Q. I already posted this question but hopefully this time I will get some more answers... We just purchased a baby movent monitor, it lets me know if my baby is completely still, so it sounds an alarm if he quits breathing, it's supposed to help protect against SIDS... So my question is, if you have one, is it too good to be true, does it malfunction alot, or is it really as reliable as I hope?
My monitor is also an angel care monitor

Answer
We bought the Angel Care monitor and love it! It has a sensory pad. You have to put a piece of plywood under the matress, so it won't beep when the baby is in deep sleep. So far, it has worked great! It helps me not to worry so much! You can check out reviews on this monitor at Babiesrus.com. That is why we bought it! It got such good reviews!

Information about sids monitors?

I recently bought a sids monitor (angelcare monitor) but I plan to cosleep. I heard cosleeping was better at preventing sids also. Is it pointless to have both?
Answer
You bought a motion sensor monitor. It is NOT a SIDS monitor. The distinction should be made. In true SIDS cases, the baby will not be able to be revived. The monitor you bought will go off if the baby stops breathing, and could be effective against suffocation deaths because you might be able to revive the baby, but it will not prevent SIDS.
My babies both slept in an Arm's Reach co-sleeper bassinet and then a side-carred crib when they were infants, and I did have the Angelcare monitor because they were both preemies and I got so used to having the NICU monitors. But most nights they ended up sleeping in bed with me anyway.
The Angelcare monitor that I had with my youngest, purchased in May 2009, only worked as a motion sensor and audio monitor. It would not work as JUST an audio monitor, so once she was old enough to scoot around the crib and the sensor didn't pick up her breathing when she was in the corner, it was worthless. Fortunately I was able to sell it on Craigslist and then bought a video monitor.
It's definitely pointless to have a motion sensor monitor if the baby is going to sleep in your bed, because it's not going to work.
