  We are on our second bebesounds monitor and it’s great when it’s working properly. Our first one worked great until the baby turned about 4-5 months and now it gives us false alarms every night. It will either beep just once every half hour or it will beep for about 7 seconds every hour. It’s very irritating because we followed ALL of the directions and no matter what we have it set on it doesn’t work properly. When it does this our daughter is laying directly on the sensor pad and everything. If you get one that works this is the best monitor ever but if you have any trouble forget it. This company has no website or anywhere to find help so that makes me think they are a little shady.

  Originally I didn’t think it would be necessary to have a monitor that senses the child is breathing … now I’m convinced I couldn’t live without it! It just gives us the piece of mind that our baby is still breathing … we were even able to use it when we had to prop up her mattress when she had a nasty cold. We have had a few “false alarms”, but not that many (and we might have had a real alarm, it was tough to tell). Either way very pleased with the product. We do seem to hear some static sometimes in one of the receivers, but it seems to be due to other electrical equipment in the area (however it is a bit random). Any which way not a big bother, very happy. I suppose I wish the receivers were a bit easier to clip onto a belt or something, but we mostly just put it down wherever we are going to be for an extended period of time.

  I love this monitor!! Everyone should have one, it is a must have. I think it is just as essential as a crib or diapers or clothes. I did not put my daughter to sleep in her own room by herself without it. I know I would not get half as much sleep as I do without it.

  First of all, there are false alarms. Or perhaps they are not false at all and the baby has indeed forgotten to breathe - either way, I will never have to know. That, to me, is worth the cost 100 times over! After 10 seconds of no movement, the monitor beeps and if there are 10 more seconds of no movement, an alarm goes off. It also goes off in the babys’ room but it is not ever ridiculous or loud enough to wake her. People say the alarm is super loud - it is equivalent to an alarm clock. And the sound quality is superb. I hear as much as I want or as little as I want.

  I can’t believe that some people can’t be bothered with the “false” alarms. When ours goes off, I usually think that it was time to check on the baby anyway. This monitor allows me the peace of mind to sleep so deeply, perhaps a little too deeply so when it goes off, I don’t mind checking on the baby.

  Our daughter recently had a cold and the pediatrician suggested we prop up one side of her mattress with a pillow for congestion. I was upset because I thought we wouldn’t be able to use the monitor and I didn’t buy it to not use it. But it still worked!! We tweaked the sensitivity (which is adjustable) and just scooted the sensor pad to the opposite side of the crib as the pillow and viola! I was thrilled because when the baby is sick is a time of extra need, when you would want to rely on the monitor the most and it came through for us. I didn’t think it was possible, but I loved it even more after that.

  If you are even considering this product, and you must be if you’re reading reviews on it, just get it. It pays for itself over and over again in the way of peace of mind. It is more important than exersaucer or baby swing or play yard - it could mean your childs’ life. I think SIDS would be nonexistent if everybody made room in their budget for one of these.

  We purchased this product because our 4 week old son refused to sleep on his back. Even the day he was born the nursery at the hospital noticed this and propped him on his side. When he got to the point that he could tip over we had to stop that. From the first night we got this monitor he slept for about 4 hours straight, ate, and then slept for another 3 hours. We have used it EVERY night since then and he’s 11 weeks now. I would highly recomment this moniter!!!!!

  Suggestion-I went to a local hardware store and purchased a piece of plywood that was precut to put under the mattress. It works great and is much less expensive than buying the board the company makes with this product.

  When I heard about this, I had to have it. I was worried that it wouldn’t work as well as people had said, but it does! This product has allowed me to get a good night sleep. The one time it has gone off, my daughter wasn’t breathing, but we sturred her and she started again. This saved her life. The reason that I gave it a four is because the monitors are not very good. They have a lot of static and are not clear. What I did was get a set of monitors and I put one in the nursery with the baby, one in my bedroom, and one to carry around the house. This works great and the peace of mind is priceless.
