its the Movement and Sound monitor. i think its cool that it sounds an alarm when there is no movement for 20 second. even detects if your baby stops breathing. has anyone used this? do you like it? i want to get one because i don't want to co-sleep, this monitor would be safer. my neighbors little girl passed away at 2 months while co-sleeping. she suffocated in the blankets. you never think something like that will happen to your baby, but id rather not risk it. id rather have a good monitor.
wether they were practicing safe co-sleeping or not, im still not going to co-sleep with my baby. its my own personal preferance.
Answer
The monitor is great.
I had a very Premature baby & would never have slept a wink without it !!
I asked in the NICU before my daughter came home if these were any good because people always think they have false alarms. The doctor told me that these are very rarely false alarms. Many babies, & adults , have these "pauses" (as he put it) while they sleep. He said that when the alarm goes off it jolts the baby awake & they start breathing regularly again. They actually used to be used in hospitals many years ago but were replaced with the little strap on things they have today.
The alarm doesn't go off if you move off the pads either. We tried it once with no baby in the cot. We put our fingers on the side of the cot & the alrm didn't even go off then! (until we removed them completely for 20 secs.)
we were told not to panic if the alarm went off a couple of times a night. But to go to doctor asap if it is a regular occurence to check for sleep apnea.
I know some people will not agree with this , but I'm going from what doctors told me & personal experience only.
By the way, the alarm only went off a handful of times for me in the time I used it :)
Congrats on your baby by the way !!

Answer
I have the AngelCare monitor by BeBe Sounds. It comes with a pad you put underneath the mattress that detects breathing, and if 15 seconds go by with no movement an alarm sounds. Don't ask me how it works, because I have no idea. It has never gone off except once when she scooted to the corner of the crib. But it does work if she stops breathing, because if I take her out and forget to turn the monitor off, it starts beeping like crazy. Definitely helped me to sleep better at night!
