When we had my little boy I spent most of my first 3-4 months absolutely crapping myself about things possibly going wrong. If he went quiet, I almost shit myself. If he cried, I almost shit myself. I reckon most new parents do. However, I soon realised that constantly monitoring him was pretty pointless. In fact I'm still not sure what baby monitors are for. This monitoring system thing, whilst awesomely cool, is only for over protective parents in my opinion and is cashing in on first time parents paranoia. Kids are far more durable than people would have you believe. You don't need this. But if it makes you feel better....
