Wireless Monitor For When Baby Falls Asleep In Car?

greeneggs_2

Sorry but I think that's nonsense, of course the advice keeps changing, we know a lot more about human biology than we did 40 years ago. The advice on how to manage heart attacks, and strokes etc etc have also changed too.

The number of cot deaths in this country have significantly decreased since parents were told to put their babies to sleep on their backs. The advice isn't conflicting if you listen to current medical advice rather than the 'it didn't do me any harm' people.

Even with windows open in the summer it only takes ten to fifteen minutes for the temperature to rise ten degrees in a vehicle. If you want to risk your child dying leave him in the car to sleep, if you would rather have two seconds of inconvenience don't leave him in there.

You cannot find such a monitor because no company would want to promote such a dangerous thing.

I agree with what you say, but these monitors do exist.

(not that we used it for this reason!) but we bought a wireless monitor and receiver

It was a video feed and either plugged directly in or came with a battery pack. the receiver resembles a smart phone in size and basically a display and control unit (the camera could be tiled and moved)

very handy for when baby might stir (traditional monitor you just see red lines and need to check), and easy to see whether it's anything that needs attention.

Social services provide a good monitor. An actual person will come and check on your child when reports come in that the baby is alone in a vehicle.

Can you only be intimate in the bedroom? Best let my OH know we've been doing it wrong :rotfl:

No, you can't, but in my experience, what better than taking a bottle of wine, in a romantically designed bedroom?

Yeah, a quick shag over the kitchen table can be good, but slightly limited lol

The best advice to follow is professional advice based on the newest research, not anecdotes across the generations!

There's nothing wrong with a baby/young child sharing a bedroom with their parents, one of my children shared with us for a very long time, and private time can be achieved by being inventive! I could never put my need for space above the safety of my child.

Good for you - but balance in all things is best - your life as wife and lover is as important as that of a parent!

And, I think, you will find, eventually, that 'the latest professional advice' is just recycled lol - first one thing, then another, then back to the first way!

But, as I said, every parent should do what they think best - as we all did before endless advice on the net......:whistle:

I would also think that, for the sake of a happy relationship, mum and dad need private time together, to be lovers, as well as parents, and I wonder how that works when there is a toddler/young child in the same room? :think:

Didn't seem to matter in centuries gone by when it would be common for the entire family to share the same bed

We had our son in the same room as us until he was 18 months - mainly because we lived in a tiny flat at the time. Our daughter was in with us until she out-grew her crib at around 6 months. In both cases we still managed to have some husband/wife time :A

Daily Fail i know......but another rescue today of a baby left alone in a car.

'mother' went shopping and left baby alone in locked car....onlookers called the police.

baby ok after being checked over in hospital.

wonder if Social services will advise mother on a monitor that would have helped in this situation? :mad:

Each to their own, but if you are talking infant mortality wise, it was more common in previous generations (various reasons).

I am of (obviously) an older generation than you, and I still think best to do what instinct tells you, and ignore the conflicting medical advice!

After ending up with 4 kids, 10 grandkids (all ok lol) and a great grandchild shortly, I was just commenting that we all managed before, without having our kids in the same room etc., and needing to ask on the net.....;)

Pretty stupid to leave a child, in a car, in this weather......when did common sense, for some young mums, fly completely out of the window?

Doh.
