Baby sensor mats, worthwhile?
Hi ladies
I'm just after some opinions on baby sensor mats, the ones that go under baby's mattress and set off an alarm if no breathing is detected within 15 seconds. Are they worth the money? Or do they cause more hassel than they're worth, I would hate the alarm to be so sensitive that it's going off all night long!
I have a feeling when baby arrives I might stay up all night to make sure she's still breathing so if it offers peace of mind it might help! Any opinions/advice?
Thanks

We've only had a couple of false alarms and lo is now 7 months old. We recently put her in her cotbed and still use it in there and have no problems even if she rolls off where the mat is.

LO now breathes so quietly in her sleep I'd be constantly waking her checking she's breathing if we didn't have the pad.
We had 1 false alarm till we turned up the sensitivity. Now she can wriggle round the whole cot (and she does!) and it still picks her up fine.
We also have the Angelcare one.

we used it from day one with Evie and at 18 months ive still got her sleeping on it!!
it has just made me feel so much safer, i dont undertand why everyone doesnt get one if you have a baby? normal monitors only let you hear your baby, they dont tell you if they stop breathing!
yes we have had a few false alarms with evie rolling off the mat, but tbh id rather a few false alarms than to have her never wake up at all.
get one, its the best piece of baby equipment you will ever buy
