When using a breathing monitor that is meant to be placed under the mattress of a cot/bassinet, is it safe?

Do you have specific concerns about this product?

Red Nose does not promote the routine use of monitors for well, healthy babies, however, we do provide information, including the types of monitors that are available.

As with using any product for your baby, ensure you follow the Manufacturer’s instructions.
Take care to ensure that there is no power cord or batteries that may be accessible to baby.

All families who have a monitor recommended for their baby require baby resuscitation training (Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation Training)
All families will benefit from Paediatric First Aid course.
