    hi,
    our 6 month old has started rolling in her sleep in the past week and is favouring sleeping on her side now! we have an angelcare movement monitor which beeps a warning after 15 secs of no movement and an alarm goes off if nothing still after 20 secs. the past 2 nights it has gone off but when we go into her we can hear her breathing and she kinda wakes with the alarm too. its a bit of a fright when it does go off naturally enough but it only seems to happen when she is on her side and right at the side of the cot. has anyone else had these false alarms?? seems to be common enough when i googled it but you'd still get a fright when you here the beep!
    anyone use any other type of monitor that they would recommend or should i just adjust the sensitivity of it do you think?!

    I'd take a look at how you've positioned it before adjusting sensitivity. It's supposed to be on a flat surface, we put board under ours as our cot has lats.

    We have a very mobile 15 month old who moves to all corners of the cot and sleeps every which way.. side, other side, tummy, back, leg straight up in the air. Never a false alarm yet.

    I'd say it's sensitivity so too.

    We had the same kind of problems with ours and adjusting the position and sensitivity worked. That beep would put the heart crossways in you :eek:

    Like others have said check the sensitivity we brought our son up during the day and spent 10 min putting him in the cot and adjusting the setting till we got it right and now we turn it on and check it once a week and haven't had any problems. Just check all your connections and the sensitivity.
