I'm due my first baby at the end of January, and the only thing we have left to purchase is the monitor. I'm torn between an audio and one that has the motion mat.
Before anyone states...I know it doesn't prevent SIDS...but coming from a family who has experienced cot death, I think it just adds a little reassurance, and think I would sleep a little better knowing that there is that extra thing in place. I guess I would rather a false alarm than waking up and finding the worse!
I know I have read that they give what people think are false alarms, but some say the noise is enough to startle baby, so can't be sure it's definitely a false alarm.
I know I don't want a video one as I would sit watching it constant and wouldn't relax.
I would like to see what people's opinions/experience is with the audio or motion monitors...would you purchase same again?
