Breathing Monitor - Need your Advice

[rach2281]

Do you know about the Respisense? I hired one for DDs first four months - it's tiny, and simply clips on the top of the nappy. It's about the size of a matchbox. It was absolutely brilliant - as it meant her breathing is constantly monitored, not just while in her cot. I found my DS not breathing when he was one day old, so I was absolutely adamant my DD would be monitored around the clock for her first few months.

I'm expecting another bub, and will be hiring the Respisense again - from memory they are about $23 per month - just search the Net, and you will find the lady that hires them out in Australia.

Lee - I to will be getting the respi-sense this time!!! After meeting a few ppl from SIDS that have had there baby's pass, not in their cot or bed, i think i may be a little more at ease. Ive ordered mine from babies galore for $190, money well worth spent. I like the fact that it tickles the baby's belly first, to get them to breath.

I had the sound and breathing monitor, as some know it failed with us. It went off the day before with a false alarm, but nothing on the day we needed it.
Its only a preventive, i do know this, i just hope other mums realise this to.
