Question About Infant Movement/breathing Sensors?
I just moved my 6-month old into her crib at night (she’d been in bed with us before that) and I’m a nervous wreck all night because I can’t monitor her breathing.
I’m wondering about the infant movement sensors now and I want to know if it’s worth it to purchase at this stage since my baby moves all over the place in her sleep. I place her at one end and by morning she’s clear across the other end, curled up in the corner. Won’t this set off the alarm all the time if she’s not right on top of the sensor mat?
Please share your experiences and let me know if it works for your 6+ month old baby. Thanks!
The risk of SIDS at 6 months old has decreased so much. If your baby moves around a lot then no its not worth it. It might go off in the middle of night and freak you out. We have used ours since my son was about 2 months and I am thinking about putting it away since he can now roll in both directions.Yes it will set off the alarm.
Ours beeped last night like it was about to go off. It freaked me out I ran into the room and my son was clear across the crib. I just shut it off.
No – ours lost its valubility at 3m. At 3m my daughter was rolling like crazy, the alarm went off every night, and it was because she was rolling and wriggling about.
The sensor mat does allow for movement, but I found that when Soph was right up the top of the cot, it would, at times, lose her.
BUT, we have a cotbed, which is the size of a toddler bed. So perhaps if it was smaller there would be less chance of it losing her.
