two nights the alarm went off a twice (for not picking up movement), this has NEVER happened before, i got such a fright i jumped up and screemed his name on the way to his cot. When i got there he was breathing. Now im not sure if my baby actually stopped breathing or was it a false alarm? Should i take him to the doc? has anyone else experienced this?

he sleeps on his back arms out to the sides



Answer
I have been through 3 Angel monitors for false alarms. It is SO important that the baby is DIRECTLY on top of the pad or else it can go off. Also, the sensitivity level can be turned up and down depending. Mine just beeped this morning twice because my little man scooches himself to the very top of his crib by morning. It's even scarier for us because our baby WILL NOT sleep on his back to having a serious moro reflex that wakes him unless his arms are bound beneath him. I went two months without virtually ANY sleep before I gave into sleeping him on his tummy with the Angel Monitor and a video monitor while sleeping on the floor in his room. In the directional booklet it says that false alarms are common. Mine have gone off over ten times and every times, he's breathing normally and I really don't think he stopped breathing. I feel for you though-- it is THE WORST feeling in the world.
