what is the best baby monitor to buy?

RyanA

I don't care about price. We would like one with video and sound...unless the video is of poor quality.
Thanks!

Answer
Although it does not have video, the Angelcare monitor is what I used for both my children.

It has a movement monitor that you slip under the mattress and sound monitor combined that is ULTRAsensitive. I was always scared that my babies would stop breathing during the night. I felt it was better than a video monitor since you can't sit in front of the video monitor 24/7, (and you certainly can't watch it while YOU are asleep,) but you will certainly hear the alarm on this monitor! Very reliable, gave me peace of mind and overall one of the best monitors I've ever owned.

Any mommies use the Angelcare motion sensor baby monitor?

Sweetpea h

Its a baby monitor with a motion sensor in the crib to tell you if your baby stops breathing. I think this is a great idea, but its pricey. has anyone used it? is it worth the money?

Answer
I have one. They are not bad but I would also look into the Snuza monitor. It is the same amount of money but since it clips onto the diaper it is more portable. Also, I have had fewer false alarms with it. I hope this helps!

Angelcare Baby Monitor!!!!!!?

ASHLEY M

This isn't a question I just wanted to tell my success story with this monitor. We have a 2 month old baby girl We purchased the Graco AngelCare deluxe movement monitor. It tells you if your baby hasn't moved (breathed) in 30 seconds. We have been using it for 2 months with great success. We haven't had any false alarms at all. The only time it goes off is when we forget to turn it off and we take her out. But that;s assuring because it tells you that it's working. Well yesterday morning I was woken by the alarm. I ran too her room but the alarm had woken her up by the time I got there (that's what it's supposed to do) and she was breathing. She was all red. I have no doubt that she had stopped breathing. I don't for one second believe that it was a false alarm. It's very scary to think about what could have happened without this monitor. She was sound asleep in her crib, I would have never known!! Thank God for today's technology!! I HIGHLY recommend this monitor to everyone with a small chlid!!

Answer
I had a very similar experience except it didn't wake my son up, we ran in and then picked him up which startled him and he started breathing again. When we picked him up, he wasn't breathing. It was so very scary and I am very thankful every day that we had that monitor. The thought of what could have happen gives me chills. It is well worth any penny ever paid for it.

Now as a side note, I am not sure if you have called and mentioned this to your child's doctor, but if not I highly recommend you doing that. For a child to stop breathing in their sleep often something is occurring, unless you think she somehow got suffocated or too hot, etc. With my son we ended up finding out he had sleep apnea and was then put on a different monitor until recently when he was taken off because he has had no more problems. Just wanted to mention to you that you should definitely let her doctor know about this! I am glad your little girl is okay now!!

Angelcare baby monitor?

blank

Does anyone have it? Do you think it is worth the money? My son has a hard time rolling from his back to his tummy, but can go tummy to back. Last night he was fussing on his crib trying to turn to his tummy and I helped him. He immediately fell asleep. I sat in the rocking chair next to him to keep an eye on him, but eventually fell asleep, and he ended up sleeping from 10pm-6am, when the longest he had ever slept at once before that was 3 hours. He obviously sleeps better on his tummy, but I'm worried about sids and have always put him on his back. I considered getting the angelcare monitor and letting him sleep on his tummy. Opinions? He's 4 months old btw.
Zeke's momma- I know what you mean, it used to be that babies were always put on their tummy because it was believed that they could spit up and choke on it on their backs. I feel like he would probably be fine, I know I slept on my tummy as a baby and everyone I know did too, but just can't stop thinking how bad I would feel if something did happen!

Answer
I have one and I'll never use another monitor. We have no problems with ours, and it's only gone off once. I can't say for sure that it was or wasn't a false alarm, but when I picked up my daughter she felt lifeless and it felt like minutes (although it was probably seconds) before she let out a huge deep breathe.

Are there any good baby monitors out there?

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?

Answer
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?

sweetunder

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.

Answer
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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What is the best baby monitor?

We're welcoming a new edition in a few weeks and we have everything ready to go except the baby monitor. We live in a one story home and I would only need the monitor for when the baby's sleeping. All the bedrooms are on the same side of the house but I always take extra precautions. Thanks so much!

Answer
We got an Angelcare movement monitor and I swear by it. I'm a very anxious mom and it helped me get some sleep! Knowing that an alarm would go off if he stopped breathing was the only thing that stopped me from checking in on the baby 10 times a night. ;)

edit: The monitor was suggested by my son's neonatal surgeon, as he was premature...

What baby monitor do you have? Are you happy with it?

best baby monitor angelcare image

Beth

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?

Answer
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.

What is the best (reasonably priced) baby monitor on the market?

Beff Proni

Are the video monitors worth the cost?... is there a better brand/model?

Answer
i have the Angelcare 401 sound and movement monitor.. i love it! it was about $200 so a little pricey, but i think its come down in price since they brought out the model with the video. i wouldnt waste your money on the video monitors. the movement sensor pads are fantastic so go for one with those, but you dont need the video.
