Q. We are looking for a good, secure, low static monitor for our upcoming arrival. We also have a older son who we still use a monitor for, but that monitor is going out. Anyone have a two room system, or use two seperate monitors? If so what brands work well together?
A. We use the Angelcare Sight, Sound, and Movement Monitor. It's definitely pricey but wonderful because aside from having the breathing and movement detected, we can also see what's going on. When we did use only a sound monitor, we ran into our son's room with every sound he made (except he makes lots of sounds in his sleep, even cries out in his sleep), so with this we can look and see if he's awake or asleep before going in his room. Plus there's a talkback feature on it, so if he's really fussing when he wakes up, we can assure him over the monitor as we walk to his room. It is a secure monitor and on the quiet side. It also has a voice activation feature, but I'm not crazy about it because sound (even voice) cuts in and out with it. Either way, you can barely hear the white noise it lets off without the voice activation feature.
Question about Movement and sound Baby Monitors?
Q. Does anyone have the "breathing baby monitors" That will sound an alarm if the baby stops breathing? Im curious if they actually work, or if there are alot of false alarms. Ive been reading about one called angel care.. the under mattress pad is supposed to detect all the baby's movement including breathing.
A. ive got the angel care,,,,, THE BEST THING IVE EVER BROUGHT IN MY ENTIRE LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
ive got 4 kids, and brought it when i had my 3rd,,, it really gives peace of mind,,, with my first 2 kids i used to check if they were breathing 24-7
with the angelcare, u hear every breath they make with the movement ticking sound,,, its fantastic
ive had probably 5 false alarms,,, but researched that, and found out a baby can occasionally pause their breathing for 20 seconds,,, my babies were ok
but as much as i stress, the false alarms are nothing compared to the peace of mind i get from this monitor
my freind is a nurse at the childrens hospital,,, and even she has this monitor,, so its definately good
go and buy one NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When did you stop checking your baby every 2 minutes to make sure he was still breathing?
Q. My baby is 3 weeks and I do this all the time. I don't know if everyone does it but if you did then when were you finally able to relax a little bit? My husband and I are doing shifts so that one of us is always awake with him.
A. Well my oldest is 7 1/2 and I still check on her LOL. I don't think it ever stops. To have a baby is to have your heart walking around outside your body. They do sell this thing called an Angelcare Monitor it goes under your baby and detects movment (ie breathing) if no movement is detected in 20 seconds it sounds an alarm. It's like 80 bucks but if you can afford it it will give you some much needed peace of mind and rest.
What baby monitor do you have? Are you happy with it?
Q. This has been a toughie for me and hubby. The reviews on all baby monitors are very mixed, and neither brand nor price really seem to have anything to do with whether or not people like a monitor. Just wondering what you have and use, and maybe what you've used in the past. What have your experiences been like with those brands?
A. We picked up a used 'first years' one at a garage sale...it works fine...but our rooms are so close together at one end of the house, that we wind up just turning it off.
My sister used an 'Angelcare' one...it works fine too...
They're generally all pretty good...it just depends on whether you want 'bells and whistles' with it or not.
