DS is 8 and a bit months, and sleeps in a cot in his own room (quite happily). We have an Angelcare baby monitor, with the movement sensor that goes underneath the mattress. We need to keep the baby monitor because we can't hear him when we are downstairs in the evening and during naps etc. Over night we don't use the monitor because he's in the next room and we can hear him singing to himself and snuffling around his bed all night.
The problem is that he keeps working his way all the way up his cot, and the sensor alarm goes off almost every night. We've tried to reposition the pad, but it doesn't make any difference (is a cotbed, so quite large). My husband commented this morning that he's going to get rid of the sensor pad tonight, and now I'm freaking out. I'm irrationally terrified that he's going to stop breathing, even though he's never had any illnesses or problems. We'll keep the noise part of the monitor, but the thought of not being able to see the little sensor on the monitor ticking to let me know he's still breathing gives me palpitations.
Am I'm being totally irrational and PFB about this?!
