When did you stop using a baby monitor?

Question by Liz (Tanner’s getting a sib!: When did you stop using a baby monitor?
I have an 8 month old and am pregnant with our second (due in October). I can’t imagine that I’ll be ready to stop “monitoring” our then 16 month old by the time this next baby is born so I’m thinking about purchasing another baby monitor. Is this a good idea or am I being over-cautious? When did you stop using a baby monitor with each child?

My kids are 16 months apart too! I still have a monitor on my older child, now 21 months. I think I will stop using a monitor when he moves into a big bed at 2 years.
