AngelCare Deluxe monitor save my baby

I am not the type to push people to buy one product over another but I learned firsthand that having the AngelCare Deluxe Movement Sensor baby monitor is life saving. The short story is that this past Tuesday as I was pumping in my very healthy 9 week old daughter's nursery I heard the monitor alarm go off where she was sleeping in her cosleeper in my bedroom. When I scooped her up and was able to see her in the light she was unresponsive, pale/gray and limp. I did all that I could to get her to "come to" which took several minutes and alot of effort but she did and was totally fine afterwards. We went to the local childrens hospital and she was there for 3 days to be tested for different things to see why she became unresponsive. The doctor's were unable to find a cause which is frightening and frustrating but without the monitor and getting to her in time I am not so sure I would have been able to revive her. It truely saved her life and was worth every penny spent on it. I highly suggest this monitor. In hopes to help another baby I am posting on several boards.

I'm so glad to hear your baby girl is okay! I can't imagine the terror you must have felt when trying to revive her.
Last month, my good friend's nine month old son died of SIDS. As a result, I just purchased the Angelcare deluxe monitor which we plan on using for our future son. I'm so glad to hear that it actually works! Thank you for sharing your story!
She was hooked up to a heart monitor in the hospital as well as had an EKG and everything with her heart is fine. They did hear a very faint heart murmur that can't even be heard from her back so they are not worried about it. They classified it as a Still's Murmur which should go away as she grows. There was no reason to have an at home monitor ordered for her. She had an EEG as well to test for seizure and that was clear. The baby monitor that we have at home detects her breathing so if it were to stop again it would pick it up and alarm. I am comfortable enough with that.
I?m SO glad she is ok!! we were at BRU yesterday where one of my DH?s good friends is actually a manager. I had never heard of this type of monitor and just had a regular video one on our registry. While I was off in the bathroom (shocking) I came back to find my H talking to his friend by the monitors?.of everything in the entire store, his friend told us that angelcare monitor is the only thing we absolutely MUST have. He has a 1 year old daughter too and he said neither him nor his wife could sleep until they had it they were so paranoid. I put it on our registry right away after that recommendation.
