Ok so....with Drew being a 26 week preemie he had SEVERE reflux problems. While in the hospital he slept on his tummy because they had monitors hooked up to him and could tell immediately if he had breathing issues. Problem was...when he got home he would not go to sleep on his back. So I let him sleep on his tummy. I LOOOOVED my angel care monitor- cant say enough good things about it. We even had Drew sleeping on a reflux wedge on his tummy (it was like a 45 degree incline but he was strapped into a harness that would keep him from moving and sliding down the wedge. That angel care monitor would even detect things with him sleeping on the wedge. I only had the monitor go off 2 times with Drew and I FREAKED out, ran to his room, and found out the problem was he had scooted to the site of the wedge and the monitor couldnt pick up his breathing. He was totally fine.

Ryan had reflux too and I put him on a slight incline and used the angel care monitor and he slept so peacefully. At 8 weeks old he was sleeping 6-7 hrs per night! That was pure HEAVEN!

I still have my angel care monitor that I will let you have if you want it. Its still in great condition and all I would ask is for you to pay for shipping. Shoot me an email if you are interested.
