which breathing monitor to use with an Amby Nest?

[Ginni]

I just ordered my Amby and now i'm looking into which breathing monitor would be suitable to use with it - I've heard Respisense shouldn't be used beyond around 6 months as there is some danger in baby rolling onto her stomach with this attached. However, with an Amby I don't think babies can turn on their stomach (?). I am not sure the monitors which use pads would be ideal as the Amby doesn't have a flat surface, and the sizes may not match up to the Amby. Also i'd be concerned about any wiring. So at the moment i'm assuming the clip-on Respisense is the best option. Does anyone have any comments?

Many thanks

We've got the tommee tippee one and as you say I don't think it would be suitable as requires a flat surface.

WOuld you want to use a monitor past 6 months anyway? I think the SIDS risk drops dramatically after that point, as far as I know most people don't use them once they can wriggle around.

The Angelcare needs a flat surface and goes under the mattress- also its hard for them to get the wires as you can send them out under the base.

Babies can turn on their tummies in the Amby. Well, at almost 7 months old, mine discovered he could. He could also sit up in it . We moved him into a cot sharpish.

I just used one of the standard tommee tippee or whatever it was ones (johnson and johnson?). It worked fine checked that it alarmed with no baby in- it did.
