DS is 13 months
We have a breathing and sound monitor and a separate video monitor (PFB, guilty as charged)
When he stays at my parent they don't have a monitor at all
He has been waking really early (anywhere between 5 and 6 - 6 is ok, 5 not so much) and last night DH said, "It's the monitor. First squeak and you go to him. Leave it downstairs tonight and you'll get a better nights sleep. He sleeps till nearly 8 at your parents"
So we did. And DS slept till 7:45
But a bit of me is worried he was awake from 5am and howling and I just didn't hear him. It's unlikely as we have a small house and his room is directly next to ours with the two doors on a 90 degree angle to each other (so almost touching IYSWIM) If he coughs or sneezes I can hear him and I'm not a deep sleeper
I like the video monitor for when we are downstairs as I can check he is ok / settled so would keep that, but do I still need the sound one?
Is it ok / safe to get rid? When did other people do this? And how? The nagging doubt that I should be awake at 5am is gnawing away at me.....
