Re: Easy Solution to prevent Plagio???

[Guest guest]

Janice,

I had never heard of this product before! Thank you for posting

about it.

This product could be very useful to repo'ing parents who are using

various sleep positioners, wedges, etc. inside the crib, as an added

safety net since there are items inside the crib with the baby.

Would you take a look at this link I found, and tell me if this is

the product you heard about? I think it detects the " movement " of

breathing, if I read the descriptions correctly. I would like to

add it to the repo links, if it's the right one:

AngelCare Movement Sensor with Sound Monitor

Stop worrying while your baby sleeps! The under-the-mattress Sensor

Pad detects your baby's slightest movements, and the Nursery Unit

receives the signal and sounds a " no-movement " alarm that is picked

up by the portable Parents Unit. If absolutely no movement is

detected for 20 seconds, the alarm will sound.

Let me know,

Hi Christie,

That's probably it but I don't really know this product either. I

have asked who also responded to my post for the name of this

product because says she uses it and loves it.

Gosh, I'm thinking all of our little ones would have nice round

heads if only we had used this product!

Janice - trying not to feel annoyed!

Hi,

Just wanted to mention that we used this product from the day came home

until

he was about one year old. We actually bought the version without the sound

monitor

as we had our own sound monitor. We did have 4 or 5 false alarms over the course

of

a year (makes your heart stop when it goes off) and I know others have had more

but

I don't think I could do without this product (paranoid first-time parent). It

is a very,

very sensitive movement monitor. I'm not sure about tummy sleeping even with

this

monitor before the baby is able to roll tummy to back though (although after

dealing

with plagio I have certainly questioned tummy sleeping vs. back-sleeping

occasionally). Remember that the alarm goes of with 1 beep after 15 seconds then

steady beeping 5 seconds after that. This means that the alarm sounds 20 seconds

after your baby STOPS BREATHING. Not sure if I would want to increase the risk

of

that happening by tummy sleeping (and having to deal with a non-breathing baby)

by

tummy sleeping before they could roll front to back. I just mention this because

someone suggested having babies tummy sleep and to just use this monitor.

Just my 2 cents.

Mark,

Thank you for posting a helpful review of this product! I wish I

had heard of it with Remy - what a comfort it would have been, even

with the occasional false alarms!

I agree it's very important to adhere to the back to sleep campaign

to reduce the risk of SIDS, even with the added safety net of using

the AngelCare Monitor. Repo can be accomplished without tummy

sleeping, and I appreciate your mentioning the safety concern.

Take care,

Christie (Mom to Repo'd Remy)
