I have the angel care, sound and movement monitor with the two pads, i love it it goes off with a very loud alarm if it cant feel movement or detect breathing after 20 seconds... Also it picks up if the baby is tossing and turning... You can hear everything that goes on in the cot... from babies voice and cry to movement...

I like the higher up model of Fisher Price Lights and Sounds? I think it`s called....the lower model(I think around $40CAD) was terrbily staticky so we traded it in for the next higher up one, I think around $90CAD. It has a digital channel display on the 2 handsets that comes with it and the base is round with a digital dispaly. It`s very sensitive and even if you have the volume turned down you can see the lights light up when there`s noise. Great range too, I can use it 100 feet away in the backyard or the front yard with no problems, no static.

I have a safety 1st monitor (just sound). it was about 25$ I think and it works great! I don`t feel the need for anything too fancy :)

We co sleep but my son does sleep in his crib for naps here and there. We have a fairly cheap sound monitor and that thing is SUPER sensitive! Even with the volume pretty low we can hear him breathing

We have a summer infant video monitor, and I love it! I love being able to peak in at our babies without disturbing them. And it`s sensitive enough that if I turn it up really loud, I can hear their breathing. Which is nice with newborns. Anyway, I know they are expensive, but it`s honestly one thing that I would splurge for. It really gave me peace of mind.

  1. I`ve re-thought the moderating of the member-postings. How does this sound? Let`s change it to usage, rather than length of time as a member. Say your first 10 or 20 polls, questions and pictures need to be approved by a Mod or something like that. Someone posting the racist polls and adding the kiddie porn is unlikely to participate as a normal member. Once you are verified as a regular member you`re no longer monitored.
  2. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you got your IUD (Mirena) out?
  3. Twilight valentines for 7 year olds... appropriate or not? DD received a valentine with a very... sultry smoldery Edward on the front and I was just kind of surprised that anyone would buy those for 7 year olds? I know I`m on the conservative side in general on those kinds of things, but this really surprised me!
  4. My daughter is almost 5 months and 3 weeks ago my hair started falling out. I know it`s normal but how long did it last for you?
  5. With all the issues going on with the site maybe we need an updated list on Mods. Obviously Laura is the one to go to but if there is a concern and it needs immediate attention and a Mod is online it may be good to know who is who so you can reach out to them. Mods, can you please post here so we know who you are. (Esp since some profiles names had to be changed because of recent log on issues)
  6. Anyone wanna try http://parentspuzzlepieces.spruz.com/ a free community site I just made? Let me know if you want the password and would want to help add things to it!!
  7. I think with all the posting issues IAP needs to appoint someone to verify all pictures, polls, questions, etc that are posted by new members. Sure, it`ll probably make things slower, but something needs to be done! Many websites have this installed and IAP needs it as well. Members that have been on the site for a certain time can be exempt, but if you are a new member, posts should be monitored. I`m going to copy this suggestoin to Laura and if you agree you should too!! :)
  8. MODS ~ please help me in monitoring the photo pages and other pages. Horrific porn was posted in photos sections and they need to be deleted as soon as they are seen. I reported it to Laura also. TX!!
  9. my 4 yr old has 3 planter warts on his foot,.. any home remedies gals or is this a dr visit?
  10. ok ladies, sry its long but i really need some advice, a year ago my 5 yr old brother was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, over the last year my mom has had a hard time dealing with his diagnosis because there is no cure and all she can do is give him 5 insulin shots a day to keep him alive, she looks at it like march 13th 2011 was the death of her healthy little boy and she woke up with this sick child, well i always tell her she needs to go to counseling to learn how to cope with this but lately i`m more worried about my baby brother, he came home the other day from kindergarten and had a picture of a red headed boy with a knife, 3 people under the ground dead and another one on top of the ground covered in blood, he recently grabbed one of my 15 yr old brother`s pocket knives out and started swinging it at my older brother because they were fighting, and then he told my mother he wanted to be a serial killer when he grows up! he has said before that he wishes he would die, that he didn`t want to wake up the next morning,.....
