Movement alarm panic!

[Em78]

had such a fright this morning at 2am.
got woken up by alex's movement alarm sounding. ran in his room shouing his name and he was totally fine! the alarm is meant to stop if he moves again and just flash a light so you know its happened. he was wriggling when i went in and it was still going.

he was sideways right at the bottom of his cot so i think he was just too far away from the pad. he was pink, breathing, warm and wriggly so i dont hink he actually stopped breathing or anything. we did have a couple of false alarms a few months ago where he had moved too far away from the pad but the alarm cut off after a second as the noise made him jump and i think he did a bigger movement the pad could detect.

such a scare though! you send the next hour staring at the little blinky light on the monitor just in case.

poor love he was still asleep after the alarm going off, his parents crashing into his room shouting, the light going on and me grabbing him and moving him back up his cot. just snuggled back down and sighed a bit!!

we have had that twice now but ours stops then starts i went in once and he had wriggled up the bed and the pad was near the bottom so no its in the middle of the bed, but it went off the other night but i assume he just moved on his side or something it makes you panic but i wouldnt be without it, at least you know it works

That what i say michelle. it frightens the life out of you but i'd rather have a hundred false alarms and know that it should work if (god forbid) he ever did really stop breathing.

worth their weight in gold for peace of mind. wouldnt be without it.

Damien's is in the middle of his cot now as it did that once when it was near the bottom. Damien wrigglees to the top of the cot every night now! LOL

Glad it was just a false alarm hun x
