ever since little mr. sleepy started sleeping on his stomach (remind me to thank the grandmas) {sigh}, we've been really nervous about him suffocating. hence why all the docs want them to sleep on their backs.
we had heard about a sensor system that detects all baby movements and after much researching & digging...we found the
Angelcare Baby Movement Sensor. for $140 bucks- this has been a lifesaver. mr. sleepy and i are not running to the crib every 5 seconds to check on him and feel much more comfortable since we have the monitor right next to us. we've had one false alarm since we got it- i welcome all false alarms especially since it means that the monitor is working.
this is how it works- you place the sensor pad under the crib mattress and plug the cord into the nursery monitor. then you take the parent units anywhere in your house {my case our 1 bedroom apt}. the parent unit tells you the temperature in the room, a pendulum image shows you that he is breathing/moving, and also allows you to hear whatever sounds he makes. {brilliant} mental note- always remember to turn off the nursery unit when you are picking the little one up because the alarm will go off. in the middle of the night this is not fun.
current state of nursery/our bedroom: {73 degrees, mr. little sleepy is passed out in his frog position, no sounds are heard as of now}
current state of me: {worry-free, well at least a little}
