Baby breathing detector?

SSV

I am having some anixety with my baby sleeping in her crib since she has started sleeping on her belly. I heard there is something you can put under the crib mattress that beeps if the child stop breathing. What is this called and has anyone used it? My doctor said not to worry but i am a first time mom so i am going to worry.

Answer
When I had my first baby in '96, My sister's friend's baby died of cot death.
My sister was so horrified that she bought us a breathing monitor for a present for our baby. It was an odd piece of equipment and sent a 'beam' over the baby from above the cot and when no movement was detected after, say, 30 seconds, it went off.
It used to go off all the time and frighten the s..t out of us!
When I had my second baby, I needed the reassurance again, so used the monitor for both my second and third babies.
Last year I had my fourth baby and as there was a gap of 6 yrs between the last and this one, I purchased a new one as the old one was 'dated' and I wasn't sure it was still working!
I paid £69.99 for it, it's by TOMY and there's a pad that goes under the mattress and an alarm goes off if no motion is detected after 20 seconds.
It's worth it's weight in gold, I swear. Sometimes my baby girl holds her breath and the alarm has gone off, I've had to grab her, then she calmly takes a breath in....

I would dread to think about if I hadn't bought this alarm.

I know you'll worry about EVERYTHING being a first time mum, I worry and I've got FOUR kids!!!!

This thing detects a good range of movement as my baby is all over the place in the cot..(I used it in the moses basket too)

Best wishes!

what is the best baby monitor if you live in a sprawling barn? Nothing seems to work...?

what is the best baby monitor if you live in a sprawling barn? Nothing seems to workâ¦
I need to monitor my mum at night as she is ill and I don't want to be too intrusive. Currently we have a doorbell, but it doesn't get through our thick walls. We bought a Tomy baby alarm and that didn't work eitherâ¦.any suggestions?

Answer
your eyes, ears, & intuition are best. talk to mum's doctor about having a night nurse provide care.

a little bit of a paranoid mummy!?

Lindsey

My 4month old dd started rolling from back to belly 3days ago :) we are so pleased! The last 2nights she has started to roll onto her belly while she is asleep and it scares me. She has her head to the side so that's good but she can't roll onto back from her belly. Really really paranoid mummy at the minute is there anything I can do, I've been told not to use a sleep positioner.
Please don't comment if your going to tell me your lo has slept on belly since a newborn because firstly its not going to make me feel better and secondly I think its downright careless. So sorry I just don't want to hear that.
Thanks in advance
Sorry, I didn't mean it was careless from this age I meant when they are newborns and like you say they haven't the ability to move themselves, I know someone who did this and I don't think its right. I worry as my lo has severe reflux and so hasn't been able to do much tummy time but her head control is great today! Rolling has helped her gain her neck strength but because of this it worrys me. My ds never liked sleeping on his belly and so I never had to worry so much

Answer
You could certainly try a sleep positioner or maybe try a tomy sleep curve mattress, it's has a groove for babies head that might help prevent her from rolling, but then again it may not. My health visitor told me that once baby could roll onto their tummy themselves it was fine to leave them that way a they have good enough head control to turn their head side to side even if they can't roll back. Hope that gives you peace of mind. Another alternative is leave her be and let her sleep whatever way she is comfy but invest in one of those angel care monitors so you can sleep soundly. It goes under the sleep and an alarm sounds if no movement has been detected ie through breathing. They often recommend these for prem babies at risk of apnea. Good luck!

Which Baby Monitor is Best?

Bard

Hi friends,
I think it's an important thing to buy a baby items, but I have no idea which is best?
What would you suggest?

Answer
We use the Tomy Walkabout Premier Advance, it cost around £60 2 years ago and has always worked well. You can see the temperature in babys room, it also has a night light on the monitor in babys room and you can use the parent monitor to speak to your baby in their room, but I have never really used that feature. It also has about 5 or 6 different channels so if you get interference on one channel you can change it to a different one. You can get a good one for around £20 but I would recommend one with a temperature on it, it makes me feel a bit better knowing if I need to warm the room up a bit or cool it down. I would buy another Tomy one if I needed to.
