Using Alarms on Nursery Doors

For an added measure of reassurance, you can also use safety alarms on your baby's nursery door. Once your child is old enough to crawl or walk, these become less effective, as kids often get up in the middle of the night. They could set off the alarm, giving a false sense of danger. However, with infants, you can be reasonably sure that s/he is sleeping safely when the door alarm is activated. Should an intruder enter the room, the alarm would sound, waking up neighbors or, with some models, even automatically dialing the police.
