My house is small & I did use one for a while but only because I was given it. I was not intending on buying one as I didn't believe I needed it.
Honestly the static used to drive me nuts. It used to make me listen for breathing & then when I couldn't hear it I'd panic & run to the bubs room and he'd always be fine - just not great reception.
I started to sleep wonderfully well the night I switched it off.
I don't have one but I think I need one when I go check the letterbox/do gardening/hang washing out/drink my coffee outside. House too small really to justify right now but might consider it when we move (as soon as we find a house).
Went to a party last weekend and borrowed my friend's while there because my baby borrowed her son's cot. Was fantastic because I could happily wander outside and know I could hear her if she cried.
One bedroom apartment here so not much need. On the rare occasion I find it could be useful (run out to the garage, grab the mail, hang washing out the back etc) I just call the house phone from my mobile and leave it next to her so I can hear if she cries... a bit costly but like I said, don't need to use it often haha
LOL! You probably could have justified one by now calling from mobile to use as a baby monitor! My mobile bill is usually $200+ so I don't think i'll be using it as a baby monitor!
Small home, no monitor. I did use it then one night forgot to turn it on and DS was just as loud when he woke up. They have lights on and make it harder for me to sleep with LEDs in my face.
At my mum's: big house, use the monitor. Only Sneakyboy (yes, he did turn superhero on this occasion) gets up and turns it off then plays in his bedroom so it's not always all it's cracked up to be.
we have a medium sized house. If I leave the doors open I can hear DS easily. I purchaced one but stopped using it as it was making him too loud. It would wake me when he turned over in his cot or made a few little noises. I was getting no sleep and it was horrible.
