SIDS is scary stuff. I remember waking up frequently to go in and check on them. One time, my oldest was sleeping really soundly and I couldn't tell that he was breathing. He also didn't respond when I nudged him a few times. I sorta panicked and picked him up, which finally woke him up (crying, of course). My wife was not happy with me but it scared the shit out of me.
I never saw the need for a baby monitor but the heart rate monitor would of been nice (I don't remember them being available then).
