Hi Tiggerlinda,
We have the angelcare monitor with the two sensor pads (you can get one with one or two pads) - I love it and it is one thing I could not live without, it just gives you that extra piece of mind.
At the start I would get up in the middle of the night and pick up bubs and forget to turn it off and get all the way down the hall and it would alarm - you soon learn to turn it off
Highly reccomended.
I have the angelcare aswell (with 2 pads) used it with DD as a monitor without the motion sensor & using it for DS WITH the motion sensor. Its one item I'm so happy I have! Both my children have slept long hours through the night & with DD I would wake on my own to check if she was still breathing through the night because I hadn't heard from her.
It took me a little while to get used to turning it off before I get DS out of the cot but now its just habit
I highly recommend it hun. It keeps my mind at ease every night

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.
