We are the same as Naomi - only stopped using the breathing/alarm option fulltime on our monitor when DD moved into her toddler bed - last week, at 22 months. I just couldn't sleep well without the alarm set but since the control has been taken out of my hands, I'm good with itI do switch it on randomly at night though (through the settings on the parents console) but I have to quickly turn it off if I hear DD climbing out of her bed! We initially thought it would be a good way to know if she was wandering but she's quite noisey so we get warning anyway. I still like seeing the little pendulum swing on my monitor though so I use it a bit, lol.
Can you just keep using it and get another monitor for the next baby? Or get a cheaper monitor for your DD that tells you the temp only? There are several that do just that.
I'll still be using a monitor for DD when our next baby arrives in December. She'll be 27-28 months by then. We'll use the Angel Care sensor pads on the new baby and a cheaper monitor with a temp gauge for DD. Until then, I'm gradually weaning myself by leaving the alarm off after she's woken throughout the night. I certainly wouldn't have been game enough to stop using it at 13 months though so don't feel like you need to stop just yet, you're not alone!![]()
