the past 2 nights, we've had 2 false alarms! of course, DH and I bolted in his room and turned on the light, and he woke up from his peaceful sleep. He was on his side close to the crib railing. Even though he moved off the monitor's sensor pad, we have the board underneath, so isn't that supposed to prevent false alarms?
Re: stupid angelcare monitor!
We have one and have a board underneath the entire mattress and we've never had a false alarm - we've even tested it out with putting DD on her side on both ends of the crib and both sides and it still picks up her movement wherever she is at. She's also recently started rolling a lot and I've gone to get her in the morning with her all over the place and it's still ticking. Have you adjusted the sensitivity any? Ours is right up the middle. Not sure if that makes a difference or not.
Edited to clarify: we got a 2'x4' pre-cut sized sheet of wood for $4 at Home Depot so it is the same exact size as her mattress, not just the size of the sensor pad.
