What!? Get a new Dr. Asap! Also look into a sids monitor! Helps me feel more comfortable going to sleep. It clips to my son's diaper and will beep if he stops breathing (and when it falls off which isint often but wow I can fly out of bed fast). We got the Snoza Go. https://www.amazon.com/Snuza-Portable-Baby-Movement-Monitor/dp/B002WLGV08
The number one thing is BUY A SNUZA. One of the weird fears a new parent has is "is my baby breathing or not?" This little thing helps you sleep, tremendously, by taking a load of your mind. It's pricey, but hey, that's what baby showers are for :-).
They make these for babies, though it should work for adults as well depending on your application. It can attach to a diaper (or certainly to a belt or your pants) and detects breathing. I believe the orange part is like a sealed rubber finger that lightly touches the skin, and there's a diaphragm inside. Whenever there's any movement it resets a watchdog timer, and when a long enough time passes with no movement at all it triggers an alarm. If you made one on your own you could adjust how long it waits.
There is also the Snuza, that just clips to the front of their diaper/pants and detects their motion/breathing.
We use this model with the twins and all of us love it! I actually recommend it to every new mom because the price is worth the peace of mind. We considered [this] (http://www.amazon.com/Snuza-Portable-Baby-Movement-Monitor/dp/B002WLGV08/ref=sr_1_4?s=baby-products&ie=UTF8&qid=1373859903&sr=1-4&keywords=breathing+monitor) as well, the reviews seem good enough if you wanted to try out something more portable.

I have tested in on myself and it went off when it was supposed to and it was loud! Small and comfy too so I don't see it bothering a baby. Cheaper than the owl sock thing (I had to choose between them)
Also I swaddled both my kids for about 4 months and they're fine. Just make sure it's not loose
Ugh unexpected car expenses are the wooooorst. I'm so sorry :-( There are 2 other versions of the Snuza that are cheaper. Instead of vibrating after 15 seconds and beeping after 20, there's an $80 version where you can set it to beep after 15, 18, or 20 seconds; and a $67 version that beeps after 15 seconds.
I know it's expensive but the peace of mind it gives is so worth it!
How much do you want to spend? One of the best things we bought for our little one was the Snuza. It's a monitor that attaches to baby's diaper while they're asleep. If they stop breathing, an alarm goes off alerting the parents. I can not tell you how less paranoid I was after purchasing this for my son. I no longer felt that I needed to wake up and watch him just to make sure he is still breathing. There is a cheaper version found here. I believe the difference between the two is that the Snuza Hero vibrates (before sounding an alarm) to try and stimulate baby after a certain amount of seconds of no movement being detected while the Snuza Go automatically sounds the alarm. Either would be a great gift, especially for twins! :)
