Packing for vacation... would you...

MaybeABaby? · May 2009

would you take the baby monitor? We are staying in a 3 bedroom condo, ds will be in our room, my parents and brother will be there as well. Do you think we need the monitor since it's a small area? I'm trying to avoid packing the ENTIRE house.

We didn't take ours. Just checked on him once in awhile.

If it is just a small audio monitor then I say pack it. You might want to sit outside on the patio/balcony or something while LO is napping or be in another room during the day where it could be helpful.

We took ours but it is very small. It helped bc in the evenings we were outside on the deck and I didn't have to keep going in to check on him.

I barely use ours at home. I wouldn't take it.

We are taking our and we never use it at home. The house we are staying in is pretty big. It has a couple decks and a pool. I don't want to be stuck inside while DS is sleeping or napping, so I am taking ours.

We take ours everywhere, to be honest. By having the monitor, we can hear him sooner than we would if we let him cry to get our attention. If other people are goign to be there, we want to disturb them as little as possible.

And also as mentioned- what if you want to sit out on the balcony where you won't be able to hear him?

I just feel more comfortable having it w/ me!
