Best Motion Sensing Baby Monitor – Angelcare Movement Sensor with Sound Monitor
angelcare movement baby monitor review
This baby monitor looks a bit like a spaceship, doesn’t it? But it’s a really great baby monitor, because it senses MOTION as well as sound. 
The blue mat in the picture must be placed under the baby’s mattress, and above a hard surface to sense baby’s motions, even when asleep. Another friend from pre-natal class, who had her baby a month early, told me this when I went over to visit and bring gifts for her son.
SIDS and Preemies
Being a new mother, and extra paranoid because her son was a preemie (premature, because he decided to come out before he was due) and an avid reader, she had heard all about Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) where a baby just dies in its sleep. Apparently, preemies are more susceptible to this. So, she took extra precautions and decided to invest in this Angelcare baby monitor, and she tells me that it really was a worthy investment.

Motion sensing Pads
When she told me that the pad could sense motion, I was quite skeptical. What if it malfunctions and baby Josh were actually fine? Wouldn’t that cause her undue worry and stress? As if caring for a premature infant isn’t enough. Surprisingly, she told me that since using it four months ago, she hasn’t had a problem with it. If Josh were to stop moving for 20 seconds, an alarm would sound so she can rush to check on him. And the pad is sensitive enough to sense the motion of a baby breathing, which I think is really cool.
I’m recommending this baby monitor to anybody who has special needs when it comes to selecting a baby monitor. The peace of mind you get from knowing your little darling is completely safe totally makes up for the little bit extra you pay for buying a motion sensor and baby monitor rolled into one.

Let’s just be clear that this monitor is NOT a medical device. This monitor will NOT prevent a SIDS death. It will alert the parent, to the fact that the infant has died. The first symptom of SIDS is death. SIDS is an irreversible event.
We can, however, do many things – all free – that will reduce the liklihood that an infant will die. Sleep baby on his or her back for every sleeptime. Breastfeed baby. Sleep baby in mom and dad’s bedroom, but NOT in the adult bed. Make certain that the crib or basinett does not have any soft bedding in it. No bumpers, no boppys, no pillows, no stuffed animals. Use a pacifier after breastfeeding is firmly established. Don’t allow anyone to smoke around your baby or in your baby’s home. Make sure baby gets plenty of tummy time when awake and supervised!
