errmm my hv suggested it to me when i told her of my dilema about my cousins wedding she just told me to request a room close to the reception where the wedding was and to use a baby moniter, she said she had done it when her 4 kids were little, only they didnt have good baby moniters like we do so they just nipped back every so often, now we have really good moniters that pick up every little sound, i had one for ds1 that checked his breathing and an alarm would go off if he didnt breathe for 20 seconds? maybe 30?
are you going to pm me as well, do you want my addy so you can report me to the appropriate authorities?!!
i took ds to the dr recently and left dd asleep at home with ds1 (12) in the house, along with ds2 (almost 10) i took ds4 with me as well. the drs is literally 2 mins walk from my house, we were there and seen pretty much straight away, the dr knowing me asked where the others were, and said it was odd to see me without the whole gang, i explained dd was asleep so i left her with ds1 and ds2, if she had been awake i would have taken her with me but as she was asleep i knew she woudl be fine, if she woke ds1 would have gotten her up and given her a cuddle and put on cbeebies etc for her until i got home, she would have been fine, as it is she stayed asleep.
really every time you get in your car for that non essential journey, esp the ones wehre you could have walked you are putting your child in far more danger tahn leaving them 2 mins away in a room with a baby moniter, as i said does no one have the tv on in the evening so you cant hear, do you not take a shower when your baby sleeps or go and hang out the washing or put out the bins, etc etc
