We didn't have one until Jenna moved into the other room, and now we use it all the time because we shut 2 doors between Jenna's room and the living area. I like to listen to music in the house, and I got sick of tiptoeing. The monitor is a great thing in that way. Also we have it on all night as missy gets too unsettled if we let her scream for too long. This way we can hear when she stirs, and listen to whether she winds up too much.
