I thought he was dead, but he was just asleep.

I still hate the deeply sleeping baby. It is one of the reasons he is back in our room in the portacot

We go away for the weekend fairly often, I got my dad to cut out a piece of cardboard to sit under DS's portacot mattress so I could put his BabySense monitor underneath it after having a couple of scares.

Paranoid, much?

Not paranoid at all.. I do the same..

If you have the monitor you may as well use it my opinion.. We even take ours camping and stock up on batteries

My MIL lost a baby to SIDS 17 years ago.
I can't even imagine how petrified she was when Bri stayed over at 8 weeks old.
FIL woke her at 4am yelling 'Suzie, the baby didn't wake up!'
For the first time ever Bri had slept for 10 hours straight. Everything was ok, but MIL hadn't been that scared in a long time.
