Q. Ok, so my son is 18 months and in the mornings, i can never tell what he's up to.. Hes quiet then you hear him giggling, i'll get up to get him, and he's passed out again! So we're arguing about getting the video baby monitor to keep an eye on him in the morning and after naps. He's about to be moved into a toddler bed, and i'd like to know what the heck he'll be doing when he gets up.. Sooo do you think it's worth the money or just a simple waste?
Answer
Why bother with a baby video monitor? He is 18 months old.
My brother and his wife had one with their child, it was at the side of their bed so they could see it easily - the funny thing was that if they looked past it, they could actually see the baby in bed! What a waste of good money, just to have the newest toy!
So, unless your room is on a different floor or is a long way from the baby's room, you really don't need one.

When did you stop using a baby monitor?
Q. This is a spin-off from Too Lazy To Use Spellcheck's question about still checking on your sleeping child.
We never used a baby monitor, mainly b/c our daughter slept in our room. Even when she took naps throughout the day, I was always in the same room or the next one.
A week ago I went to a friend's house. She took me into her bedroom to show me something and I noticed she had 2 baby monitors on her night stand. She saw me looking at them and said, "One is for the baby (a few months old) and one is for Sophie." Her daughter Sophie is 6 yrs old. I thought that was a little odd, but I didn't say anything.
When did you stop using a monitor? Did anyone continue to use one as their child was older?

Didn't need or wanted to buy a baby monitor... at one point after having our second child we did consider it but after thinking it through we realized what we have known from the beginning and that it was not needed and would just be a waste of money. We don't need a device helping us monitoring our children when we are capable of doing it ourselves. We didn't have one for our first child so it make sense that we didn't need it for our second. From them being newborns to growing up to be a young child I find that we've always spent all our time watching over them constantly because giving them 100% of our attention our love is very important to us. We had our children because all our time spent making sure they are loved, feed, happy, etc is what we expect as parents now why would we want to leave them alone for minutes or hours to play by themselves? For us it is essential that we spend as much time as we can with our children, we live for them more than we live for ourselves. We are truly blessed to have our children in our lives and we intend to be the kind of parents that they need and want.
