I want a reality check from other parents: we have two separate baby monitors— one for the 1 yo and one for the 4 yo. They both sleep with noise machines so it could be difficult to tell if something is wrong. We have a baby gate up that prevents the 4 yo from coming to get us because I am afraid she will fall down the stairs (she sleeps on the second floor, hubby and I on the first). I am thinking of ditching the 4 yo’s monitor but I don’t feel like I can do that until she could come get us by herself and I am scared she will accidentally fall down the stairs in the middle of the night (she is not the most coordinated kid). I am rethinking this though because she has had nightmares on and off and I am a light sleeper and have trouble going back to sleep after middle of the night wakings and this morning I had to spend 10 minutes explaining why I would not be getting her ice water at 4am.tl;dr - When did you stop using a monitor and would you have stopped if your kid couldn’t come get you? via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2Rriskg
