Well done Flame, very good tip too!

Well DS woke once at 1, but then slept til 7.20, so not too bad.

I don't think I'll get much of my list done this morning, DH and I evidently had differing expectations of how the morning was to proceed.

DH is having issues finding the monitor

Flamesparrow · 26/09/2009 10:49

Ok, starting to worry now... the monitor was one of the alarm pad ones. DD used to set off the alarm regularly if she had a cold, and I was never sure if it was the sound that started her breathing again or if it would have happened naturally. Hate the idea of no alarm.

LottieDugalo · 26/09/2009 10:56

mumof2rugrats · 26/09/2009 11:00

i had the angle care breathing monitor when dd1 was born and the tommie tippie breathing one with dd2 and they bothset the alarm off a few times i took dd2 to docs bout it to see if i could anything to stop it from happening again and they said you cant prevent cotdeath and just to make sure i have the monitor on i was very scared when the docs told me that
the only reason i had the breathing ones was because i had sleep apnea and i would stop breathing through the night 12 times so i wanted to make sure my babies were fine

TrillianAstra · 26/09/2009 12:31

Hi, anyone around who wants to recommend me as a friend on Ocado? I get a discount, then you get a discount, it's all good discounty fun. I'm trying to calculate if I can get nicer stuff for similar prices to Tesco...

JustKeepSwimming · 26/09/2009 14:19

Hey TA - nice to see you, to see you...

(sorry too much Strictly last night!)

Flame - good luck finding the monitor. if he's anything like my DH it's right under his nose and has been for hours

Lottie - now i don't know what TTR is!! if you click on the envelope next to my post it should say if you can send me a message? and honestly i wouldn't need as many as 5

Mum is going to check her loft for the monitor. I know we probably don't need the whole alarm thing, but I know how much more easily I sleep with it. It has never been about cot death prevention for me, more just knowing iyswim
