best baby monitor sensor mat image
Fairy Dust
I am doing a little research into baby monitors. I have seen the sensor mat/pad which lies beneath the baby's matress. It goes off if it does not detect any sound/movement for 20 secs.
Now, a few concerns...
a) does it go off quite often in the night (scaring you half to death) but usually false alarms.
b) how does it sensor movement when baby is laying still? breathing movements? of which it would have to be very sensitive!
c) Do they really work?!
Answer
we had one with our daughter. it senses the breath movements. The only time ours went off was when she finally figured out how to wiggle off of it giving me a heart attack lol.

What average amount of items needed in beginning prepping for a newborn?!?

Receiving blankets, burp rags, swaddling blankets, fancier blankets, bibs, etc.
Answer
sometimes it depends on the baby, but for any I would say that surprisingly few things are needed. it partly depends on how often you want to wash things.
I would recommend:
-1 place for the baby to sleep
-1 baby monitor (one with a sensor pad gives piece of mind)
-3 receiving blankets (I pretty much used the same things over)
-1 infant bath tub (one with it's own slant for the infant is easiest to use)
-1 baby lotion (the less perfumes the better)
-1 baby shampoo and body wash
-1 hamper (to put dirty laundry in)
-1 change table, pad & cover (if you can get one with a drawer it helps to keep everything in)
-1 box of diapers (OR at least 12 cloth diapers)
-1 diaper rash cream
-1 diaper bag (get 1 that comes with a travel change mat)
-1 breast pump (if you are nursing)
-1 can of infant formula (even if you are nursing, it's good to have for emergencies)
-nipple cream (if you are nursing it helps, it's also good to use on babies scratches as its ok for them to swallow it)
-1 thermometer
-2 pacifiers (if you use them)
-2 bottles (wide mouth if you are nursing, usually come with a pump)
-5 sleepers (at least, other outfits are more likely to be worn later)
-2 hats (at least)
-baby nail clippers
-baby Tylenol & Advil
-baby D drops
-baby hair brush
-3 infant towels (with hoods)
-2 blankets
-3 burp clothes (I never used them, but you will want more if the child is a puker)
-5 face clothes
-1 box of wipes OR at least 12 clothes for wiping
-1 diaper pail (it helps reduce the stink)
-1 bouncy seat (if you buy nothing else, I found this most helpful!
-1 infant car seat
-1 stroller (preferably 1 that fits the car seat)
-1 swing (you can get away with just the bouncy seat)
-1 floor mat (at about 2 weeks old you should start tummy time, a floor mat helps keep things safe and clean
-1 humidifier (especially helpful if you live somewhere very dry like Alberta)
-1 dresser (to put clothes & blankets in)
That is pretty much the minimum of what you want to have. a few things I found unnecessary where:
---burp clothes (I never used them, but some children throw up more)
---car window shades (I never got any, just put a blanket over the seat to block the sun)
---high chair (baby doesn't need it right away)
---bibs (I didn't use them, unless the baby drools a lot of throws up a lot, you won't either)
---toys (for a little while they won't be playing, so not a priority right away)
---too many clothes (you end up with a few favourite outfits anyway, and rarely wear other items)
---nursing pillow (I used it, but you can just as easily use a regular pillow)
---nursing cover (a blanket works too, but you might want it for going out)
---teething rings/gel (I haven't really used it)
---an infant toothbrush (I have it and use it, but you can use a face cloth to wipe their gums)
---nasal aspirator (I hate using it)
---pacifier thermometer (the nurses/doctors wanted the reading done under the arm)
Hope what helps a little!!
