when to stop using angelcare monitor?

stephanier1126

we have become so attached to the monitor that I don't know how I am going to sleep without it but lately he has been tripping the sensor every night so imstarting to think that since he's rolling around we have to stop using it?  Idk

Do you have a board underneath the monitor?  We have a thin masonite board under it and have had only one incident of DS tripping the sensor since he has been in his crib and rolling around for a month now.  He even goes to the end of the crib and the motion sensor still picks him up.

I was wondering the same thing about the Snuza.  2 nights in a row and a few other times in a row it's gone off because he rolls so much that it comes off his diaper enough to be ineffective.  I'm hoping this is just a phase because I want to keep using it as long as I can -- I'm addicted to it but how can you not be?

sorry, I don't have an answer.

This, exactly.  I figure that since it doesnt affect DS (and helps my sanity), I'll keep using it for a while.  DS is a stomach sleeper so it makes me feel better.  We've never had a false alarm but we have a board under the mattress like they recommend.

18 years old? Ha! I love that thing. DS tripped it once last week but I think its only happened 3x? Make sure the pad is centered. GL.
