I turned DD's off when she was put in a big girls bed as she happily trots down the hall if she needs us or just wants to hop in our bed. I've found since turning it off I am more intune with her and haven't slept through her needing us yet. I was once told that if your little one needs you they will be heard!! I believe that because DD can get quite a scream up if she needs us quickly and she just calls if she wants us, that make sense? Best of luck - hope you get some sleep!!
