Owlet or Snuzza?

I bought the owlet camera and the baby sock and it was a total waste of money for me! We’ve probably used the sock once and our baby is now 8 months old. The camera is annoying as anything. It’s got a bright blue light on it that shines on baby’s face at night so we’ve just taken it off the wall. Very early on we bought a conventional one with a screen we could watch which was much cheaper and more useful as we have to have the owlet app open on our phones to see baby.

The sock only works if you are within range of the charging base so depending on where baby sleeps think about where you plug it in.

I was super anxious and remember the first weeks just sitting up at night watching my little one but you will know your own baby better than anyone and I promise those feelings do lessen a little. Ultimately if you think it will give you additional reassurance then go for it but this was my personal experience.

Owlet dream sock all the way. Has saved my child’s life. The people talking negative about the owlet don’t put it on correctly, and don’t ever wash the sock portion

We have the owlet sock and it's the best thing I've bought.

this is what scares me

the sock is super easy to put on, and you just wash the sock every week. I’ve been using the owlet since 2020 with my first. My first had a 12 min seizure because she stopped breathing… that’s when I started using the owlet. Since then it’s notified me within secs of oxygen dropping. My second has an extremely low heart rate (dad has the same thing) and it gives me peace of mind. It’s notified me multiple times. My second is in her room and the base is in my room, couple hundred feet away and it works perfectly!

You can turn the light off on the owlet camera. I’ve used it everyday since he was a couple months and he’s now 17 months and I’ve just stopped using it. Absolute life saver and I have mega anxiety. It would let me sleep as I knew it would alert me if something was wrong, which is never has been!

I love our owlet sock. Super easy to use and gives me peace of mind knowing that it'll alert me and wake me up if anything happens with my son. Until we got one, I would wake up in a panic to make sure he was ok or I would just stare at him breathing instead of sleeping. I've gotten amazing sleep since we started using the sock. My son is 5 months and SIDS risk peaks around 4-6 months and it's honestly calmed my anxiety about it so much.

I have the owlet sock and I love it. But I use it when she's got a cold etc because her father had childhood asthma and her brother has it too so it just reassures me.
Even if I don't have an alert, I can go back and see her oxygen history over the night to make sure she's not dropping like her brother does when he sleeps if he develops a wheeze.

I have read some bad reviews about the owlet so I’m going with the Nanit pro monitor instead! Read up on all the reviews they speak for themselves☺️

Someone bought us the Snuza and we never even opened the box. I’m a light sleeper and she slept in the next to me, and she would actually keep me awake with all her noises. So never felt the need to use anything like that.

After spending the night with my baby in the Nicu for two nights and hearing the machines go off for literally no reason at all and the nurses strolling in saying oh any sort of movement will cause the machines to go off.. I decided to not move forward with getting one of these because I felt it would make me more anxious getting false alarms.. I’m also an anxious person and I had postpartum anxiety pretty bad. So I gave up my sleep to just watch my baby sleep lol

I’ve never gotten false readings😅, I’ve been using the owlet since my first in 2020, and am using it again. I get a connection notification every so often, but turn the base off and back on and it’s fine.

I’ve never used one. I’ve heard they can show false readings but that isn’t from experience.. the hospital was just traumatic enough to where I was nervous to get one 😭

I also have never had a false reading on my owlet. I also work in an ICU and false readings have very specific reasons behind them usually. For myself, personally, I felt that I would rather be awoken by a false read than to not know about it at all and potentially not wake up in time. The ICU nurse in me did not like not being able to check my kids vitals whenever I wanted to 😂

exactly!! My oldest had a 12 min seizure at a year old, where her oxygen dropped severely low. Her owlet literally saved her life. That right there was the moment I knew that was an amazing investment. As someone that’s chronically ill, and has spent LOTS of time admitted I’d rather get a few notifications such as connection issues, and maybe a false reading than have another seizure happen like that. I was absolutely terrified and watching my little girl be put in an ambulance like that was surreal
