Question by Michelle: has anyone used a baby apnea/movement monitor??? please give some input?
My daughter was born early at 32 weeks and now I just brought her home. And I’m sooooo deathly afraid she’s going to stop breathing while she sleeps, and I’m so used to her being hooked up to the monitors at the hospital and knowing she’s okay but now, she’s home and I’m constantly making sure she’s breathing and I am not getting a wink of sleep due to my paranoia. So I’ve been looking at some infant movement monitors that monitor sleep, and apnea. Has anyone used them? There’s also something called the “Respisense Movement Monitor” That is sold in the UK and I just found it here… I know some people may think I’m over reacting, but since my daughter started out in the NICU it’s scary. .. Besides I”m a first time mom. So please no comments about how I’m overreacting, I would just like some input on the monitors… thank you!! Some of the ones I”m looking at are the “angelcare movement monitor” and baby sense.
Oh and I was wondering if there was one I could use in a bassinet and crib
