Baby Breathing Monitors: “The Best Bit of Kit for any New Mum!”

One of the big advances in Baby Monitor Technology in the last couple of years has been the innovation of Baby Breathing Sensor Monitors for use in the home. The technology behind the new must-have items has been in use in maternity wards and baby clinics across the UK for some time, however it is now making its way in to Nurseries across the country.

Apnea, or Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), is one of the leading causes of death in babies under 12mths old. Baby Breathing Sensor Monitors are the first line of defence for your child against such things happening. As soon as your baby’s breathing becomes abnormal, your Baby Breathing Monitor will alert you that lifesaving action is needed.

Utilising a large sensor pad that is placed under the baby’s mattress in the cot, Baby Breathing Monitors constantly monitor the baby’s breathing, checking for any slowing or stoppages in breathing. If there are any abnormalities, the Baby Breathing Monitor will give an alert to make you aware of the difficulties your child may be having. Baby Breathing Monitors are available at a range of prices, ensuring there is one for every budget. The question begs however, am I endangering my child’s life by buying a cheap Baby Breathing Monitor? To discuss this further, we shall compare the options available in Baby Breathing Monitors, one from the lower end of the price bracket, and one from the higher end.

Tomy TSP500 Baby Breathing Monitor retails at £39.99, and is one of the less expensive Baby Breathing Monitors available. As you would expect with products from the Tomy brand, it is of the highest quality, and is very well designed, looking stylish in any nursery. One of the key areas when discussing Baby Breathing Monitors is the size of the pad that lies underneath your baby to detect their breathing movements. The larger the pad, the greater the effective area the Monitor can detect movement over. The Tomy TSP500 has a Sensor Mat with dimensions 32x21cm (in relative terms, slightly larger than an A4 sheet). When comparing this to the size of the average baby, it is a fairly good size, and sure to be adequate for most children, as long as the child is not prone to move around the cot whilst they sleep (if the child moves off the mat in their sleep, you will get a ‘false alarm’, and be rushed through to the nursery panicking, only to find your child is well, and merely snuggling in a corner of the cot.

To give comparison, it is worth comparing the Tomy TSP500 to one of the higher priced Baby Breathing Monitors, the Nanny BM02 Baby Breathing Monitor. The BM02 Baby Monitor retails at £69.99, and is produced by Nanny Monitor, a Specialist company who only produce the Baby Breathing Monitors, drawing on considerable experience to produce a high-quality product. One of the major points of the BM02 Respiratory Monitor is the very considerable size of the Baby Breathing Effort Sensor; 50x30cm. This is well over twice the surface area of the Tomy TSP500, and will cover a much, much larger area of the cot, guaranteeing a lesser chance of false alarms in the night than the smaller sensor pad of the Tomy. The Nanny BM02 Breathing Effort Monitor also comes with Medical Approval as a Baby Apnea Sensor, and can be upgraded to include an extra Sensor Pad, unlike the TSP500 which is limited to one sensor pad.

Another Baby Breathing Monitor in a similar range to the Nanny BM02, is the BabySense 2 Sensor Pad Baby Monitor. Priced at £74.99, the BabySense 2 is another Medically-Approved Baby Breathing Monitor, however it features TWO sensor pads, each with an area comparable to an A4 sheet. With the two sensor pads placed slightly spaced apart under the mattress in your child’s cot or crib, it drastically reduces the chances of them accidentally moving off the pads in their sleep, meaning they are protected all night long. The BabySense 2 is constantly rated very highly, with consumers giving it a robust 5 stars out of 5, and utilises the technology advanced in Hospitals worldwide to give a superior product with excellent detection abilities.

When discussing the performance of the three Baby Breathing Effort Monitors, it is worthwhile noting that all perform extremely well, being finely tuned to detect the minute movements of your baby’s breathing. The Tomy however may suffer from having a significantly smaller sensor pad than the Nanny BM02 and the BabySense 2, meaning its effective detection area is less. Tomy however may have combated this downfall with an innovation unique to the TSP500 Baby Monitor.

Tomy’s TSP500, whilst a very suitable standalone Baby Breathing Monitor, can also be connected to the other Baby Monitors in the Tomy range, meaning any alerts that are triggered will be instantly transmitted to you via the Baby Monitor Parent Unit. This connectivity is totally unique to the Tomy TSP500, and is a feature that has not yet been added to any other Baby Breathing Sensor Monitor. This alone makes it a very viable option when choosing a Baby Monitor.
