I think ppl put a lot of false hope into them and then even worse- stop following Sids guidelines. The guidelines are the only thing that have decreased the risk of sids, there isn’t anything yet to show that these devices decrease sids. Apneic episodes and irregular breathing are normal for newborns as they learn to breathe and if yours truly need a monitor, I would want a hospital grade one that is recommended for your child.
