Call pediatrician: You should notify the pediatrician who told you to use the angelcare monitor. I would be hypervigilant in the mean time. I wish you the very best.

Check monitor: All monitors, even the most sensitive, record false positive events. Your monitor likely will tell you when it downloads at months end, which events are real. Until then, you're stuck with whatever the monitor 'thinks' is going in
