angelcare breathing monitor - when did you stop using yours? and any false alarms???

[jen-b]

Hi pregpan

We are also having false alarms with our angelcare monitor. It scares you when you hear the alarm but DD3 has been fine.

I took your advise and took out her underlay tonight, so hoping it will reduce the false alarms. Wondering if you could tell me what you have the sensitivity set on now.

Thanks

hi jen-b
sure happy to tell you what we have the sensitivity at - but i have no idea where to look (DH away atm) - so let me know and I will check.
We havent had one alarm since i took out the underlay... it is so awful to have the alarm go off isnt it...

Hi

Taking out the underlay didn't make any difference . So today I took my Angelcare monitor to a local baby shop today and they tested it for me. One of the sensor pads was faulty, so that should explain the false alarms (hopefully - I will see what happens tonight!).

On my nursery monitor there is a dial which adjusts the sensitivity. The guy today at the baby shop said to try it on the most sensitive which is 5. If it is too sensitive go back to 4, etc.

Glad all it going well for you
