When and how did you wean yourself off the Angelcare/movement sensor monitor?

My DS is 18mo and I still like to see the wee pendulum silently ticking away...

Any tips and stories welcome

Don't laugh, please!

Glad it's not just me :)

It's just strangely comforting...

DD1 at 2.4 when she went into a big bed.
DD2 at 2.3 when we moved house and I dropped the audio bit and the antenna / plastic snapped off so its coiled wire and I diddn't want her to touch it.
Also I have a large cot so dd2 is still in it .....The boxes from moving are on her bed so (sshhhhh ) she is still in our room .... Waits to be struck down by the MN patrols......

I'd have had DS in my room a bit longer, but I was going back to working shifts so would have woken him up all the time (in the unlikely event of him being asleep I suppose )

He got kicked out just before 6 months when I started back.

we've only had a few false alarms when he's curled right in the corner. :)

We had to ram the cot into our room - I had to get out of bed at the bottom for a while! I didn't fancy moving him as he was only about 4 months old when he started bashing his hands on the sides of the crib all the time.

DS is 17 months. Because of his history of chest problems it gives me so much reassurance I am not even considering turning it off any time soon!

I will probably try to do it some time before he is 18 ;)

6 months. DS kept rolling into the corner of the cot in his sleep which set the alarm off.

DS is 9 months and I'm not turning ours off anytime soon. I probably if I had my own paranoid irrational way would have it on until he left home!

It is rather comforting.

I am :) right now at your name prolific

:) thanks jaggythistle

Used it for about a year with first child and barely used at all wit second (she was in with us until 13 months, though).

My DS is 6 months and I think I will stop as from tonight - he rolls off the sensor pad and sets the alarm off at least twice a night! Getting rather tiring......

Sensor mat/alarm part was switched off at 12 months due to DS rolling off it all the time, but we still use the monitor now (DS 2.3).

DD still has one at nearly 3 but that's because we haven't been arsed to disassemble it! She has jumped on it many many times, so have a new one for DS of 6 mos. I love them, find them very reassuring.
