I think it would freak him out! He went through a stage where he was a little scared of the monitors on the wall anyway, no need to add to that.

Oh all the time. She takes forever to fall asleep, so I will tell her it is nite nite time, some night multiple times. I will even tell her to roll over on her belly and close her eyes. Usually it works.

i've done it a few times, but lately it really freaks her out and she starts crying. so we've stopped!

Very rarely, she gets confused. I can see us using that feature more as she gets older and her bedroom moves to a different floor than the one we are on.

No, I tried once and DD was super freaked out so I stopped.

I did yesterday for the first time. She woke up from her nap just as DH got home from work and he wanted to go in to get her. But she started freaking out because she thought it meant I wasn't at home at all. So I told her I was in the livingroom and Daddy would bring her to see me. If she were supposed to be sleeping or needed me but I have to tend to her sister first I think it would just piss her off and confuse her.

Overnight, works like a charm if my 23 mo wakes up! I just say "night night sweetie" and he quiets up and goes back to sleep! We discovered it when he started waking up at night again after a loooong time of STTN. So amazing to discovery one quick check in of Mommy's voice, and he's comforted enough to go back to sleep! Really helped us out of that regression.

If the sun is up, though, it just makes him mad.

I sometimes try to, but it just makes her mad/upset, so it's not worth it.

I have occasionally to remind DD1 to lay down/go to sleep, but then I heard what it sounds like (DH asked me something over the monitor when I was in one of the girls rooms...he sounded evil!!). I've tried not to do it much since then. It's definitely more scary than soothing!

We have occasionally and it just confuses her. It's mostly when she's awake or fussing and it's taking me a minute to get in there while making a bottle or something (not really an issue anymore.) I have found it useful if DH is home. When she's been sick I've been able to ask "hey can you google if we can give her tylenol now?" Or something like that and he can respond to me while I'm in there. Or I can tell him something while he's getting her like "don't forget her diapers are under the changing table" etc. It's kind of creepy but nice.
