Angelcare Baby Monitor Review

I was trying to decide on which monitor to get while I was pregnant. Our baby was then born premature at 28 weeks. Before we left hospital, we received a pack from BLISS (the charity for babies born too soon, too small too sick) with a voucher for the Angelcare Sound and Movement monitor. Since premature babies sometimes 'forget' to breathe and I had witnessed a few scary episodes while I was in the Neonatal unit, I thought this would be perfect. It detects sound and movement and to be honest the lack of movement is the most important part to us.

I ordered it straight away and have to say I am extremely happy. I found it easy to set up (considering I get my husband to do all the setting up of things around the house) and we haven't had a single false alarm. It amazes me as to how sensitive it is at detecting baby's breathing.

After just one week we moved baby from moses basket (that had a horribly thin mattress) to a cot and I was worried that it would not work as well with the sensor pad being placed under a thick mattress with several layers on top, but it does!

I also read other reviews where about 4 parents said it saved their babies lives by detecting when the baby had stopped breathing.

Complete peace of mind and we've been using it for exactly a week now.
