Hi Tiggerlinda,
We have the angelcare monitor with the two sensor pads (you can get one with one or two pads) - I love it and it is one thing I could not live without, it just gives you that extra piece of mind.
At the start I would get up in the middle of the night and pick up bubs and forget to turn it off and get all the way down the hall and it would alarm - you soon learn to turn it off
Highly reccomended.

I love my angelcare too. Haven't tried or heard of anyone's opinion on the others.

I have the angelcare aswell (with 2 pads) used it with DD as a monitor without the motion sensor & using it for DS WITH the motion sensor. Its one item I'm so happy I have! Both my children have slept long hours through the night & with DD I would wake on my own to check if she was still breathing through the night because I hadn't heard from her.
It took me a little while to get used to turning it off before I get DS out of the cot but now its just habit

I highly recommend it hun. It keeps my mind at ease every night

Do you know about the Respisense? I hired one for DDs first four months - it's tiny, and simply clips on the top of the nappy. It's about the size of a matchbox. It was absolutely brilliant - as it meant her breathing is constantly monitored, not just while in her cot. I found my DS not breathing when he was one day old, so I was absolutely adamant my DD would be monitored around the clock for her first few months.

I'm expecting another bub, and will be hiring the Respisense again - from memory they are about $23 per month - just search the Net, and you will find the lady that hires them out in Australia.

Hope this helps.

We used a BabySense until DS was 8 months old. Apparently it's the only medically recommended one? I'll have to check the box that is under DS cot after he wakes from his nap.

Anyway, we loved it. We could also use it in his bassinette attachment of his pram if we stayed overnight somewhere.

HTH.

I only just took the AngelCare off ds's cot a few weeks ago. Loved it, it really eased my anxiety the first few months. We did have a few false alarms with it- mostly when he rolled right to one edge of his cot.

Lee - I to will be getting the respi-sense this time!!! After meeting a few ppl from SIDS that have had there baby's pass, not in their cot or bed, i think i may be a little more at ease. Ive ordered mine from babies galore for $190, money well worth spent. I like the fact that it tickles the baby's belly first, to get them to breath.

I had the sound and breathing monitor, as some know it failed with us. It went off the day before with a false alarm, but nothing on the day we needed it.
Its only a preventive, i do know this, i just hope other mums realise this to.

I borrowed a friends Babysense one and will definitely be getting something similar this time around too.
