For those who don't think moniters work, I personally don't agree. When my son was 7 months old the moniter woke us to find him face down (I mean totally face down) and not breathing. Who knows what could or would have happenned if we didn't have a moniter.

My first son had his and it never went off once and he had it until he went into a bed at age three. Parkers has gone off about 5 times, we get the warning tic a lot, but rarely goes off now. He has also been diagnosed with sleep apnea through the moniter.

He will be three in September and we won't be removing it until he gets into a bed. For those who get false alarms I recommend the angelcare moniter with two pads, it covers the whole cot, so you don't get the alarm when they are up either end of the cot.

No in some cases it wont save them, but if it gives you a heads up at least you have a chance isn't it worth it?
