Angelcare monitor false alarm

Last night we had our first real false alarm with our Angelcare monitor. We had one once before, but it was because I had accidentally unplugged the main unit and the batteries were dying after a few days.

But last night - no reason at all for that thing to beep. We heard the 15-second warning beep, I twisted my ankle running in there, and my husband hauled a$$ down from upstairs, threw on the light and woke the poor baby up. He was sound asleep and just fine.

The only reason I can think of is that I changed the sheet on his co-sleeper mattress yesterday, so maybe I need to re-calibrate the pad? The good news is, I know that we can make it in there within 5 seconds, because it never even got to the main alarm beeps by the time we were in there on top of him.

Talk about stressful.

    Can't imagine.  Glad everything was ok.
    I give up trying to get a ticker.  I have a DD that is 2.5 years old and is awesome.  Maybe I'll add a quote to distinguish myself.  Hmmm.  How about...

    Mine JUST did that.  Like less than 5 minutes ago.  Since we've got 2 going, we have no idea which baby it was, either.  DD gave us a "WTF, people?" look.  I hope she goes back to sleep.

    Is it possible, your LO moved "off" of the sensor pad.  When they start scooching around, you will get false alarms.  At that point, you'll want to remove the sensor and just use it as a regular monitor.  I remember when that used to happen with Olivia-it is so scary.
