He would lie there forever without making a peep if I let him. I also think it will be helpful when we transition him into his toddler bed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-monitor-in-older-toddlers-room#post-1780890 Fri, 25 Jul 2014 08:44:13 +0000 Pancakes 1780890@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ours died awhile back, and we decided she was big enough to do without one. Our house isn't that big so I can usually hear her. She is 3. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-monitor-in-older-toddlers-room#post-1780883 Fri, 25 Jul 2014 08:42:44 +0000 MamaBehr 1780883@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do, and she's almost 4.5 yo. It's because she's upstairs, we are downstairs and on opposites sides of the house. I'm not entirely sure when we will stop using it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-monitor-in-older-toddlers-room#post-1780784 Fri, 25 Jul 2014 08:17:15 +0000 pelikila 1780784@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have only ever had a sound monitor and we still use it even though C is 3.5 years old. We have a split level house so we are not near him and I like white noise at night so I wouldn't hear him unless he was truly throwing a tantrum and I certainly don't want him to get to that point and then not be able to go back to sleep once I do hear him. He's always been a poor sleeper. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-monitor-in-older-toddlers-room#post-1780776 Fri, 25 Jul 2014 08:13:29 +0000 autumnlove 1780776@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, we don't use one anymore. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-monitor-in-older-toddlers-room#post-1780774 Fri, 25 Jul 2014 08:13:02 +0000 Canoli 1780774@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, he is 2.5 and we still use it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-monitor-in-older-toddlers-room#post-1780771 Fri, 25 Jul 2014 08:11:07 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 1780771@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. I can hear him fine at night but esp for naps I like to know that he's actually sleeping instead of playing on the sly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-monitor-in-older-toddlers-room#post-1780719 Fri, 25 Jul 2014 07:56:27 +0000 swurlygurl 1780719@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I love watching her sleep after I put her down - I always miss her as soon as I sit down after bedtime </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-monitor-in-older-toddlers-room#post-1780707 Fri, 25 Jul 2014 07:50:33 +0000 winniebee 1780707@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use it only occasionally (usually at nap time) because of the way our current house is set up we can't hear him while sitting in the family room etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-monitor-in-older-toddlers-room#post-1780654 Fri, 25 Jul 2014 07:22:42 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 1780654@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have two cameras in the children's room, one for each child focused on their bed. I haven't really been using it a lot lately but that's because I've been spending more time in the office (which is right next to their room) when they're going down for bed. I keep them in there because I do enjoy having eyes and ears in there when I'm not in the office, like upstairs. Or if one is sleeping and the other one wants to go outside, then we take the monitor with us. Not sure when we'll stop using them but it'll probably be a few years yet! We're still not consistently getting P to go to bed and -stay- in bed! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-monitor-in-older-toddlers-room#post-1780652 Fri, 25 Jul 2014 07:22:09 +0000 loveisstrange 1780652@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. We stopped a long time ago. Of course, we never used more than a sound monitor. I felt video was unnecessary. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-monitor-in-older-toddlers-room#post-1780646 Fri, 25 Jul 2014 07:18:23 +0000 Mrs. Tiger 1780646@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS1 is nearly 3 and I have no plans of stopping, mostly for the times when he's falling asleep or sleeping and we're still up downstairs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-monitor-in-older-toddlers-room#post-1780640 Fri, 25 Jul 2014 07:15:41 +0000 Weagle 1780640@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We still use ours. There are 3 closed doors between us and her at night, so it would be a little hard to hear her. Plus, I'm all over the house and outside during naps. I think it will be helpful to have when we transition to a twin bed too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-monitor-in-older-toddlers-room#post-1780590 Fri, 25 Jul 2014 06:48:39 +0000 BelugaBean 1780590@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes but it's mainly because we still keep her door shut plus we have a million fans going in our room. So I feel like I wouldn't be able to hear her if I didn't. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-monitor-in-older-toddlers-room#post-1780568 Fri, 25 Jul 2014 06:40:34 +0000 GrapeCrush 1780568@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used just a sound one for his room. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-monitor-in-older-toddlers-room#post-1780549 Fri, 25 Jul 2014 06:31:58 +0000 looch 1780549@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use it sporadically, like on the weekends, when I am going to be doing a project or something outside. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-monitor-in-older-toddlers-room#post-1780547 Fri, 25 Jul 2014 06:30:17 +0000 Mamaof2 1780547@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used one with DS until he was 4 - but his room is at the opposite end of the house and I wasn't sure I could hear him if he needed me.</p> <p>DD is almost 3.5 and I still use one for her as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-monitor-in-older-toddlers-room#post-1780529 Fri, 25 Jul 2014 06:15:00 +0000 littlek 1780529@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If your LO is over 2, do you still have a monitor in his/her room? LOs room is across from ours so I'm not sure if it's necessary now that he's older. </p>
