What is Breathing monitoring?

Breathing monitoring watches the rise and fall of a baby's chest and raises an alert when movement pauses or slows. It is offered as an extra sensor rather than a standard feature, and descriptions differ enough to be worth reading closely. Baby Monitor Direct lists motion for its breathing monitoring, while ADC Solutions Auto, Arenti, Baby Plus and bonoch list none for theirs. A motion setting is not the same as a chest or breathing band, so check the wording on the product page before relying on it overnight. No monitor replaces your own checks on the baby.
