I have an Angelcare movement monitor (a pad under mattress - parent unit then clicks or flashes with every movement - usually every breath out with dd - if no movement for 20 sec an alarm starts). Anyway, went to bed with dd at 9.30ish - she was really tired - her cot is attached to our bed sidecar fashion so I am alongside her. I thought she was breathing really shallow - couldn't really hear it - DH said you're really tired (hardly any sleep previous night as weekend away at hotel for family do etc) so we went to sleep and at 10.30 the no movement alarm went off - I was awake in a micro second and woke her - she cried then went back asleep - still shallow - I had a meltdown, almost puked on carpet, stayed awake and thankfully 10 mins or so later she stretched and wriggled and went into more normal noisier, wrigglier sleep. Now she does wriggle over to me so it might just be habit that I put her more at the edge than middle of cot (pad under middle) - plus we have the sensitivity set low (so it just picks up her and not us) but is that very deep sleep normal and should I have just tried to wake her more when we went to sleep? 8 wk jabs today - will ask GP. Really frightening.
