Place a few drops of water on the electrodes before putting them on the baby.

Keep electrodes clean.

Trim the belt so there is approximately a 1 inch overlap.

Notify the fire department that you have a baby at home on a monitor.

Always keep a spare set of electrodes, lead wires and belts.

In the winter, use a fabric softener on the baby's sleepwear.

Review CPR regularly.

Take monitor on all outings.

Enjoy your baby.

Get out, everybody needs a break. Have a qualified babysitter (who is trained in CPR) watch your baby.
