"I don't stream it while she's asleep. In fact, I rarely look at the footage at all, but for some reason, I just don't feel ready to take it out of her room. She still gets up in the middle of the night sometimes, or if I hear a weird crash in her room, I can quickly open the app and see she knocked over a lamp in the midst of a sleep position change."
"The original poster (OP), a toddler mom with another on the way, says she uses the baby monitor every single night. She was especially thankful for the surveillance after her two-year-old got stuck in her crib slats, and she was able to help her before she hit absolute panic mode. With another kid on the way, she's wondering if she should just take their existing video monitor out of the two-year-old's room and hand it over to the baby."
A mother keeps a video monitor in her six-year-old daughter's room though she rarely checks the footage. She does not stream the monitor overnight but uses it for occasional reassurance when the child wakes or when she hears a noise. A toddler mother with another baby on the way uses a monitor every night after a two-year-old became stuck in crib slats and required immediate help. She wonders whether to move an existing monitor from the older child to the newborn. Other parents report varied habits: some continue nighttime monitoring for older children, others stop once children sleep independently or use monitors only during daytime quiet time.
