View submission: Kick out the baby
Please make sure all your CO and smoke detectors are good. Change the batteries when the times change (easiest way to remember). Most detectors can also be tested - we test ours on the 1st of the every month (one parents takes baby and dogs for a walk while the other tests).
If it’s within your means please consider getting combination (CO and smoke) detectors that can be hardwired or Bluetooth connected. When one goes off, they all go off.

I had our C02 detector go off when I was pregnant. Scared the hell out of me. Called 911 and the fire Marshall found nothing in the house and basically told me they don't really work well and they need to be below hip level to actually work because C02 stays low to the ground and wouldn't even be detected on the higher wall. He basically told.me to trash it. Why the hell are they installed by the dang ceiling anyways!
