Hey mums,
What age did you stop using a camera/monitor to keep an eye on your little ones at night time?

4.5 yo and we still use one. But we use it so we dont have to get up and go to him! 🙈
He's been use to us replying to him thru the camera if he wakes. Our is noise sensored so goes off if he wakes up whilst we're awake. When we go to bed we switch it off. If he wakes thru the night I switch it on and talk to him thru it first. Usually hes happy with that (can't find pillow, cant find duvet, cant find cuddley) so not often I have to actually go in unless he has a nightmare.

My daughter is almost 4. We use one for the evening (between her going to bed and me going to bed) but don't have it on overnight.

Me and my husband had this conversation tonight! Our son is 2.5 and we still have it on but I hear him before the monitor clicks on anyways so I’m not sure. I think just routine. He’s still in a cot but I think I’ll just use it when we are downstairs and turn it off when we go up to bed from now on. It wakes me when he coughs and it clicks on or when he talks in his sleep (which is slow nowadays)

We still use one. My kids are now in the same room so we make sure they aren’t playing with each other. But before that we made sure they were staying I’m their room or that we could hear them if they cried. My son is 4 and my daughter is 2.5
