Day & Night  Handheld Color Video Monitor is perhaps a lifesaver. We did not have one with our first child, but we did have one with our second! truly a relief to not have to climb the stairs at every whimper. Plus our bedroom was on the main floor, and the kids were upstairs. No interference from our regular monitor, in our eldests's room.

The battery after six months does not last as long as far as keeping it away from the plug, but you can take it with you. it was super easy to set up and the picture is incredible. it is awesome to be able to watch her play ing the morning and know she's ok....
