Fact #1. As the name suggests, baby movement monitors detect the movement of a child while they are in their crib or bassinet. Or rather, to be more specific, most are designed to detect a lack of movement that might be associated with a potentially serious issue. Many monitors are sensitive enough to detect the subtle, rhythmic breathing of a small child, and to sound the alarm if they detect breathing motions have stopped.
Fact #2. The extreme sensitivity of baby movement monitors can lead to a number of false alarms throughout the months or even years during which you'll use your unit. If a monitor slips out of place or your child shifts such that the monitor can no longer detect their movements, you'll be summoned to your child's room. This is often after being roused from your own precious sleep.
Fact #3. For any child at heightened risk for breathing difficulties, cardiac complications, or any other medical issue, lack of sleep from false alarms is a more acceptable price to pay to ensure your child's safety. If your young one has medical complications that warrant extra monitoring, don't settle for an audio or video monitor alone. By all means consider a baby movement monitor that detects every breath he or she takes.
Fact #4. There are two basic types of baby movement monitors: those that are actually affixed to the slumbering child, and those that slide under a mattress or attach to another part of a crib. In the former category, there are options that attach to the child's clothing or that rest right on the baby's stomach. These monitors offer the most accurate information, but are also the most likely to send false alarms.
Fact #5. Baby movement monitors that slide under a sheet or mattress have their positive attributes. They're less invasive for a sleeping child. However, they're also less sensitive to minute information, such as a child's heart rate. If your child is generally healthy and sleeps well, this type of unit might be perfect.
