an alarm if the baby doesent breath for 20
seconds. Does anyone have any more info
on those?

The monitor has an "ultra sensitive sensor
pad that is tucked under the crib mattress
to detect the baby's breathing movements.
If none is detected for 20 seconds, an
alarm sounds," according to angelcare,
inc., the monitor's manufacturer.
(several companies manufacture
baby-breathing monitors. Cost of
anglecare's: $89. Call (888) 391-9091 for
more information.)
baby breathing monitors were developed for
consumers concerned about sudden infant
death syndrome (sids)—a condition
where a child stops breathing and dies.
The monitors are modeled after
hospital-issue baby breathing monitors
found this about them hope it helps

Yeah she is right, I am the one who told
you, they go under the mattress,and it is
for less than 20 seconds I think it is
like 10 , it makes you aware right away.
And they also have those shaped things so
the baby will stay on there back..Both
reduce death from sids.

Oh yes I saw them at wal-mart for 99.99!
Its a new try to try and stop sids or
something.. I really want one! It alarms
in 20 seconds if the slightest breathing
sound isnt heard.... They look just like
2 baby monitors too... Its really neat!
Has anyone tried em??? I wanna know if
they really work!

My best friends baby boy died last year
from sids, she is now having another and
bought it because the docs recommended it,
I think it would work. It has been shown
to be good so far...I will get themw ith
my next pregnancy

I have heard that it can fasley go off.
But then again I suppose I would rather it
go off and be a false alarm and be
annoying, than lose my child.

If you are worried about sids here's what
I have been told about helping reduce the
risks......
1: car and home = smoke free zone
2: donot use pillows, doonas, bumpers in
the cot
3: do not have toys in the cot with baby
4: always make up the cot at the bottem of
the bed, so that babies feet touch the
bottem of the cot, it helps prevent baby
from smothering by wiggling under the
covers,
5: dress in layers, that way a layer can
be removed to prevent over heating
6: dress baby in similar clothes as to
what you are wearing, ie weight and
length, use the same ammount of blankets
as what you would need to be comfy, then
add a blanket.....
7: keep baby away from passive smoke
before and after birth......
8: always lay baby on back to sleep.

Jayden wont sleep on her back either!!
She screams if you make her try to sleep
on it. She has been like that since she
was born. The thing i've been wondering
is i've been seeing alot of cases of sids
lately and the babies are like 8 and 9
months old~!!! I thought that went away
at like 5 months. Or greatly reduced.
I just let her sleep on her stomach, but I
constantly check on her. I only sleep
for like 4 hrs at night anyway so I just
turn up her monitor and hope I will hear
her if something happens. I mean my
monitor is up so lound I hear every breath
she takes.
