DD is 8 months old and has had the breathing monitor for 5 months now with no issues. This past week it has gone off nearly every night, a couple of occasions the alarm has woke her but mostly she is in such a deep sleep she sleeps through the alarm (which is pretty shrill and loud) She wakes when I turn on the lights and place a hand on her chest. She is always lying directly on top of the pad
I took her to the GP yesterday who listened to her chest and said she's perfectly healthy and told me to stop using the monitor. I am too scared to not use it, my gut is telling me it's not a false alarm and that she is either slowing or pausing her breathing in the night. I would rather run to her 20 times in the night to find her ok than not use it and find her not ok in the morning.
I can't find anything online about this model being faulty, only that it is one of the most reliable monitors out there and is medically certified. I have contacted the manufacturers to request a replacement just in case.
Has anyone else had this happen? I'm petrified of SIDS and want to know if this might be just a phase or if there's something else I can do for her. I'm at a loss, with no help from the GP, I don't really know where else to turn. Am I supposed to wait until something really bad happens and she doesn't wake up?
