It alarms if no motion for 10-15 seconds. We have used them with our triplets who are now 6 months old and they are wonderful. We are able to sleep and they are not bothered by all of the wires.

Get a job and work and if the VA grants you something be glad yo got that, because I didnt get anything... Why would you want to get medical retirement and disability??

Every stinking time I started to drift off, I stopped breathing and bolt straight up gasping for air. What was weird this time, however, was that during on particular episode, it was difficult to take that breath...almost like my body didn't know how to do it. Really weird. Anyway, here I sit exhausted at work because I really only slept maybe two hours...it took THAT long to fall asleep.

The wires can be hidden under sheets and out of his way. While the mat type monitors aren`t quite as detailed (They don`t leave a record of breathing patterns), they do monitor whether the child is breathing or not - which may be all you need.
