AngelCare AC401 Movement and Sound Baby Monitor

...bedroom so we bought an AngelCare for our daughter. It is the newer version- I will include some pics at the end… please excuse the mess in my home! My little girl is still in her Moses Basket but that doesn't stop me using the monitor when I am in a different room from her. It's not ideal but it will suffice until she gets into her cot. I love the reassurance of knowing she is moving around. My daughter was born by emergency section slightly before ...
...in the womb very well. She is well over 9lb now but although she is a healthy little fighter I was very worried while the docs made sure a neonatal bed was free for her as she was born. Thankfully she arrived in the world needing no extra help other than lamps for jaundice, but the very memory of her arrival is enough for me to want all the helpful baby gadgets I can have just to keep sane and not be checking her breathing every 2 minutes. The monitor ...

Review of AngelCare AC401 Movement and Sound Baby Monitor

=== cot death === Before Baby B came into our lives Mrs B had a very trying pregnancy with threatened miscarriages and plenty of hospital stays. This lead to her being quite paranoid and she began to believe that she'd never be lucky enough to have the baby born in one piece... Baby B was born in one piece but she was then paranoid about cot death which I think is pretty understandable especially seeing as how much the health visitors and midwives ...
...Baby B's appearance our local health visitor came round and spent a good twenty minutes scaring us both senselss about cot death and how it can be reduced. Although she had told us the ways to ensure your baby is as safe as possible- no co-sleeping, checking the correct temperature of the room- we were still slightly paranoid so we decided to purchase this angel care monitor. === what is it? === The monitor, is basically a sensor mat. This mat ...

Review of AngelCare AC401 Movement and Sound Baby Monitor

...so I invested in the Angelcare monitor with movement sensor mat. The set includes a 'baby unit', 'parent unit' & movement sensor mat. The mat is placed under baby's mattress (if like mine, the base of the cot is slatted, or you're using it in such a moses basket, then you will need to place the mat on a firm surface such as a piece of plywood under the mattress), & is so sensitive that it can detect even the lightest of breathing. The mat connects ...
...unit. If no movement (yes, even light breathing counts as movement) is detected for 20 seconds, an alarm sounds on both the baby & parent units, enabling time to get to your baby & resuscitate them should the worst happen. I had a panic last week when the alarm sounded. I flew into baby's room, only to find he had rolled to the other end of the cot where the mat couldn't pick up his movement. I had positioned the mat at the foot of the cot, seeing ...

Review of AngelCare AC401 Movement and Sound Baby Monitor

This monitor is one of my complete favourite buys for scrumpy. At first I thought it was ridiculous and screamed out 'nervy parent trying to throw away their money', but using it gives me such reassurance. It really is brilliant to stop that ridiculous paranoia that is 'oh my goodness, he has been quiet for at least 20 minutes, do you think he is ok, what if he has suffocated?' It creeps up on all of us at one time or another, even the most laid ...
...In short, this device stopped me going in and checking (inavertently waking up) my new born every hour, just beacuse my baby blues were telling me that something was wrong. The movement pad is excellent and picks up babe's breathing, I can't tell you how many times it has gone off when we have lifted scrumpy out of his bed, but I quite like that, as it continually lets me know that it is working! His breathing translates as a little moving pendulum ...
