Terrified of SIDS

Went through the same thing, the owlet gave me so much peace!!

Get the owlet

Same here. I got the owlet sock as well but it was constantly alarming when the baby was almost asleep, the alarm notification was that my baby needed help falling asleep… So it was really counterproductive because he would almost be asleep and then it would wake him up. My husband got very angry at it because you can’t change the alarm settings, so we don’t use it anymore.

I think tik tok is terrible it makes moms like us stress so much and feel like we failing great choice getting rid of it im gonna do the same

Oh sweet mama. Don’t worry it gets better I remember I had anxiety for Sid’s before I gave birth and even after he was born when those TikTok’s about it came up I just pressed and hold so I can put “ not interested “ I think mines went away when he was around 8 months. That’s when the phase of him rolling over in his sleep went away he’s a tummy sleeper but now he’s adjust well but everyone goes through it in their own way

I heard negative things about the owlet and it having false alarms all the time that added stress. I would suggest learning about sids. I heard that it’s tied to vaccines and I believe it so we’re anti vax

@Jessica is that maybe an outdated version? I’ve had mine since July and I’ve never seen that alert before

Owlet sock is a game changer!! My daughter is 13 months old now & we still use it! We’ll probably stop using it until she outgrows the sock it comes with but for now it really helps us out.

Oh girl I was soo stressed! So I totally get it. I’m not sure when it exactly became easier not to think about it, but it did eventually ( maybe 2/3 months?) I just tried not to think about it and google thing like a used to and tried to focus on good things. The chances are sooo slow! And thinking about it so much and worrying drove me crazy and I couldn’t do it anymore. I practice safe sleep and sleep in her nursery with her, that’s all I could do 🤷‍♀️

I feel as a parent the best we can do is put our trust in our intuition and God. Living in fear is not fun. Being pregnant I thought about losing my baby, after that fear it was losing the baby during childbirth, after that it was SIDS, after that it was choking (nasal regurgitation/ acid reflux) really bad, now that she is walking it’s falling or getting into something she shouldn’t be into. My point is that fear never goes away technically it’s just a different way of losing them. The only thing we can do is protect them the best we can as they grow. What’s meant to be will be. That has always given me comfort. So try not to live in fear cause it will always be something else that you think about. Keep positive thoughts and enjoy the moments of now. Honestly I just did what I felt was good for my baby. She slept sitting up because she had bad acid reflux and nasal regurgitation and tht was the absolute worse because we saw it happen randomly after she nursed.

Owlet has changed my life 10/10 recommend

Don't go into the rabbit hole, I did the same. My baby was born 37 weeks, in NICU. Born 4lbs and I was terrified. Owlet helped.

my baby is 2 and i’m still scared of SIDS

Join the safe sleep group on Facebook, you'll feel better posting pics of your baby's sleep area

How is your sleep? My anxiety grew so so much when I wasn’t getting sleep. Do you have support or someone to watch the baby while you rest?

@Nichole I don’t know! I got it for my baby shower in August, so it’s only a few months old. It’s terrible though :( That’s so interesting that you’ve never seen that alert! It went off every time we tried to put him to sleep
