Maybe we'll stop when she turns 4. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-are-you-planning-on-using-your-video-monitor#post-831546 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 21:07:25 +0000 blackbird 831546@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When we have a second baby? It's so useful right now. LO likes the swing downstairs where it's cooler so I will put her in it and spy on her from upstairs. Otherwise I would never leave her unattended! I love having a video monitor. Yay technology </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-are-you-planning-on-using-your-video-monitor#post-831530 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 21:01:29 +0000 skibobrown 831530@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I guess that makes sense to stop watching once they know we're watching. I'll probably stop using it w/ DD when we have a second baby... or when the monitor dies from overuse. The latter might happen first! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-are-you-planning-on-using-your-video-monitor#post-831527 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 20:58:47 +0000 jmarionsmith 831527@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>when i nannied we used it well past the age of 3. i plan to with my lo as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-are-you-planning-on-using-your-video-monitor#post-831508 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 20:50:43 +0000 fancyfunction 831508@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ha - I was thinking about this and wondering just how old was acceptable ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-are-you-planning-on-using-your-video-monitor#post-831468 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 20:34:28 +0000 MrsF 831468@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think DH would send it to college with her! </p> <p>In reality - I'm not sure. I do love watching her though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-are-you-planning-on-using-your-video-monitor#post-831464 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 20:31:50 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 831464@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have one for his nursery but we're buying one for the playroom. He won't be in there alone usually, but for when I have to check on dinner or use the bathroom, I want to see him without having to take him with me. The playroom is upstairs. So, I'd say like...until he's 5? Until choking hazards are out of the question. He has nothing in there that is small enough anyways but, you know.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-are-you-planning-on-using-your-video-monitor#post-831420 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 20:17:28 +0000 heffalump 831420@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have no idea. I know someone who seriously did use an audio monitor to spy on her teenage sons. I will not be that mom! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-are-you-planning-on-using-your-video-monitor#post-831410 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 20:12:51 +0000 BananaPancakes 831410@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Forever. Through the teen years. Mommy's always watching. Ha ha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-are-you-planning-on-using-your-video-monitor#post-831362 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 19:58:38 +0000 MrsStar 831362@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lo is 8 months and I still haven't managed to get a video monitor yet, but when I do (eventually!) I plan to use it as long as possible. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-are-you-planning-on-using-your-video-monitor#post-831039 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 17:50:33 +0000 MsLipGloss 831039@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Until I have to take it out.

I don't know. I haven't really thought about it. I love being able to easily peek at him sleeping. If baby #2 ends up sharing a room with E then I'll have an excuse to keep it in there :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-are-you-planning-on-using-your-video-monitor#post-830810 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 16:00:37 +0000 lovehoneybee 830810@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH wants to stop using ours as soon as E realizes we can see him. He's definitely aware of the camera--he stares directly at it sometimes, but he hasn't made the connection that we can see him yet. I'm hoping it will be a while, I like being able to watch him sleep and he's too light of a sleeper for me to sneak in and peek in on him. </p> <p>When will you stop using your video monitor? </p>
