We only had one child, and we only used a baby monitor very briefly at the start and when it didn't work well we never replaced it. Our baby also didn't sleep in the same room as us at all, but he was right down the hall. If I was to have another baby, which I won't, I wouldn't use a baby monitor at all. The trade off is I did have to stay close during naps but my kid was such a garbage napper that I had to anyways.
