Liip, owlet sock, eufy, or something else?

So I'm a ftm but when I spoke to my sister about getting one, she said it's not really worth it in general and likely to make you more obsessive/worried about your baby having problems, unless youre expecting complications and/or your child has health issues. It's all up to you thought and if you're okay with spending all that money for peace of mind. They're just so expensive 😭

Probably just a baby monitor is good. But I never let baby out of my sight for first 3 to 4 months and would go in and check on my son every 20 mins or so when he was sleeping. Really did a lot of baby wearing and skin to skin also just to get some relaxing time in.


But here is what the Mayo Clinic said about these devices.....

The owlet saved my sanity. We didn’t register for it because we heard all the same comments about not needing it, but I was so anxious about sids that I literally slept with my glasses on and woke up consistently in a panic to check that my son was all right. And he was in a bassinet right next to me. Knowing that the owlet would start shrieking at me if something went wrong while I was sleeping helped me to actually get necessary sleep.

Yeah I got the Eufy Monitor, according to my Dr it does the same thing as the owlet, the big difference is one being FDA approved and the other not, so I opted for the cheaper one since it did the same thing
