About this product
Extra reassurance when they're resting. This Snuza HeroMD clips to your baby's nappy to monitor abdominal movements. It's designed to vibrate if movement pauses for 15 seconds, helping rouse your baby. It alerts you if movement becomes very slow or falls below 8 movements per minute. There's no need for cords, wires or pads to set up.
The portable design clips to nappies, helping you use it wherever they sleep. It detects tiny abdominal movements through its sensor tip. Audio and vibration alerts let you know if movement pauses are detected. A low battery indicator helps prevent unexpected power loss during use. It runs on 1 lithium battery (included). Adult supervision required at all times during use.

Would recommend
We decided to go with this over the sock or the mattress pad. It’s super sensitive/responsive and has been perfect for the first few months and really reassuring for us as a simple device that is comfortable, and no risk of burns like with the sock and follows him in to the bed to co-sleep which the mattress pad can’t. The only downside is that it was held firmly in place with layers of vests and bodysuits in the winter, now he is in loser PJ’s it often slips down the nappy and false alarms. Also need to take it off every time we change nappy (top tip; if you hold it in your hand or wiggle it in your mouth whilst changing you don’t need to reset it!). I would also prefer for it to alarm louder as in a quiet room it rouses you but if we are downstairs or in a busier environment it might not register as quickly that it’s the snuza that it is sounding. We will continue to use it, and would probably go for this again if we had another newborn. On balance, would recommend.

Peace of mind
We bought this as slightly anxious first time parents when our baby began sleeping longer stretches overnight. The device is easy to set up and compact, and has given us great peace of mind and allowed us to have a good sleep as we know we will be alerted should something go amiss. I would recommend it to anyone, it’s completely taken away our anxiousness over his sleep.

Amazing Service
I bought one in March before I had my baby, but found it was defective. Argos were great at giving me a new one straight away in store when I walked in. Great service, great product!

Perfect for Newborns
Bought this for myself and a family friend as a gift and couldn’t recommend it enough, it allows me to relax a little more at bed time knowing that this item is on her.

Anxiety relief!
Obviously we all know the struggles of postpartum anxiety, I was spending nights just watching baby sleep. This little thing has given me much needed relief. Works every time, I can see it matches his breathing and even flashes red when he holds his breath so I can see it's accurate. I love the fact it is visual (green/red light) and has an audio feature (a little ticker when they take a breath) It is also endorsed (brand partners) with/by the lullaby trust. £100 is alot of money, yes, but for the sleep it has saved me i think it's worth it!

Not the best
This device is quite bulky so depending on your little one they may not like it. I found that the device would get quite hot and make my baby irritable. She would scream and squirm when it was on her so I removed. I emailed Snuza customer service about this and they weren’t helpful at all so I returned it for a full refund.

Hi There.

Thank you for using Q and A.
Hello there,
After checking with our supplier, they have advised for the Snuza HeroMD Mobile Baby Breathing Monitor: Our Snuza Monitors were not designed for this unfortunately. It detects the abdominal movements of baby's between ages 0-12 months. This is then translated into breathing movements. It is more accurate with babies 1 years and younger. The older a child gets, the less accurate it becomes as adults/older kids move a lot more and will detect this which will not breathing movement. So we would not recommend it for this purpose. Please be advised, that our Snuza monitors hasn't been tested for seizures or other conditions, so it would be experimental should you wish to make a purchase and therefore we cannot say for certain whether it will work for you or not.
Sorry that we cannot give you a more definitive answer at this point. We are also not aware of any other monitor that you can use for your situation unfortunately.
Thank you for using Q&A.

Thanks for using Q & A.
Hello Leo13,
The supplier has advised the following for the Snuza HeroMD Mobile Baby Breathing Monitor:
“ The Snuza Hero MD was designed to continuously monitor your baby's breathing while they sleep. It's the world's first medically certified baby breathing monitor, and is clinically proven to detect if a baby stops breathing. If your baby's breathing stops, the Hero MD will gently vibrate to rouse your baby after 15 seconds. If breathing is still not detected after a further 5 seconds, the Hero MD will alarm so that you can act and respond quickly. Knowing if your baby stops breathing increases the probability of resuscitation. The Snuza Hero MD is powered by a replaceable CR2 battery.
It needs to complete a quick self-test by placing it on a flat/stationery surface each time it is switched on and before clipping onto your baby's diaper/nappy. This start-up test will run which tests all indicator lights, vibration simulator, the audible alarm and battery level. If a failure of any item is detected, the Self-Test Failure Alarm will sound and the device cannot be used.
The Hero MD does not connect to an app so you are unable to see any record of their breathing pattern , but the HeroMD detects even the slightest abdominal movement and will alert you if your Breathing rate is below 8 breaths per minute. ( the breathing light will flash red/orange and will sound a Dual-tone beep sound every second) If the breathing rate increases to over 8 breaths per minute, the breathing indicator light will reset to green (normal) and the warning will stop.
Hope this answers the question. ”
Thanks for using Q&A.
