Owlet sock

Anyone got the owlet sock?
I can sleep when baby sleeps 🫣 he's started aleeping in his tummy which makes me so anxious so I spend all night checking he's breathing all the time! Was thinking of getting this to put my mind at ease so I can actually get some sleep!

I have the owlet dream sock and it’s the best baby item we own. You’ll see a lot of people complain about false alarms and those causing anxiety, but most of those people are/were using the older model owlets. The dream sock does live monitoring too compared to the older models. It brings such a peace of mind, I highly recommend

I’ve been using the owlet sock since he was 2 months old exactly because of this. My baby is also a tummy sleeper and the sock helps my anxiety A LOT! I just use it for bed time tho, no naps. I wish I didn’t use it at all because of EMF but otherwise I wouldn’t be sleeping at all. To reduce emf we use a no emf sound machine and we don’t use camera monitor, just audio (it was cheaper, too!) I figured we didn’t need it anyway cause I get to see if he’s moving or alert with the sock.

we’ve never had a false alarm ever!

the emf part does bother me alot!! But it’s better than something happening and wishing we had used it.

totally agree.

^ yes to all this!

I love mine. I’ve never had a false alarm and the other week it alerted me that my daughter’s oxygen was low it was 80 then kept decreasing to 69. It took me some time to wake her but once she woke up her oxygen went back to normal. I think she fell into a deep sleep. 10/10 recommend. I’m sure it saved her life.

When did you circumcise your baby?
If you DID NOT or DO NOT have a circumcised son DO NOT comment this post is not for you!

Did you wait a certain amount of time or have it done immediately?
Again respectfully, this is only for the parents who choose to do so.
opinions about how not necessary it is will not be appropriate for this post. Thank you in advance. 🩵

Vanilla extract

Has anyone used alcohol free vanilla in their babies formal to help them drink?
I’m 100% sure my baby refuses her bottles as she doesn’t like the taste of it!

Just anxious to try it, don’t want her to get used to it and then refuse bottles again after two weeks of using (correct me if I’m wrong but I’ve read you use it for 2 weeks max)

TIA 🙂

Can someone pls help i keep making this post and nobody is responding

My boyfriend booked a trip for us to go to mexico for a week as my push present. I have severe anxiety leaving my 7 month old with my mom. I know she will be in good hands but she’s exclusively breast fed for the most part but accepts bottles just fine. i have all my pumping parts packed and will pump when baby normally eats but i don’t want baby to forget me or have latch issues when i return!! any mommas ever experience this?

Car seat crying

My 6 month old PANICS the second I put him in a car seat and screams, cries, chokes and recently even projectile vomited on a 14 minute drive. It’s gotten to the point I don’t even bring him out unless it’s to a doctors appointment. I’m a stay at home mom with no family in my state and it has been very isolating. We’ve tried 3 different car seats with no improvement. Has anyone had a baby who hated the car seat? Any advice? This started at 3 months. I will add it does seem worse when he’s tired. He does cry on every trip though. He only contact naps and co sleeps so he reaches for me and will not sleep in the car seat.

Sex post C section

Hi ladies I’m 4 weeks 5 days postpartum and I had a C section. I’m not bleeding properly anymore just some brownish discharge stuff that starts on and off. I’d like to do the deed with my partner; is it okay to do so or shall I wait the full 6 weeks. I feel up for it but also worried because the advice is 6-8 weeks.

Postpartum

I’m only 3 days postpartum (FTM) and already have extremely bad anxiety. I’m crying every night, as I think of another night of no sleep. My baby will not settle in his cot, he cries every moment we put him down unless in his chair rocker. So me and my partner are having to alternate after 3/4 hours of being awake with him downstairs. I’m trying everything to get him to settle. It’s a load of overwhelming stress. I’m 23, I was desperate for a baby and now I have one and feel completely useless. I miss it just being me and my partner.
