Baby monitors

Tue, 09/16/2014 - 13:25

Hello! My 2 year old was just diagnosed with epilepsy. His last seizure happened during the day, but I am so worried another will happen when he is in bed and we aren't close by. Being that they last so long and he may need rescue meds, I don't want to miss one and something bad happen. His doctor said to go back to using a baby monitor. Funny thing is, we just threw them out since he is our last and didn't need it anymore. Now that we need them, we want to get motion, video monitors this time. Any suggestions on a good one to use in a toddler bed? Thanks so much for any suggestions!
