if your DC are 2.5 years apart

Amanda&Chris

what is your monitor situation?

I think we could get by not having a monitor in Lila's room, but I also like having it there.  Is there a solution that doesn't involve having two separate monitors?

We have 2 monitors, one in each room. I probably wouldn't use them at all anymore (kids are now 18 mos and 3.5 years), but our bedroom is on the second floor and the kids are on the first floor, so I feel safer using the monitors. We have a Cape Cod, hence the bedroom situation.

I had a video monitor with DS. When DD was born, i got a second camera. I can toggle between each room.

This is the case for us, too.  DS is 4 now, but I still have a monitor in his room because I can't hear him if he wakes up crying (and he sometimes does if he's had a bad dream or something.)
