We havea wireless one with the motion sensor fitted as well, really good and bleeps every 7 seconds to let you know the baby is breathing, my missus insisted on it and its been a god send for peace of mind and you dont really notice the beep( apart from subconsiensly)(sp).
If your baby does not breathe in 25 sec a alarm goes off, only happened once and that was when he was bigger and had crawled nearly out the cot,lol
I was like shi* off a shovel out ma bed ,lol

Is that an Angelcare one? **** that, you'd never get any sleep. Be restless all night. I did consider a wireless video one originally, then thought I'd be up & down the stairs like a ****** knickers when I could not see the nipper moving, so stuck to the top 'Tomy' sound only model. Does the job a treat.

Just don't bother at all. The little ******* make themselves heard easily enough if there is a problem. Also wait a least five minutes before getting up in the hope that they get over it and go back to sleep

We had one of those breath monitor ones. It was always going off and after a while, we became complacent about it. Until one night we stumbled our way into her room to cancel the alarm and found she had stopped breathing and was going very blue. That thing saved her life - I have no doubt.
As for video monitors, no way. You'll never get a moments peace as you'll be constantly watching every little movement.

We use a basic Tomy audio set - about £40 and very good. I think you can be too paranoid with a baby and end up a nervous wreck.
Having said that, it's great to have got past 6 months - risk of cot death then drops to pretty much zero.

Biggest waste of money in the world, used ours about twice before I insisted that it went back. Don't bother even buying an audio monitor - it will just keep you awake at night listening to it. If your little ones are waking up at night and need your attention then they will certainly let you know!

The way it is now, I have to "justify" any kind of gadget purchase to the other half. So a beby monitor, for me has its standard use, but then doubles up as a portable-ish CCTV device.
So I appreciate the input, but AGAIN, I DO want a video monitor. So lets just keep it to that.

Some may say its over paranoid but SIDS can occur up to a year old.
Gives extra piece of mind when sleeping.

Audio with temperature monitor for the little mites would be a good idea, they have a tendency to convulse from time to time
Webcamming them is a little ott imo.

We just bought a BT one from John Lewis, does audio and temp as well as some other things. Wouldn't usually have replied to this thread but it's on offer at £58ish so a good buy really!

He's recently started sleeping through - pure luxury but we always rush to see if he's okay in the morning!

Off the main topic a bit here, ours has slept all the way through from 3 months old, all down to that mad bird Nanny book, stuck to all the feeding stuff and he has slept in his own room as well since week 2, its pure bliss from 7 at night till 7 in the morning. well worth the fiver for the book IMO.
The moitor was the angel care one and i would not be without it now, you dont hear the beep after a while and can turn it down etc and it shows temp etc.
That reminds me i need to sell that grobag temp monitor, any takers??

When ours is asleep early in the evening, he's far away enough that we can't gear him even if he really cries - so we have ours for that reason. At night, he's only over the corridor so easy to hear - but not so much that we are awake all night.

Matt,
I'm just giving my opinion based on my experience. Whatever works for you (and the OP) has got to be the way you work it. Our two both went in their own room on day 1 of having them at home - we slept them in the same cot together for the first couple of weeks as they were so small and used to being together. 13 months on and I really don't know where the last year has gone - just one big blur.
Great when they start sleeping through isn't it? No more of those night time bottles - just the fun of weaning to look forwards to
Say what you like but the Gina Ford books do work as long as you tailor the advice to your lifestyle.

We bought a baby Wi Fi, but it was on e-bay after a few weeks. Not needed - unless you live in a mansion maybe.

PS we wash all sheet in safe non-bio They WILL all make you paranoid if there is a penny in it...
