Safe to Sleep Baby Sleep and Breathing Monitor with Audible Alarm, Smartphone Compatible (Discontinued by Manufacturer)

We bought this after our daughter needed oxygen at the hospital shortly after birth. It works well enough that we're able to sleep at night without worrying about her. We did turn off the extra alarms because they go off all night. I do turn them back on if I am out of the room though. She sleeps right next to our bed in a Co sleeper. I like that it is also a sound monitor and I can hear her if she cries when she's napping and I'm not in here with her. Also the monitor is silent, a few of the other monitors we've had make static noise so I can't keep them on my night stand.

First let me thank Ryan the creator of this wonderful product and then I'll get to our story. RYAN, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!! Your product us amazing and the fact that you personally field customer service calls with your team is awesome. Who better to answer questions then the man who created it! Okay on to our story...We're new parents of a beautiful and healthy baby boy, Aidan. Unfortunately like many newborns our son suffers from acid reflux and as a result, he naturally and occasionally would hold his breath while sleeping to alleviate the discomfort of his reflux. We being new parents were unaware of this and scared SH*TLESS of SIDS, so when our 2 week old son stopped breathing for several seconds while asleep in my wife's arms, we freaked!!! How can you prepare yourself for your wife to tell you, "the babies not breathing"? You cant!Long story short, the wife performed CPR, the baby woke up none the worse for ware and both his Peds Doctor and our many Register Nurse family members all assured us he was fine and to stay up with him overnight and monitor his breathing. BTW, both our Peds Doc and RN f'members told us a trip to the ER wasn't warranted unless it happened again (for more than 45 seconds) as it would result in the same treatment, us staying awake, watching him breath all night. Only difference we would be sitting in the ER rather than home, oh yeah and the expensive hospital bill.So while sitting with our son, we took to the internet and found this, 'Safe To Sleep, Sleep and Breathing Baby Monitor', the reviews were excellent, our Ped's Doc and RN f'members (tired of our repeated phone calls about this and that) all agreed it does the same as the respiratory monitor at the hospital and it would allow us piece of mind and maybe some sleep. Target, Babies r' Us, Etc., all carried them 'ON-LINE' only and it was 1-2 week delivery. We weren't going to be able to stay awake that long, working and taking turns watching the baby and voila(pronounced, vwä-ˈlä) we found a solution!Amazon.com had them! Better still is was cheaper than everywhere else!! Better yet, with our Amazon Prime account it would be here in two days!!! Better than that even, we could up the delivery service and be back in business of sleeping in no time flat!!!! Yeah sleep!!!!!It arrives, we open it, read the book, add the batteries and placed the baby on it. Oh HAPPY, HAPPY, JOY, JOY, this thing is awesome! It has a handy remote monitor, some cool features (you can read about on your own) and we can sync it to our smart phones for even cooler monitoring graphics!I would recommend this to every parent of a newborn!Downside...but Ryan assured me he has a solution in the works(bigger monitoring mat for larger beds/cribs)!Safe to Sleep is designed for a bassinet sized sleep area, we have an full size Arms Reach co-sleeper next to our bed and a full size forever crib and they both have large sleeping areas. Much larger than the Safe to Sleep designed for a bassinet sized sleeping area. When Aidan moved off the mat, (which he tended to do often 'cause I think he secretly wants to torture me with sleep deprivation) we would be awakened by the monitor alarm to a respiration distress signal only to find him asleep off the side of the mat and the mat couldn't monitor his breaths. It's better to be awoken 'cause I have a restless sleeper for a kid rather than a dead one!Again, I can't stress enough how awesome this product is, it is worth its weight in gold for piece of mind or sleep(which ever is more valuable to you). We will be buying another(larger version) when they become available for our next baby.Ryan you have 12 months!

As most new parents, we were faced with the fear and worry of "what if she stops breathing??" Our baby was born premature and so this fear was/is very real as we have seen it happen in the nicu...of course, they have monitors to warn them when this is happening...Why shouldn't we have the same warning and peace of mind that we can prevent it also? I searched and searched for an answer and stumbled upon SafetoSleep. I debated for a long time whether or not to purchase this item as its no small price tag but then what price would I pay for the safety/monitoring as offered in the hospital? I read the reviews and jumped the gun. This item says what it does and actually does it! The alarm will go off for her slight movements but that can be fixed in the sensitivity settings, it has warned us of a drop in her breathing, a rise, and when she gets picked up off the mat ( or rolls off later on). All of these are very useful! I love that I can talk to her using the monitor...I love that it tells me the temp of the room because we can mimic the nicu temp...I love the ease of setting it up and using it!!Things I would improve are: 1.different alarm sounds for different things. 2. A backlight. 3. Longer battery life (lithium?)4. Size options

My baby was born a few weeks early and had some breathing problems in the begining. He chocked once in the NICU and it was the scariest thing ever because he made no sound when that happened, we just noticed he started to spasm and open his mouth and turn red. So we decided we needed something toMonitor his breath when we brought him home. He doesn't have a real need for it now but we still use with the baby camera because sometime is hard to tell if the baby is sleeping by looking at the picture.Some reviews say that you can't use thick layers in between the baby and the mat but that's not true. My baby always uses an undershirt, pjs and a thick dawdle blanket and it works perfectly. We noticed that the mat has to be perfectly flat to work properly (we had issues trying to put it inside of the pack n play bassinet but had no problems in the crib) and it works better as the baby gets heavier.Overall we are really pleased with this monitor and believe it was worth every penny

I can remember checking my little ones every 10-15 min when they first came home. So, thinking my son would get some additional sleep with this I took a chance. They loved it and it works well. You obviously cannot depend solely on this device but it is does give some extra peace of mind.

Sent this to munch sister when her infant was battling RSV. It gave her peace of mind and she appreciated being able to monitor her child's stats. It was well worth every single penny!!

PEACE OF MIND! When my son got home from the hospital he REFUSED to sleep on his back; in fact, would scream bloody murder until you picked him up and were chest to chest with him (miserable).So for the first six weeks he slept on my chest until finally I had enough. So since he was a proven tummy sleeper, we wanted something to make sure that he was still breathing at night. Safe to Sleep was our saving grace!You can program the alarms to go off if he wakes up, rolls off the mat, or with too high or too low breaths per minute. Our son was born at 22.5 inches so didn't really fit in the mat very well, but we turned it sideways in his crib and have had no problems.LOVE this mat and couldn't imagine not having it!!
