I have a snuza and I love it, it's about £99. Doesn't do as much as the owlet though x
If you have anxiety don’t use any of them socks. I have one from Amazon and was putting it off because I know it will cause me more anxiety than put my mind at rest. Put it on when he was 8 weeks old but constantly checking the app even tho if there was anything wrong it will alert me.
Our newborn had an emergency breathing episode and we bought the owlet just to help us sleep. He’s our second baby (we didn’t bother with monitors for our first and hadn’t planned with this baby) but after the shock and the hospital trip we decided to do it. We are both heavy sleepers and have a 3 floored home. I feel better that I can chill with our toddler upstairs or in the kitchen alone and know he’s okay upstairs. It alerts my phone if he wakes or cries as well which helps. It monitors his heart rate and blood oxygen like he’s back in hospital so it just makes me feel better when home.
If youve got bad anxiety then i wouldn't use anything like that it will make you worse your going to be checking the app more which will make you worse especially if something drops or goes up as an example We have the owlet camera so alerts us when cries and moves but didnt bother with thr sock just because i know it would make me worse
We couldn’t get it to connect to the WiFi at all and apparently this is a known issue! We sent it back.
Yes, I was super anxious as our girl was prem and spent 4 weeks in hospital on oxygen so I was really used to looking at numbers all the time. I’m not obsessed with looking at it or anything, but it just gives peace of mind as the alarm will sound if anything is untoward. The only time it has is when she’s feeding and her oxygen drops but that’s normal.
As a mum to a medically complex baby I can recommend the owlet sock. It gives us peace of mind and has never alarmed unnecessarily. It also helps us monitor his O2 when he has been ill & alerted us once, he was a lot more poorly than we first thought and ended up needing a hospital admission and I’m not sure we would have noticed so quickly without seeing his oxygen saturation drop. I think they can potentially be anxiety inducing, for us it’s necessary as he also has seizures but if you think it will help you feel safer it’s definitely worth it x
I love our owlet, gives us so much more assurance and I find it very accurate. When he’s been poorly with a cold his oxygen had significantly dropped and it alerted us straight away, I sleep soundly knowing my baby is safe and I will be alarmed if needed
I am a super anxious mom and knew I’d drive myself insane with the owlet so I have the Angelcare baby sensor pad and monitor. It beeps if anything is wrong which reassures me more
I love our owlet. Never had a problem with it! ❤️
I chose the babysense breathing monitor instead - cheaper, no charging, click on /off and doesn’t have to be attached to baby. It gives me reassurance without all the extra stats which for me personally would make me more anxious. 🙂
